Carbapenemases-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae are challenging antimicrobial therapy of hospitalised patients, which is further complicated by colistin resistance. This study describes molecular epidemiological insights into colistin-resistant and carbapenemases-producing clinical K. pneumoniae.Cultures collected from 26 patients during 2014-2017 in the main hospital Molise Region, central Italy, were characterized. The minimum inhibitory concentration for 19 antibiotics was determined,...
Italian university students were investigated for: sources of information about HIV, knowledge HIV risk behaviours, as well sexual behaviours and condom use. A self completed anonymous questionnaire was administered to 430 in Campobasso, Italy (mean age 23,1; males 35,8%). Although TV, radio the printed press most common (>60% respondents), respondents preferred receive from physicians or resource centres (50 51%). Most (>97%) aware that specific (unprotected vaginal anal intercourse)...
Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the main causes hospital infections that are difficult to manage because multidrug resistance (MDR). The aim this study was describe a molecular investigation on nineteen clinical and fourteen isolates from environment in Hub Molise region, central Italy. Antimicrobial susceptibility evaluated using BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System. Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) with SpeI, Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC-PCR),...
Background: Despite the potential presence in many workplaces, biological risk is little known and largely underestimated, except healthcare environments. Objectives: To evaluate perception, knowledge behaviors adopted for protection prevention of risk, related 96 also to occupational activity, among construction agricultural workers.Methods: Workers were recruited at farms companies Molise Region, Central Italy, which visited within surveillance activities planned by local institutions. A...
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of nosocomial infections in critically ill patients, and strains are frequently multidrug resistant (MDR). This study aimed to characterize 45 clinical A. isolates collected different periods the main hospital Molise Region, central Italy. Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated using an automated system, PCRs were performed detect resistance-associated genes. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) carried out with AscI ApaI,...
Aims of the study were to evaluate Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and type-specific prevalence in four anatomical sites HIV infected men who have sex with (MSM) compared uninfected MSM. Participants recruited among attendees Infectious Diseases Clinics Central Italy. A trained medical practitioner collected by interview sociodemographic data information on history, sexual behavior, drug use. Swabs from anal canal, oral cavity, urethral mucosa, coronal sulcus tested for HPV DNA genotyping. Ninety...
The microbiological and toxicological quality of 51 samples dried herbs (Melissa officinalis, Salvia Malva sylvestris, Matricaria chamomilla, Alchemilla vulgaris Centaurea cyanus) cultivated in family-managed farms Molise Region (Italy) was evaluated.All the were analysed by using conventional methods, for preparation, an alternative Washing Shaking (WaS) protocol developed to reduce release antimicrobial compounds. None unsatisfactory with respect aflatoxin B1, only three from sylvestris...
Risk assessment, environmental monitoring, and the disinfection of water systems are key elements in preventing legionellosis risk. The Italian Study Group Hospital Hygiene Society Hygiene, Preventive Medicine, Public Health Multidisciplinary for Prevention Care-Associated Infections carried out a national cross-sectional survey to investigate measures taken prevent control hospitals. A multiple-choice questionnaire was developed, comprising 71 questions regarding hospital location, general...
Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are a major public health concern both in acute hospitals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs), considering the clinical presentations related costs. The study describes first regional experience on HAIs antimicrobials consumption obtained through point prevalence survey (PPS) 2016-2017 "Antonio Cardarelli" hospital, LTCF of Larino municipality (Healthcare-associated Antimicrobial use European Long-Term facilities, HALT-3) Molise Region, Central...
In July 2018, a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Escherichia coli ST131 was isolated from patient admitted to the Vascular Surgery Unit of main hospital Molise region, Central Italy. Sequencing and alignment with available sequences revealed that isolate harbored KPC-2 variant TEM-1 beta-lactamase. This observation raises great concerns about spread carbapenem resistance in national local settings high endemicity level KPC K. pneumoniae, underlines importance strengthening...
