Binary mixtures of model systems consisting of the antibiotic ampicillin with either Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus auresu were subjected to pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS). To deconvolute the pyrolysis mass spectra, so as to obtain quantitative information on the concentration of ampicilin in the mixtures, partial least squares regression (PLS), principal components regression (PCR), an...

Gastrointestinal tract is the main entry for Listeria monocytogenes. Thus, the most common manifestation of infection is enteritis, but meningitis and meningoencephalitis may also occur. Unless recognized and treated, Listeria infections can result in significant morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of Listeria monocytogenes meningitis in a renal tran...

BACKGROUND The resistance of bacteria causing urinary tract infection (UTI) to commonly prescribed antibiotics is increasing both in developing and developed countries. Resistance has emerged even to more potent antimicrobial agents. This study was undertaken to determine the current antibiotic resistance pattern among common bacterial uropathogens in St.paul's Hospital Millennium Medical Colle...

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have emerged worldwide and have became resistant to a variety of antibiotics. MRSA colonisation in pigs was first reported in the Netherlands at 2005, where pigs were implicated as a source of human MRSA infections. Dust samples were collected from six large pig farms in Croatia from breeding pig facilities. On each farm, between 5 and 6 sample...
