We tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the NF-κB pathway are associated with altered clinical outcome of septic shock patients. We genotyped 59 SNPs in the NF-κB pathway in a discovery cohort of septic…

Background: All previously reported eukaryotic nuclear genome sequences have been incomplete, especially in highly repeated units and chromosomal ends. Because repetitive DNA is important for many aspects of biology, complete chromosomal structures…

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a cornerstone of tuberculosis (TB) control in the developed world. In the last century, the tuberculin skin test (TST) was the only means of diagnosing LTBI. ELISpot and…

The nucleotide sequence of approximately 10 kb at the 5' flanking region (32 degrees) of srfAA of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome was determined. Eleven putative ORFs were identified. Three of them (orf6, orf7 and orf8) coincided with known B.…

A rapid microcentrifuge-based method is described for preparation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa electrocompetent cells with up to 10,000-fold increased transformation efficiencies over existing procedures. This increased efficiency now enables the use…
-
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus is a common source of bacterial keratoconjunctivitis in adults. Affected patients often report decreased vision, foreign body sensation, redness, and a mucous discharge. Clinical signs reveal diffuse conjunctival injection,…
-
PURPOSE: To evaluate the infection sources and causative organisms in cases of endogenous endophthalmitis and review the outcomes for patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae infection during a 10-year period. METHODS: All cases of endogenous…

Although infection following carotid endarterectomy is rare, consequences of this seldom seen complication can be devastating. Polyester, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and vein patches have all been used by many institutions for patch angioplasty,…
-
BACKGROUND: Infected prosthetic grafts and mycotic aneurysms carry a high mortality and morbidity rate, with a substantial risk of persistent graft infection, but there is evidence that this can be minimised by using femoro-popliteal vein for…

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To provide an updated evaluation of the bacteriology of acute thoracic empyema for more efficacious treatment. DESIGN:: The medical and microbiological records of all patients who received a diagnosis of acute thoracic empyema were…

Changes in the proportion of penicillin-non-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP) isolates during an intervention programme were evaluated by phenotypic analysis of all initial isolates with penicillin MIC > or =0.5 microg/ml (n=1248)…

An attempt was made to isolate L. monocytogenes from the cervix and endometrium of patients who presented to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center's Reproductive Counseling Unit with a history of two or more fetal losses. Endometrial tissue and…

BACKGROUND: We report on nosocomial infections (NIs), causative organisms, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in neonates who were admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and assess the performance of birth weight (BW) as a…

A total of 154 episodes of infective endocarditis (IE) in 149 patients were studied retrospectively with special regard to the major aetiological groups and the surgical evaluation. There were 136 episodes of native valve endocarditis (NVE) (88%)…

Aim: To study the incidence of endophthalmitis following cataract surgery over a 10 year period, and to examine ways in which this may be related to changes in surgical technique. Methods: All cases of endophthalmitis occurring over a 10 year period…
-
The management of 125 patients with post-traumatic neuropathic bladder and vesical outlet obstruction is described and a policy of endoscopic treatment is suggested. A total of 1652 spinal cord injured patients were treated during the period of…

This study retrospectively reviews the susceptibility of 135 baseline ICU candidemia isolates (from 1997 to 2007) to nine antifungals as determined by the AFST-EUCAST microdilution method and identifies the most frequent causative agents of…

A 10-year survey of antimicrobial susceptibility of streptococcus suis isolates from swine in Japan.A number of 689 Streptococcus suis isolates collected nationwide from diseased and healthy pigs from 1987 to 1996 were surveyed for antibiotic susceptibilities to 11 drugs. No isolates resistant to amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, and were found.…
