Recently, resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins due acquired beta-lactamases has been reported in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The aim of this study was investigate the prevalence Ambler class A and D their derivatives antimicrobial susceptibilities P. aeruginosa isolated from various parts Korea.A total 252 consecutive, non-duplicate isolates were studied for presence or beta-lactamase. Antibiotic susceptibility tests PCR amplification genes encoding (bla(PSE-1), bla(PER-1), bla(VEB-1),...

Context.— Infectious gastroenteritis is caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Objective.— To compare the performance of Seegene Allplex Gastrointestinal (24 targets: 13 5 6 parasites in 4 panels), Luminex xTAG Pathogen Panel (15 9 3 parasites), BD MAX Enteric panel (5 bacteria parasites). We estimated agreement among molecular assays. Design.— A total 858 stool samples (554 bacterial/parasite 304 viral pathogens) were included. consensus positive/negative...
individual with diabetes because the setpoint itself can (and often does) change over time.In summary, these data suggest that between-subject variation in GHb is minimal and therefore not a major consideration when used for routine clinical care.Assay quality, however, an important factor interpreting results (16 -18 ), imprecise assays may compromise utility of test.
Several factors contribute to differences in Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype distribution. We investigated the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of S. isolated between 2014 2016 Korea.We collected a total 1,855 isolates from 44 hospitals May 2016, analyzed serotypes by sequential multiplex PCR. each patient age, source clinical specimen, pattern.The most common were 11A (10.1%), followed 19A (8.8%), 3 (8.5%), 34 (8.1%), 23A (7.3%), 35B (6.2%). The major invasive (12.6%), (7.8%),...
Salmonella is one of the major causes food-borne infections. We investigated serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance isolates collected in Korea between January 2016 December 2017. In total, 669 were from clinical specimens at 19 university hospitals. Serotyping was performed according to Kauffmann-White scheme, susceptibility tested using Sensititre EUVSEC plates or disk diffusion. Among strains, C (39.8%) B (36.6%) most prevalent serogroups. 51 serotypes identified, common S....
The Gail model is one of the most widely used tools to assess risk breast cancer. However, it known overestimate cancer for Asian women. Here, we validate and Korean using data, subsequently update revalidate recent data.We validated modified (model 2), American model, a previous screening patient data collected between January 1999 July 2004. occurrence was confirmed by matching resident registration number with from Breast Cancer Registration Program. expected-to-observed (E/O) ratio...
We used a Vitek 2 AST-YS08 (YS08) system and the broth microdilution method (BMD) adopted by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) to compare susceptibility of 184 isolates 11 Candida species fluconazole, voriconazole, micafungin, caspofungin, amphotericin B, flucytosine. In albicans, categorical agreement (CA) was 79.2%, 91.7%, 95.8%, 95.8% for respectively. About 12.5% 4.2% very major errors were detected fluconazole C. glabrata showed excellent essential agreements (EAs) (>90%)...
We evaluated the performance of BD MAX StaphSR Assay (SR assay; BD, USA) for direct detection Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin resistance not only in S. but also coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS) from positive blood cultures.From 228 culture bottles, 103 [45 methicillin-resistant (MRSA), 55 methicillin-susceptible (MSSA), 3 mixed infections (1 MRSA+Enterococcus faecalis, 1 MSSA+MRCNS, MSSA+MSCNS)], 125 CNS (102 MRCNS, 23 MSCNS) were identified by Vitek 2. For further analysis, we...
Background We investigated the prevalence of various pathogens (13 enteric bacteria and 5 viruses) which cause diarrhea using multiplex PCR stool specimens compared two methods for detecting diarrheagenic Escherichia coli. Methods A total 405 submitted between November 2010 to February 2011 routine culture were included screened five viruses (astrovirus, Group rotavirus, adenovirus, norovirus G1/G2) eight (Salmonella spp., Shigella Campylobacter Vibrio C. difficile Toxin B, perfringens, Y....
Background/Aims The 13C-urea breath test (UBT) is a semiquantitative for measuring Helicobacter pylori infection loading. H. produces ammonia, which elevates the pH of gastric mucosa and detectable via endoscopy using phenol red indicator. We evaluated whether this could be used to diagnose staining was correlated with 13C-UBT results. Methods One hundred twenty-three patients participated. UBT performed after ingestion capsule containing urea. A change in >2‰ selected as cutoff value...
Krebs von den Lungen 6 (KL-6) is a sensitive marker for diagnosing, monitoring, and predicting the prognoses of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). This study aimed to evaluate performance Nanopia KL-6 assay (Sekisui Medical, Tokyo, Japan) test relationship between concentrations clinical results.In total, 230 patients diagnosed as having ILDs were enrolled. All underwent high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) followed by pulmonary function (PFT). We also enrolled 116 disease controls 200...
There is little data about the additive effects of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) on exercise stress test (EST) used for screening ischemic heart disease. The relationship between myocardial burden and change in IMA (DeltaIMA) during EST was investigated.EST performed using Bruce protocol to evaluate chest pain or exertional dyspnea 155 patients (men 89, 53+/-13 years). Blood samples were obtained before immediately after EST. According results pattern DeltaIMA, categorized into 3 groups...
Background: This study examines integrating physical and mental healthcare for disadvantaged persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus mild-to-moderate depression in the community, using a mobile application within public-private-academic partnership.Methods: The Korean Diabetes Association has developed combining behavioral activation psychological well-being self-management, conventional medical therapy. Participants were randomly assigned to receive usual care or only care. Primary outcomes...
