<h3>Background and Objective</h3> A variety of neurological disorders has been reported as presentations or complications COVID-19 infection. The objective this study was to determine their incidence dynamics long-term functional outcome. <h3>Methods</h3> Neuro-COVID Italy a multicentre, observational, cohort with ambispective recruitment prospective follow-up. Consecutive hospitalized patients presenting new associated infection (neuro-COVID), independently from respiratory severity, were...
Patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) often have blinking abnormalities. In this study we examined the kinematic features of voluntary, spontaneous and reflex in 11 patients PSP healthy control subjects. were asked to blink voluntarily as fast possible; was recorded during two 60 s rest periods; evoked by electrical stimulation supraorbital nerve. Eyelid movements SMART analyzer motion system. During voluntary closing opening phases lasted longer than Furthermore, peak velocity...
ABSTRACT We investigated the virulence properties of four Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains causing acute gastroenteritis following consumption indigenous mussels in Italy. The isolated were cytotoxic and adhesive but, surprisingly, lacked tdh , trh type three secretion system 2 (T3SS2) genes. emphasize that nontoxigenic V. can induce gastroenteritis, highlighting need for more investigation pathogenicity this microorganism.
We tested the predation of B. bacteriovorus against Escherichia coli in milk samples three different experiments. In Experiment 1, growth and predatory activity E. stored at 4°C were evaluated. 2, matrix was compared to optimal one medium choice. 3, influence native microbial community on experimentally added or indigenous grown tested. The predator increased by about 1 Log first 48 hours caused decrease 2 after 24 hours. 30°C reduced faster (3 6 hours) than (2 hours). preyed more nutrient...

No study has yet investigated whether cortical plasticity in primary motor area (M1) is abnormal patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). We studied M1 15 PSP and age-matched healthy subjects. used intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) to investigate long-term potentiation (LTP) continuous TBS (cTBS) depression (LTD)–like M1. Ten underwent iTBS again 1 year later. also short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) facilitation (ICF) paired-pulse transcranial magnetic...
Non-toxigenic V. parahaemolyticus isolates (tdh-/trh-/T3SS2-) have recently been isolated from patients with gastroenteritis. In this study we report that the larvae of wax moth (Galleria mellonella) are susceptible to infection by toxigenic or non-toxigenic clinical parahaemolyticus. comparison inoculated environmental did not succumb disease. Whole genome sequencing revealed presence a gene encoding nudix hydrolase, identified as mutT. A mutT mutant was unable kill G. mellonella at 24 h...
Purpose. From May 2015 to March 2016, an outbreak due Listeria monocytogenes serotype 1/2a and clinical pulsotype never previously isolated in Europe occurred central Italy, involving 24 confirmed cases. The article provides a description of the investigation carried out by multidisciplinary network. Methodology. Epidemiological microbiological surveillance was conducted confirm detect food vehicle infection. origin destination implicated its ingredients were investigated tracing-back...
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a gram-negative, halophilic bacterium widely distributed in coastal waters worldwide that associated with gastroenteritis due to the consumption of raw or improperly cooked seafood. The thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and TDH-related are major
Summary The relationship between Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from the aquatic environment and those cases of infection in humans is poorly understood due to low prevalence tdh ‐ and/or trh ‐positive environment. To address this concern, it would be useful analyse genetic relationships among environmental food with reference clinical isolates, also applying molecular typing methods. aim study was evaluate toxigenic V. Italian coastal waters seafood, examine intra‐species...
We report a biochemical method for the isolation and identification of current species vibrios using just one operative protocol.The involves an enrichment phase with incubation at 30 degrees C 8-24 h in alkaline peptone water on thiosulphate-citrate-salt sucrose agar plates incubating 24 h. Four tests Alsina's scheme were performed genus identification, respectively. All optimized as regards conditions temperature, time media composition. The whole standardized protocol was always able to...
The aim of this research was to identify and partially purify new bacteriocin-like substances from strains halophilic 'non-cholera' vibrios isolated food sources.Forty-five Vibrio spp. were screened for antimicrobial production. mediterranei 1, a nonpathogenic strain, showed activity towards parahaemolyticus related species. inhibitory substance (BLIS), released by the bacteria into growth media, concentrated ultrafiltration characterized. BLIS sensitive proteinase K, stable in pH range 5-9,...
Kimchi is recognized worldwide as the flagship food of Korea. To date, most currently available microbiological studies on kimchi deal with Korean manufactures. Moreover, there a lack knowledge occurrence eumycetes in kimchi. Given these premises, present study was aimed at investigating bacterial and fungal dynamics occurring during natural fermentation an artisan non-Korean manufacture. Lactic acid bacteria were dominant, while Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, yeasts progressively...
