Pseudomonas aeruginosa healthcare-associated infections are one of the top antimicrobial resistance threats world-wide. In order to analyze current trends, we performed a Spanish nation-wide high-resolution analysis susceptibility profiles, genomic epidemiology and resistome P. over five-year time lapse.A total 3.180 nonduplicated clinical isolates from two surveys in October 2017 2022 were analyzed. MICs 13 antipseudomonals determined by ISO-EUCAST. Multidrug (MDR)/extensively drug...
A total of 4,284 H2S-positive colonies isolated on salmonella-shigella agar and 4,350 Hektoen were flooded with 5 microliters a reagent (MUCAP test; Biolife Italiana S.r.l., Milan, Italy) observed after 3 to min for the development fluorescence produced in presence C8 esterase enzyme. All 794 752 identified as positive Salmonella spp. conventional biochemical tests found MUCAP test (the sensitivity was 100% negative predictive value both media). Moreover, only six isolates by Proteus...
A variety of glycolipids were found in a collection strains Mycobacterium fortuitum and two patterns established by thin-layer chromatography. compound present all the studied was identified as 2,3,4-triacyltrehalose its overall structure determined infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Fatty acyl groups this molecule tetradecanoyl, hexadecenoyl, hexadecanoyl, octadecenoyl, octadecanoyl 2-methyl-branched unsaturated...
To determine the levels of NT-pro BNP in HIV patients over 40 years who are receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and investigating potential independent clinical or laboratory factors.We peripheral blood from Costa del Sol Hospital, years. We collected epidemiological, classical cardiovascular risk factors variables associated with infection status. The qualitative were compared using χ2 test. NT-proBNP taken as dependent variable. association between these quantitative...
Background: Clinical laboratories seeking accreditation for compliance with ISO 15189:2003 need to demonstrate that the physiological reference intervals communicated all users of laboratory service are appropriate patient population served and measurement systems used. In case immunological quantities, few articles have been published in peer-reviewed journals.
ABSTRACT Two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from sputum and bronchoalveolar samples with high-level resistance to cefotaxime (MIC = 8 16 μg/ml) are described. One them, belonging serogroup 19, was also highly resistant penicillin μg/ml), while the other, 14, intermediate in its 0.25 μg/ml). To our knowledge, these first two be Spain such high levels cefotaxime.
Fatty and mycolic acids the pattern of glycolipids were studied in a collection 34 strains ‘Mycobacterium habana’ two Mycobacterium simiae. Major these micro-organisms assigned to glycopeptidolipid (GPL) structural type, but both mycobacteria differed patterns obtained by TLC. The ‘M. separated into four groups (A-D), taking account presence or absence several polar GPLs: group A contained GPL-I, GPL-II GPL-III; B GPL-II’, C did not contain any compounds. bacteria similar, ranged from 14 26...
The mycolic acids of several strains Mycobacterium gordonae were examined by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Both HPLC TLC revealed two patterns mycolates among the M. studied. As determined TLC, one pattern was composed α-, methoxy- keto-mycolates; other these plus an additional component, which identified as dicarboxy-mycolates. dicarboxy-mycolates only found in those that displayed a so-called HPLC-double-cluster pattern. Detailed structural analyses indicated compounds...
We studied the capacity of 10 selective media (Rambach agar, RB; salmonella‐shigella SS; SM‐ID medium, SM; Hektoen enteric HE; modified semisolid Rappaport‐Vassiliadis MSRV; bismuth sulphite BS; MacConkey MC; brilliant green BG; novobiocin‐brilliant green‐glucose NBG; and green‐glycerol‐lactose NBGL), C 8 ‐esterase test (MUCAP test, Biolife, Italy) to detect growth 14 strains lactose‐positive Salmonella (12 Salm. virchow two montevideo ) 16 arizonae. Suspensions pure strain were plated on...
To evaluate the pattern of erythropoietin (EPO) and some proinflammatory cytokines in anemia chronic disorders (ACD) secondary to infection.Sequential determination serum interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), necrosis tumoral factor alpha (TNF-alpha), gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), interleukin-6 (IL-6), 25 patients with bacterial infectious diseases ACD criteria. We evaluated relationship these mediators iron metabolism.Serum EPO levels significatively decreased compared initial values, last...
