Microbiological and microstructural analysis of indwelling bladder catheters and urinary tract infection prevention.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the microbiological and microstructural part of indwelling urinary catheters and their association with urinary tract … It was found that 35.71% of the samples had mature biofilm adhered to the catheter tip. Biofilms of Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecium and Enterobacter cloacae stood out. The presence of magnesium-ammonium-phosphate crystal was associated with the presence of urinary tract infection and with Proteus …

[Urinary bacteria in elderly patients with urinary incontinence and low levels of daily activity].

The results of bacteria isolated from the urine of inactive elderly patients with urinary incontinence in 1982, 87, 93 and 95 were compared and the chronological changes of urinary bacteria were analyzed. The following results were obtained: (1) The most common bacteria isolated from the patients in 1995 were D-group Enterococcus, followed by Providencia rettgeri, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis. It is thought that the main cause of the more frequent isolation of Enterococcus is an abuse of cephems and fecal contamination. (2) The most common bacteriaisolated from the pat…

Prevention of radiation-induced bacteraemia by post-treatment with OK-432 and aztreonam.

The effects of combined treatment with OK-432, an immunomodulator prepared from Streptococcus haemolyticus, and aztreonam, a monobactum antibiotic, in the prevention of radiation-induced bacteraemia and mortality were examined in ICR-MCH mice irradiated with 9.5 Gy. The organisms recovered from the irradiated mice were Streptococcus faecalis and Proteus mirabilis. Treatment with aztreonam reduced the incidence of mice infected with Proteus mirabilis (p < 0.01), but it showed no efficacy on Streptococcus faecalis. OK-432 could reduce the frequency of bacteraemia attributed to both organisms (p …

Urinary tract infection and drug-resistant bacteria in different patient populations.

A 1-year survey of the pathogens causing urinary tract infections was conducted in three institutions: a rehabilitation hospital, a general hospital and outpatient clinics. Gram-negative rods accounted for 96% of the infections. In the general hospital and the outpatient clinics, Escherichia coli was the most prevalent pathogen, while Proteus sp. were most prevalent in the rehabilitation hospital. The frequency of drug-resistant isolates was significantly higher in the rehabilitation hospital than in the general hospital and the outpatient clinics. This was most conspicuous in the use of the b…

Epidermal nevus superimposed by psoriatic plaque in a girl with proteous syndrome.

Proteus syndrome (PS) is a rare syndrome characterized by asymmetric limb overgrowth, vascular malformation, and hamartomas. In this study we report a case of PS in a 13-year-old girl with chief complaint of a new cutaneous lesion that was diagnosed and treated as leishmaniasis.

In vitro porphyrin-based photodynamic therapy against mono and polyculture of multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from integumentary infections in animals.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms have been frequently isolated from integumentary lesions of animals, and these lesions are usually infec … ve different polycultures (Coagulase positive Staphylococcus (CPS) and Pseudomonas sp.; E. coli and Proteus sp.; Pseudomonas sp. and Proteus sp.; CPS and E. coli; and CPS and Proteus sp.) for 90 min. The efficacy of both treatments was evaluated by plating the solution exposed to light or kept in the dark and counting the colonies forming units after 24 h …

Complications of chronic suppurative otitis media: a left otogenic brain abscess and a right mastoid fistula.

Otogenic brain abscess and postauricular fistula are complications of chronic suppurative otitis media. We describe a rare case of bilateral chronic suppurative otitis media that caused a left temporal lobe abscess and a right mastoid fistula.

Группа рикетциз в Японии.

Острая фебрильная болезнь с характерной сыпью, встретившаяся в префектуре Токусима, оказалась пятнистой группой рикетциоза, которая продемонстрировала значительный рост агглутининов до Протеуса ОХ2 и ОХ19 и значительно высокий уровень антител КФ до Рикитцциа акари и Рикеттсии рикеттсии.

The acute febrile disease with characteristic rash encountered in Tokushima Prefecture was proved to be a spotted fever group rickettsiosis, which showed a significant rise in agglutinins to both Proteus OX2 and OX19 and significantly high levels of CF antibodies to Rickettsia akari and Rickettsia rickettsii.

[Otogenic brain abscess with rupture into the lateral ventricle].

We present a case of otogenic abscess of the brain that ruptured into the ipsilateral cerebral ventricle. All the diagnostic, surgical and postoperative procedures which led not only to saving this patient but also his complete recovery are described. Because there is a great difference between rupture of a cerebral abscess into a ventricle and rupture of the ventricle into an abscess, particularly with reference to the prognosis, the pathology of the two different complications is reviewed, based on the literature.

Urinary infection in boys.A three-year prospective study.

73 boys who presented to their general practitioners over the course of one year with symptoms of urinary-tract infection and were found to … the study suggest that the natural history of the disease in boys is different from that in girls. Proteus spp.predominated as the infecting organisms. Culture of swabs from the preputial sac, and comparison with matched controls, suggested that the source of infection in boys is the prepuce or urethra rather than the bowel as in girls. Recurrence of inf …

Bacteriological analysis and antibiotic resistance in patients with diabetic foot ulcers in Dhaka.

The primary objective of this study was to isolate bacteria from diabetic foot ulcers and subsequently assess their antibiotic resistance ca … and 17.02% gram-positive bacteria were detected. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most common isolate. Proteus spp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus were also detected. Approximately 61.33% of the ulcers exhibited were polybacterial. In this study, it was observed that all bacterial isolates, except for Proteus spp., were …

Occurrence and Phenotypic Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Patients in a Public Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia.

PURPOSE: This study reports a cross-sectional investigation to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of the common bacterial contam … 5 pathogenic bacteria that include Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Proteus vulgare, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Salmonella spp. were detected with an overall detection rate of 78.4% (257/328). Among the bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens, 152 (46.3%) were Staphylococcus aureus, 60 (18.3%) were E. coli, 10 ( …

Bacterial Etiologies of Ear Infection and Their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia: A Six-Year Retrospective Study.

BACKGROUND: An ear infection is responsible for up to 40% of preventable hearing impairment; one of the reasons for frequent and unwise anti … (76.7%) (95% CI = 72.4-81.3), with 14/283 (4.95%) mixed infections. Staphylococcus aureus (27.9%), Proteus spps (20.8%), Streptococcus spps (10%), and Pseudomonas spps (8.92%) were the main isolates.

Resistance rates to commonly used antimicrobials among pathogens of both bacteremic and non-bacteremic community-acquired urinary tract infection.

This study examined the distribution of organisms and their antimicrobial resistance in patients admitted due to acute bacteremic and non-bacteremic community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI). During a period of 1 year and 1 month, a total of 201 patients and 253 bacterial isolates were studied. Fever higher than 38.5 degrees C was significantly more common in the bacteremic group than the non-bacteremic group (68% vs 48%; p<0.05). Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus mirabilis were the most common organisms isolated. E. coli was the leading pathog…
