BACKGROUND Lower respiratory tract infections (LTRIs) are among the most common infectious diseases with potential life-threatening complications. METHODS The study consisted of 426 patients with suspected LTRIs from mid and far western region of Nepal between September 2011 and July 2014. The specimens were collected and processed according to the standard microbiological methods at the Cent...

Objective: Understand the pathogen spectrum changes of patients with peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis, and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of peritonitis, guided by a rational use of medicines in clinical treatment. Methods: Perform a retrospective analysis of the pathogen spectrum, drug sensitivity test results and disease prognosis from 76 cases, admitted to hospital in ...

helicobacter pylori is an important human pathogen and a gram-negative, spiral shaped and microaerophilic bacteria with persistence colonization in gastric mucosa, causes gastroduodenal inflammation and destruction, resulting in diseases such as duodenal ulcer disease, gastric ulcer disease. when h.pylori discovered by warren and marshall, effective therapy developed for this infection and resu...

Infection with the Gram-negative pathogen Prevotella intermedia gives rise to periodontitis and a growing number of studies implies an association of P. intermedia with rheumatoid arthritis. The serine protease Factor I (FI) is the central inhibitor of complement degrading complement components C3b and C4b in the presence of cofactors such as C4b-binding protein (C4BP) and Factor H (FH). Yet, t...

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacteria residing in stomach area, sometime presence of H. does not demonstrate symptoms and causes disease to the host. possibly most common human pathogen, 60% world’s adult population’s guts are infested by this pathogen. Aim: Aim study was identify different age groups Haripur district examine parameters associa...

in study, spherical silver nanoparticles (snps) were synthesized by chemical reduction method from a metal precursor silver nitrate in presence of an anionic surfactant and strong reducing agent. in this experimental work, snps are synthesized in presence of different concentration of stabilizing agent and effect of stabilizing agent on size distribution of snps have been observed. further anti...
