Time to positivity of neonatal blood cultures.
AIM To determine how long it takes neonatal blood cultures to become positive. METHODS Data were collected retrospectively on 451 positive blood cultures from babies on a tertiary neonatal unit between January 1997 and December 1998. During the study period, the laboratory used the BacT/Alert microbial detection system. RESULTS Complete information was available on 416 blood cultures. Twelv...
متن کاملCorrelation between clinical symptoms and microorganisms isolated from root canals of teeth with periapical pathosis.
Periapical pathosis cases were classified and the effect of bacteria on clinical symptoms was examined. A positive correlation between bacterial growth and clinical symptoms was found. Peptococcus magnus and Bacteroides species were commonly found in clinically acute cases, while oral streptococci and enteric bacteria were frequently isolated from clinically asymptomatic cases. and Goodman (8) ...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance of the Isolated Bacteria from Blood Cultures of Cancer Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: One of the main causes of increased mortality in cancer patients is bacteremia. On the other hand, antibiotic resistance is the major cause of treatment failure in malignant diseases especially in hematological malignancies. The aim of this study was to diagnose the bacterial strains isolated from blood specimens of cancer patients and to determine their antib...
متن کاملRhodotorula spp. isolated from blood cultures: clinical and microbiological aspects.
The emergence of less common fungal pathogens has been increasingly reported in the last decade. We describe 25 cases of Rhodotorula spp. isolated from blood cultures at a large Brazilian tertiary teaching hospital from 1996-2004. We also investigated the in vitro activity of four antifungal drugs, using a standardized method. The median age of patients was 43 years. The majority of patients (8...
متن کاملInvestigation of the relationship between virulence factors and genotype of Candida spp. isolated from blood cultures.
INTRODUCTION The aim of study was to investigate the virulence factors of phospholipase, proteinase, esterase production and biofilm formation in Candida species isolated from patients with candidemia, and to assess their relationship with Candida genotypes derived after repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) fingerprinting. METHODOLOGY Fifty-two strains were identified...
