The diethyl ether and ethyl acetate fractions of the peel fruit Solanum incanum. (S. incanum) were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). 105 compounds identified in fraction 75 fraction. Among them, 5 by fragmentation pattern, discussed, compared with NIST database. antibacterial screening was also conducted for bothdiethyl S.incanum four pathogens, two Gram-positive bact...

We describe an outbreak of pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae in a French retirement home. Eleven residents developed pneumonia. Eight patients had positive results of urinary antigen tests. There were no further cases after the implementation of control measures, which involved isolation of and receipt of antibiotic therapy by symptomatic residents. No risk factors for transmission of S...

Pulmonary emphysema is an important radiological finding in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, but bacteriological differences in pneumonia patients according to the severity of emphysematous changes have not been reported. Therefore, we evaluated the bacteriological incidence in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of pneumonia patients using cultivation and a culture-independe...

Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for more than 2% of cases of community-acquired pneumonia and 10% of cases of nosocomial-acquired pneumonia. The lethality rate of such infections ranges from 30% to 80% (6). These infections are complicated by the fact that these bacteria have acquired diverse genetic information that makes them resistant to most antibiotics. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Staphylococcus aureus is a cause of community-acquired pneumonia that can follow influenza infection. In response to a number of cases reported to public health authorities in early 2007, additional case reports were solicited nationwide to better define S. aureus community-acquired pneumonia during the 2006 to 2007 influenza season. METHODS Cases were defined as primary commu...

Serratia marcescens is an important nosocomial pathogen, which has been especially problematic as a cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia in the past two decades. Treatment of S. marcescens-related infections has been limited by emergence of multiple drug-resistant strains. Thus, the development of alternative agents for the prevention and treatment of Serratia infection is urgently needed. Resv...

The retrospective analysis clinical, anamnestic, laboratory, instrumental data 46 who died from diseases during period December 2009 November 2019 was carried out, which 26 patients had at autopsy. etiology determined vivo postmortem using cultural, molecu...

Pneumonia is a disease that frequently infects toddlers. cases in 2021 caused 9.4% of deaths children aged 12-59 months. The effectiveness pneumonia treatment decreasing due to the increase Streptococcus pneumoniae ’s resistance antibiotics. application natural plant extracts such as binahong ( Anredera cordifolia ) leaf extract chosen an alternative pneumonia. purpose this study was disclose a...

BACKGROUND Dried blood spot (DBS) is a reliable blood collection method for storing samples at room temperature and easily transporting them. We have previously validated a Real-Time PCR for detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae in DBS. The objective of this study was to apply this methodology for the diagnosis of S. pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib) in DBS samples of children with ...
