urinary tract infection (uti) is considered as one of the important bacterial infections seen among renal transplant recipients. in the present study, bacterial urinary tract infections in renal transplant recipients were investigated. eighty-seven renal transplant recipients (57 males and 30 females) were included to study the bacterial utis. clean- catch midstream urine specimens were obtaine...

BACKGROND Burn wound infections carry considerable mortality and morbidity amongst burn injury victims who have been successfully rescued through the initial resuscitation. This study assessed the prevalent microrganisms causing burn wound infections among hospitalized patients their susceptibility pattern to commonly used antibiotics and the frequency of infections with respect to the duratio...

Pasteurella multocida is a gram-negative, non-motile, oxidase positive, catalase indole urease negative, non-spore-forming coccobacillus. Animal bites, scratching, and licking are the most critical risk factors for infections, but it may also occur without any contact. Data about prevalence of these infections in Turkey limited because cases apply to primary healthcare institutions where bacter...

conclusions it can be concluded that a. otitidis was the major causative agent of mee in children with ome. therefore clinicians should be aware that bacterial infection plays an important role in the progression of acute otitis media to ome in children of our region. results the bacterial cultures in 8.6% of samples were positive by conventional culture, with a. otitidis, m. catarrhalis and s....

Sitafloxacin (DU-6859a) is a new-generation oral fluoroquinolone with in vitro activity against a broad range of Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, including anaerobic bacteria, as well as against atypical bacterial pathogens. Particularly in Japan this antibiotic was approved in 2008 for treatment of a number of bacterial infections caused by Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative cocci and ...

Metabolomics has become an important tool to study host-pathogen interactions and to discover potential novel therapeutic targets. In an attempt to develop a better understanding of the process of pathogenesis and the associated host response we have used a quantitative (1)H NMR approach to study the metabolic response to different bacterial infections. Here we describe that metabolic changes f...

Respiratory infections, viral or bacterial, are a common cause of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). A rapid, point-of-care, and easy-to-use tool distinguishing viral and bacterial from other causes would be valuable in routine clinical care. An electronic nose (e-nose) could fit this profile but has never been tested in this setting before. In a single-cente...
