This study examined the fecal samples of striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius coreae) captured in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province.Fecal samples, including colon and other intestinal organs, were collected subjected to aerobic culture investigate distribution microorganisms.Gram staining cultured bacterial colonies from 36 revealed predominant presence gram-negative bacilli all samples.Among identified strains (100%), gram-positive cocci 21 (58.3%), 15 (41.7%), while no observed.The...
Mycobacterium (M.) bovis, a bacterium in the M. tuberculosis complex, is causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, contagious disease animals.Mycobacterial culture gold standard for diagnosing but this technique laborious and time-consuming.In present study, performance SD Bioline TB Ag MPT4 Rapid test, an immunochromatographic assay, was evaluated using reference bacterial strains bovis field isolates collected from animals.The MPT64 test produced positive results 95.5% (63/66) cattle 97.9%...
The present study aimed to survey the prevalence of chigger mites and Orientia tsutsugamushi (O. tsutsugamushi) infection in northern regions Gangwon-do, Korea. From early February June 2015, a total 17,050 chiggers were collected from striped field mice, Apodemus agrarius, Cheorwon-gun, Hwacheon-gun, Yanggu-gun, Goseong-gun, which are well-known endemic areas scrub typhus analyzed using molecular genomic methods, as previously described. Among 7,964 identified chiggers, predominant species...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem, and accurate rapid diagnosis of multidrug-resistant (MDR) extended drug-resistant (XDR) TB important for appropriate treatment. In this study, performances solid liquid culture methods were compared with respect to MDR- XDR-TB isolate recovery drug susceptibility testing. Sputum specimens from 304 patients stained Ziehl-Neelsen method. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) isolates tested on Löwenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium the BacT Alert 3D system. For...
Objective The Intular Scope™ (Medical Park, South Korea) (IS) is a video-lighted stylet that can be used for endotracheal intubation with excellent visualization by adding camera to its end. We compared the efficacy of direct laryngoscope (DL) IS based on hemodynamic changes, ease intubation, and postoperative airway morbidities. Methods Seventy patients expected normal airways were randomized using an (n = 35) or DL 35). primary outcome was mean arterial pressure during intubation....
Tick-borne diseases are a public health problem and significant burden on the livestock industry. The seasonal abundance of ticks tick-borne pathogens strongly correlates with prevalence these diseases. To investigate variation in pathogens, were collected from Gangwon State, Korea, Borrelia, Anaplasma, Babesia, Theileria examined. In total, 14,748 collected, comprising two genera three species: Haemaphysalis longicornis, flava, Ixodes nipponensis, H. longicornis being predominant species....
Mycobacterium (M.) bovis causes tuberculosis and has a broad host range, including humans, livestock, wild animals.M. infection of boar been reported in several European countries.We report here the first case M. domesticated sow Korea.Granulomatous necrotizing lesions with small numbers acid-fast bacilli were observed nodules lung sow.Furthermore, isolate from had spoligotype SB0140 novel MIRU-VNTR allelic profile, which is not found cattle deer Korea.
While a healthcare center changed screening test for detecting Chlamydia infections on late March 2017, the centerreported sudden increased positive (TP, %) in first half of this year. The aim was to evaluate association betweenthis soar TP and change. To confirm effect change, data limited mandatory screenees ofthe nationwide health program managing sexually transmitted diseases with females aged over 20 years old halfof TPs their confidence intervals (CI) before (January March) after...
