The purpose of this study was to perform an analysis Streptococcus suis human invasive isolates, collected in Poland by the National Reference Centre for Bacterial Meningitis. Isolates obtained from 21 patients during 2000-2013 were investigated phenotypic tests, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), TR9 locus variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) (MLVA) scheme and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) SmaI-digested DNA. Determinants virulence antimicrobial resistance detected polymerase chain...
Streptococcus suis plays an important role in infections pigs but information about the epidemiology of this pathogen Poland and Belarus remains scarce. Ninety-six isolates from brain lungs were studied by PCR-based serotyping, analysis virulence-associated determinants multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Selected six further analyzed genomic sequencing transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Serotype 2 was most prevalent, followed serotypes 3, 4, 8 7. All carried fbpS; 30, 74 79 positive for...
Abstract The aim of our study was to investigate phenotypic and genotypic features streptococci misidentified (misID) as Streptococcus pneumoniae , obtained over 20 years from hospital patients in Poland. Sixty-three isolates demonstrating microbiological typical for pneumococci (optochin susceptibility and/or bile solubility) were investigated by tests, lytA 16S rRNA gene polymorphism whole-genome sequencing (WGS). All had a 6-bp deletion the 3′ terminus, characteristic Mitis streptococc...
Considering the world-wide problem of growing antibiotic resistance bacteria, photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has a potential to become treatment approach against some infectious diseases. In our study, four differently substituted porphycenes were compared in terms their bactericidal activity E. faecalis. All tested compounds had similar photophysical characteristics, i.e., there no significant differences location absorption bands or molar coefficients. Also, singlet oxygen generation...
