متن کاملEpidemiology and Pathogenesis of Staphylococcal Infection
An aerosol-induced staphylococcal infection of previously non-infected guinea pigs is described. Investigations concerning the dynamics of this infection indicate that: 1. An infection ("carrier state") could be established predictably in every animal exposed to the aerosol inoculum. 2. Infection was limited to the upper respiratory tract and occurred without apparent systemic dissemination. 3....
متن کاملEpidemiology of adult staphylococcal meningitis in southern Taiwan: a clinical comparison of Staphylococcus aureus infection and coagulase-negative staphylococcal infection.
The clinical and laboratory characteristics of 38 staphylococcal adult bacterial meningitis (ABM) cases (19 Staphylococcus aureus infections and 19 coagulase-negative staphylococcal [CoNS] infections), collected over a period of 6.5 years (July 1999-December 2005; total ABM cases=181) were analyzed.

متن کاملA Novel Adenovirus in Chinstrap Penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) in Antarctica
Adenoviruses (family Adenoviridae) infect various organ systems and cause diseases in a wide range of host species. In this study, we examined multiple tissues from Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica), collected in Antarctica during 2009 and 2010, for the presence of novel adenoviruses by PCR. Analysis of a 855-bp region of the hexon gene of a newly identified adenovirus, designated Chin...
متن کاملClinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Staphylococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome in the United Kingdom
Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (TSS) was originally described in menstruating women and linked to TSS toxin 1 (TSST-1)-producing Staphylococcus aureus. Using UK national surveillance data, we ascertained clinical, molecular and superantigenic characteristics of TSS cases. Average annual TSS incidence was 0.07/100,000 population. Patients with nonmenstrual TSS were younger than those with m...
