متن کاملMisidentification of Candida guilliermondii as C. famata among Strains Isolated from Blood Cultures by the VITEK 2 System
Introduction. The aim of this study was to differentiate between Candida famata and Candida guilliermondii correctly by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and gene sequencing. Methods. Twenty-eight Candida strains from blood cultures that had been identified as C. famata (N = 25), C. famata/C. guilliermondii (N = 2), and C. guillier...

by the integration of a partly truncated class 2 integron as well as the deletion of large parts of the mobA gene (including the mobB gene) and the tetracycline resistance gene tet(B). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of class 2-associated resistance gene cassettes in members of the genus Pasteurella. In contrast to P. multocida, which is found in the respiratory trac...
متن کاملNitrogen compounds utilized by Alcaligenes faecalis.
Conn (1942) observed that Alcaligenes faecalis required organic nitrogen, but as observed by Porter (1946) no report was found of a study of nitrogen compounds suitable for continued growth of A. faecalis. It was reported, however, that this organism grew in a medium containing NH4 lactate as a source of nitrogen and carbon (Braun and Cahn-Bronner, 1921), and used NH4NO3, asparagine, cysteine, ...
متن کاملEndophthalmitis caused by Acinetobacter baumannii: report of two cases.
Acinetobacter baumannii is most often responsible for hospital-acquired infections and is occasionally associated with community-acquired infections. We report two cases of A. baumannii endophthalmitis, one with endogenous endophthalmitis and the other with postkeratoplasty endophthalmitis. Although endophthalmitis is rare, ophthalmologists should be alert to the possibility of patients having ...
