Two pairs of oligonucleotide primers were designed to amplify fragments the genes for Shiga-like toxin I (SLT-I) and SLT-II in a single reaction. A 370-bp segment 283-bp amplified SLT-I SLT-II, respectively. The specificities polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification products confirmed by using radioactively labeled probes. SLT sequences from DNA isolated 13 previously characterized enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains. No product was produced 20 non-EHEC As little as one...
ABSTRACT We have previously observed a significant reduction of ceftriaxone resistance in Proteus mirabilis associated with an increase the use cefepime, along decrease consumption broad-spectrum cephalosporins (CEP). However, we did not observe such Klebsiella pneumoniae . Therefore, sought to determine whether replacement CEP by piperacillin-tazobactam might be useful reducing sustained high rates this organism. used 6-month “before and after model”; during second (intervention) period,...
Objective: Bites from the brown recluse spider and other arachnids genus Loxosceles frequently induce necrotic skin lesions that can be recalcitrant to treatment disfiguring. The authors used a rabbit model of dermonecrotic arachnidism address therapeutic efficacy intradermal (id) polyclonal anti‐Loxosceles Fab fragments (αLoxd Fab) raised against deserta venom. Methods: were prepared by papain digestion affinity chromatography IgG fraction L. antivenom in rabbits. Eighteen inbred New...
Confirmed envenomations due to Loxosceles reclusa have not been previously documented in Turkey, our knowledge. This brief report describes two Turkish patients with suspected envenomation by spider bites on the eyelids. Material obtained swabbing lesions gauze was tested using a venom-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Both positive for presence of venom.
Abstract. Objectives: Envenomation by Loxosceles species (brown recluse) spiders results in large dermal inflammatory lesions. Venom‐induced inflammation occurs indirectly via soluble mediators of inflammation. This study aimed to explore whether the anatomic extent dermonecrotic arachnidism is due cascade proinflammatory elicited venom deposited at bite site, or diffusion per se. Methods: Three New Zealand white rabbits received intradermal L. reclusa (3‐μg) injections flank. At time...
Background: Loxosceles spider evenomation in man frequently results disfiguring necrotic skin lesions. Recent studies suggest that several proinflammatory mediators participate lesion development. We have observed deserta venom induces production of the chemokines interleukin-8, growth-related oncogene α, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 by human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Members Rel/Nuclear factor (NF)-κB family transcription factors are important regulators many genes...

Although the common mucosal immune system has generally been considered to have only short-term memory, recent data suggest that long-term memory exists for Shigella virulence plasmid antigens. Because such antigens might cross-react with environmental antigens, we investigated milk persistence of antibodies specific lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays detect secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) against flexneri and sonnei LPS in samples were developed; 15 random tested...
