Multidrug-resistant strains of Citrobacter have emerged, which carry Amp-C β-lactamase (Amp-C), broad-spectrum β-lactamase, extended-spectrum (ESBL), and other resistance mechanisms. These are associated with a higher rate in-hospital mortality. The object this study is to determine the mortality risk factors, susceptibility pattern antibiotics, prevalence genes in patients freundii bacteremia. From January 2009 December 2014, blood isolates C. were collected MacKay Memorial Hospital,...
HIV acquisition has been found to be associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic syndrome in the past. In this study, we attempt delineate factors metabolic among persons living a single medical center Taiwan using mostly integrase inhibitors-based regimen as HAART. A cross-sectional study involving all people (PLWH) aged ≥ 18 years who visited MacKay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, between September 7, 2022 January 31, 2023 was performed. modified National Cholesterol Education Program ATP...
A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor technology has recently been applied biochemically and clinically to the study of immunologic recognition evaluation binding parameters for various interactions between antibodies (Abs) antigens (Ags) at liquid-solid interface. The simple interaction hapten Ab fragment, e.g., variable single-chain fragment antigenbinding can be described sufficiently by a 1:1 stoichiometry in SPR. However, determination constant an anti-protein is usually...
There are few attempts at diagnosis among physicians who pay less attention to Clostridiodes difficile infection (CDI) and think that one-step enzyme immunoassay (EIA) toxin tests anaerobic cultures untrustworthy. This study investigated patients had loose stool more than 3 times/day after admission from April 2016 January 2017. We replaced the rapid test culture with a two-step of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) toxins, we optimized process microbiology culture. PCR for genes (tcdA tcdB)...
Abstract Lewis acid, Me 3 SiOTf, has been shown to be a promising promoter for aza‐Michael reaction of relatively acidic primary amide with α,β‐unsaturated ketone. A sries ketones was transformed their corresponding β‐amido moderate yields under this condition.
The purpose of this study is to describe clinical characteristics Salmonella bacteremia in adult patients and analyze ciprofloxacin-nonsusceptible isolates. A total 101 blood isolates from were collected January 2011 December 2013 MacKay Memorial Hospital. Eight screened for carbapenemase other β lactamase genes. Isolates examined by PCR the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) all subunits DNA gyrase (gyrA gyrB) genes topoisomerase IV (parC parE) There 22 (21.78%) S. enterica...

Abstract The product and direct role of the rssC gene Serratia marcescens is unknown. For unraveling gene, atomic force microscopy has been used to identify surfaces intact S. wild-type CH-1 cells mutant CH-1ΔC cells. detailed surface topographies were directly visualized, quantitative measurements physical properties membrane structures provided. observed before after treatment with lysozyme, their topography-related parameters, e.g., a valley-to-peak distance, mean height, roughness,...
Abstract Background Elizabethkingia species are antibiotic-resistant microbes. It is a serious bacterial pathogen that can cause the patient to die. Thanks technology of sequencing, we identify different strains species. The genus currently comprises 6 species, E. meningoseptica, miricola, anophelis, bruuniana, ursingii and occul. In previous study in Taiwan, meningoseptica was major strain caused infection from 2009 2016. But another reference, found anophelis became dominant other...
In Taiwan between 1987 and 1996, 45 sporadic cases of Salmonella paratyphi A were detected. The majority cases, a total 24, occurred in the year thus accounting for 53% all cases. 33 (73%) imported; 8 (18%) local cases; 4 (9%) unknown origin. Most imported infected Southeast Asia: 31% Thailand, 27% Indonesia, 7% on mainland China, 2% each Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar. pathogenic agents 37 (82.2%) detected by blood culture, 6 (5 carriers) (13.3%) from feces, one (2.2%) bile bone...
