Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and its closely related species A. pittii nosocomialis, all members of the calcoaceticus-baumannii (Acb) complex, are a major cause hospital acquired infection. In burn wound center Queen Astrid military in Brussels, 48 patients were colonized or infected with Acb complex over 52-month period. We report molecular epidemiology these organisms, their clinical impact infection control measures taken. A representative set 157 isolates was analyzed...
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emerging tick-borne zoonotic pathogen of increased interest worldwide which has been detected in northern Africa. platys also present this region and could possibly have a potential. However, only one recent article reports on the human esposure to A. Morocco no data are available canine exposure both bacteria. Therefore, we conducted cross-sectional epidemiological study aiming assess spp. Morocco. A total 425 dogs (95 urban, 160 rural 175 working dogs) 11...
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emerging tick-borne zoonosis with extensive increased interest. Epidemiological data are available in several regions of the USA, Europe and Asia contrast to other parts world such as North Africa. Blood samples 261 healthy individuals divided two groups i.e., dog handlers blood donors were analysed. Indirect immunofluorescent assay using a commercial kit was performed detect specific A. IgG. Two dilutions used assess prevalence seroreactive samples....
We report here one new, hospitalized case of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Belgium. The clinical presentation anaplasmosis, its treatment and the molecular serological relevant laboratory methods are briefly developed.
Nocardia is an ubiquitous soil organism. As opportunistic pathogen, inhalation and skin inoculation are the most common routes of infection. Lungs frequent sites nocardiosis. Testis a highly unusual location for
Ticks are vectors for a broad range of pathogens medical and veterinary importance, such as Borrelia spp., Babesia Anaplasma Rickettsia Bartonella spp. the tick-borne encephalitis virus.The Gram-negative bacterium phagocytophilum is present worldwide, including Belgium where numerous patients were shown to harbour antibodies against this pathogen recorded by Belgian National Reference Center (NRC) Anaplasma.The clinical presentation human granulocytic anaplasmosis an acute, febrile,...
The purpose of this exploratory study was to evaluate different accelerated tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) vaccine schedules for last-minute travellers.
Streptobacillus moniliformis is a zoonotic agent associated with rat bites. We present patient cellulitis, subcutaneous abscess, and septic mono-arthritis after bite of the right hand. The had no systemic features fever (RBF). S. was cultured from purulent drainage thumb abscess. This case illustrates an unusual clinical presentation streptobacillary infection bite.
Capnocytophaga canimorsus, oral inhabitants of dogs and cats is a cause zoonotic infections. It transmitted to humans by bites, scratches, licks, or close exposure these animals. Infections due canimorsus have wide range severity can sometimes be fatal. We report the case an 89-years-old man who suffered from sudden swollen native right shoulder. The blood test revealed inflammatory syndrome cytologic evaluation joint aspiration showed elevated nucleated cells count suspicious infection. A...
