BACKGROUND Distinguishing serious bacterial infection (SBI) from milder/self-limiting infections is often difficult. Interpretation of vital signs is confounded by the effect of temperature on pulse and respiratory rate. Temperature-pulse centile charts have been proposed to improve the predictive value of pulse rate in the clinical assessment of children with suspected SBI. OBJECTIVES To ass...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to evaluate provider practice patterns for evaluation of serious bacterial infection (SBI) in patients hospitalized with bronchiolitis and to assess the association of SBI testing with length of stay and antibiotic use. DESIGN This was a retrospective chart review of hospitalized patients <24 months of age with a discharge diagnosis of bronchiolitis from 2...

Ralstonia solanacearumstrain Rs-T02 was originally isolated from a bacterial wilt of tomato plant in Nanning City of Guangxi Province, China. It represents the most prevalent phylotype in Guangxi. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of this strain, which comprises 5,225 genes and 5,976,011 nucleotides with an average G+C content of 66.79%. There are 968 different genes between this isola...

background and objective: uttarakhand region is less explored, but possess a great biodiversity. this diversity can be explored for isolation and characterization of new actinomycetes strains for seeking antimicrobial molecules. it can therefore be predicted that novel bioactive metabolite producing actinomycetes can be discovered to combat multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. materials and...

We isolated a bacterial isolate (F7) from potable water. The strain was identified as Mesorhizobium sp. by 16S rDNA gene phylogenetic analysis and screened for N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) production by an AHL biosensor. The AHL profile of the isolate was further analyzed using high resolution triple quadrupole liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS) which confirmed the production of...

The aim of the present study was to isolate cyanobacteria from oil refinery waste water and detection of antagonistic activity of their extracts on four species of pathogenic bacteria. The cyanobacterium was isolated and purified on Blue green algae medium number 11 (BG-11) medium. Methanol and water extracts prepared from the cultured cyanobacterium after 45 days growth on BG-11 medium. The bi...

The antibacterial activity of natural zeolite (CLI) containing 2.60 wt. % Cu 2+ (Cu-CLI) or 5.07 wt.% Ag + (Ag-CLI) were tested against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. A. baumannii belonging to the European clone I and II were isolated in Split University Hospital, Croatia. The isolate from clone II was more sensitive on the effect of the metalloaded zeolite than isolate of clone ...

A case of Haemophilus parainfluenzae meningitis in a woman with a 3-day history of acute otitis media is reported. Her medical history included bladder cancer surgery. Unequivocal identification of the isolate was obtained by using molecular techniques such as 16S rRNA sequencing besides to conventional culture methods. To investigate bacterial virulent traits possibly related to invasive prope...

The Minahasa local pig is unique because it the oldest that has spread to Philippine islands. pigs have endemic characteristics they are in Wallacea zone. Research been carried out isolate bacteria from intestinal fluid and obtain an antibiotic response profile pure bacterial isolates. Pig samples were obtained two locations North Sulawesi, namely Minahasa. Intestinal fluids taken immediately w...

Apis cerana is a honey bee species with cavity hive known as the eastern bee. Honey hives have Indigenous bacteria that antimicrobial potential. are free can synthesize nitrogen compounds, sugars, and other bioactive substances. This study aims to isolate, identify test antibacterial of isolate against gram-positive Staphylococus aureus gram-negative Escherichia coli. used descriptive research ...
