We tested 187 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) for the production toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1). A total 111 CNS were isolated from tampons menstruating women and 74 unused tampons. Two genital tract a patient with syndrome. Strains cultivated by membrane-over-agar method to enhance TSST-1, culture supernatants two exquisitely sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. None produced TSST-1. conclude that colonizing tracts produce TSST-1 infrequently, if ever, are...
Despite the demonstrated protective effects of green tea and coffee intake against several chronic diseases, finding between studies have not been consistent. One potential reason this discrepancy is imprecision in measurement or consumption using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) record (FR) epidemiological studies.In a sample 57 healthy Japanese women, was estimated by validated FFQ 3-day FR, while their plasma urine concentrations polyphenol biomarkers were measured HPLC.
