Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is a globally emerging Gram-negative bacillus that is widely spread in environment and hospital equipment. Recently, the incidence of infections caused by this organism has increased, particularly in patients with hematological malignancy and in recipients...

Bacterial Etiology and Antibiotic Resistance Profile of Community-Acquired Urinary Tract Infections in a Cameroonian City.

International journal of microbiology

Nzalie RN, Gonsu HK, Koulla-Shiro S.
PMID: 27667998
Int J Microbiol. 2016;2016:3240268. doi: 10.1155/2016/3240268. Epub 2016 Sep 07.

Introduction. Community-acquired urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are usually treated empirically. Geographical variations in etiologic agents and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns are common. Knowledge of antibiotic resistance trends is important for improving evidence-based recommendations for empirical treatment of UTIs. Our...

Propionibacterium avidum infection following breast reduction: high morbidity from a low-virulence pathogen.

Journal of surgical case reports

di Summa PG, Yvon A, Larcher L, Raffoul W, Koch N.
PMID: 25672974

Bacterial bloodstream infections are a major public health problem, which leads to high morbidity and mortality of patients. On time diagnosis and appropriate medication will be the best way to save the lives of affected ones. The aim of...

Editorial on two chronic low back pain studies: A major change in surgical management of disc disease?.

Surgical neurology international

Pawl R.
PMID: 24340235
Surg Neurol Int. 2013 Oct 29;4:S373-4. doi: 10.4103/2152-7806.120780. eCollection 2013.

In two recent publications, the authors' hypothesis was that Modic type 1 changes seen in patients with chronic low back pain and herniated lumbar discs may be attributed to bacterial infection/inflammation. The first study showed that many herniated discs...

Congenital broncho-oesophageal fistula: An unusual cause of persistent pneumonia in a young adult.

Respiratory medicine case reports

Savvoula S, Vasiliki P, Kyparisia K, Christina A, Ioannis M, Athanasios K.

A 19-year-old female with a 3-day history of high temperature, productive cough and dyspnoea was admitted due to diabetic ketoacidosis and pneumonia of the right lower lobe. Antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid), insulin, fluids and electrolytes were administered, as appropriate. The...

Pharmacists' knowledge of the safety of antibiotics for systemic use.

The International journal of risk & safety in medicine

PMID: 26639686
Int J Risk Saf Med. 2015;27:S11-2. doi: 10.3233/JRS-150670.

BACKGROUND: Patients decide to take antibiotics themselves in 21% of cases of acute respiratory viral infections, influenza and acute respiratory infections [1]. The main factor of drug purchase at a pharmacy is pharmacist's recommendation. In 14% of cases of...

Ab Initio Raman Spectra of β-Lactamase Inhibitor Intermediates Bound to E166A SHV β-Lactamase.

Journal of chemical theory and computation

Miani A, Helfand MS, Raugei S.
PMID: 26613155
J Chem Theory Comput. 2009 Aug 11;5(8):2158-72. doi: 10.1021/ct900131q.

The assignment and the analysis of the experimental vibrational Raman spectra of enzyme bound β-lactamase inhibitors may be of help to understand the mechanisms responsible for bacterial drug resistance. We present a computational study of the structural and vibrational...

Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Escherichia coli isolates as agents of community-acquired urinary tract infection (2008-2014).

Turkish journal of urology

Yılmaz N, Ağuş N, Bayram A, Şamlıoğlu P, Şirin MC, Derici YK, Hancı SY.
