Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) can cause severe gastrointestinal disease and colonization among food handlers. In Japan, STEC infection is a notifiable disease, handlers are required to undergo routine stool examination for STEC. However, the molecular epidemiology of not entirely known. We investigated genomic characteristics from patients asymptomatic in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on 65 isolates obtained 38 27 by public health...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the leading cause of mortality in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because limited effective therapies. During infection, accumulation and activation macrophages monocytes lungs induce inflammatory mediators contribute to tissue injury, ARDS. However, therapeutic strategies that directly target activated macrophage have not been reported. Combination treatment etoposide (a cytotoxic agent) a corticosteroid has widely...
Abstract An outbreak of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae occurred at a children’s hospital in Japan. MBL-producing K. was detected tea dispenser the hospital, use which associated with acquisition Enterobacteriaceae. The ceased after banned.
Introduction. This is the first case report of septic abortion due to β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant (BLNAR) non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae infection. In Japan, BLNAR H. widespread and has become a clinical concern, especially in paediatrics otolaryngology, but not been previously recognized as causative agent obstetric or gynaecological Case presentation. A 31-year-old pregnant woman presented at 17 weeks 6 days gestation with high fever; she was admitted diagnosis...
Bacillus cereus commonly causes catheter-related bloodstream infections (BSIs) in hospital settings, and occasionally occurs fatal central nervous system (CNS) complications. B. harboring Ba813, a specific chromosomal marker of anthracis, has been found patients with severe infection nosocomial BSI. However, the bacteriological profile clinical feature Ba813 (+) are unclear. Fifty-three BSI were examined. Isolates evaluated for anthracis-related food poisoning-related virulence, multilocus...
Abstract Background The goals of the National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Japan include “implementing appropriate infection prevention and control” “appropriate use antimicrobials,” which are relevant to healthcare facilities. Specifically, linking efforts between existing control teams antimicrobial stewardship programs was suggested be important. Previous studies reported that human resources, such as full-time equivalents practitioners, were related improvements in...
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) causes serious gastrointestinal illness. Although O157 is predominant, non-O157 infections have been increasingly reported worldwide. We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate molecular characteristics and phylogeny of STEC isolates. A total 22 isolates from symptomatic patients (n = 13) asymptomatic carriers 9) in a Japanese region during 2016–2017 were used. Serogroups O157, O26 O103 5, 12, respectively). WGS was performed using an...
A 57-year-old male, who was nearly drowned by a tsunami following the East Japan Great Earthquake in March 2011, referred to vascular surgery team and infectious disease consultation of Tohoku University Hospital October 2014, for rapidly enlarging aneurysm abdominal aorta. The patient, previously healthy, developed pneumonia pulmonary abscess shortly after surviving tsunami. He became disoriented 3 months later, MRI showed brain abscess, drainage with ventriculoperitoneal shunt performed....
