The establishment and succession of bacterial communities in infants may have a profound impact their health, but information about the composition meconium microbiota its evolution hospitalized preterm is scarce. In this context, objective work was to characterize fecal samples obtained during first 3 weeks life from 14 donors using culture molecular techniques, including DGGE Human Intestinal Tract Chip (HITChip) analysis 16S rRNA amplicons. Culture techniques offer quantification...
Nosocomial sepsis is the main problem that preterms have to face during their stay at neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Serratia marcescens an emerging cause of preterm but its epidemiology still largely unknown. Consequently, aims this study were know rate colonized by S. NICU and characteristics evolution population, including susceptibility clinically relevant antibiotics. Twenty-six infants born with a gestational age ≤ 32 weeks and/or weigh ≤1500 g included in study. Samples...
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate potential colonization nosocomial bacteria in enteral feeding systems and its effect on early gut preterm neonates. Methods: Mother's own milk, donor formula samples obtained after passing through external part tubes were cultured. In addition, meconium fecal from 26 infants collected at different time points until discharge Random amplification polymorphism DNA pulse field gel electrophoresis performed confirm presence specific...
Klebsiella spp. is a relevant pathogen that can present acquired resistance to almost all available antibiotics, thus representing serious threat for public health. While most studies have been focused on isolates causing community-acquired and nosocomial infections, little known about the commensal colonizing healthy subjects. We describe molecular identification phenotypic characterization of from breast milk women faeces breast-fed infants, which were compared with infections NICU...
Background: Evoked otoacoustic emissions are one of the most widely employed techniques in assessing neonatal hearing. However, several factors may influence outcomes this test. One such factor is gender, as previous research has shown that females tend to exhibit a greater response than males. Aim: This study evaluates whether gender influences pass rate test hearing screening, using data from both general population and twin pairs. Methods: Data Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) program...
An abnormal colonization pattern of the preterm gut may affect immune maturation and exert a long-term influence on intestinal bacterial composition host health. However, follow-up studies assessing evolution fecal microbiota infants that were born are very scarce. In this work, compositions samples, obtained from sixteen 2-year-old evaluated using phylogenetic microarray; subsequently, results compared with those in previous study samples meconium feces collected same while they stayed...
Studies focused on the stomach microbiota are relatively scarce and, most of them adult population. The aim this work was to describe bacterial communities inhabiting gastric content preterm neonates. For that purpose, samples were collected weekly from a total 13 neonates during their first month life within hospital stay. Samples analyzed by using both culture-dependent and independent techniques. former allowed isolation bacteria belonging mainly genera Enterococcus, Staphylococcus,...
Staphylococcus epidermidis has emerged as the leading agent causing neonatal late-onset sepsis in preterm neonates; although severity of episodes caused by this species is often underestimated, it might exert relevant short- and long-term detrimental effects on outcomes. In context, objective study was to characterize a collection S. strains obtained from meconium feces infants, assess potential role enteral feeding tubes reservoirs for microorganism. A total 26 infants were enrolled study....
The overall aim of this study was to describe trends in participation rates and detection lesions a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programme, during three rounds, using faecal immunochemical test (FIT). National registers were used collect data on invitations for CRC the Basque Country (Spain) from 2009 2014. Information about participation, age, gender each round collected. A total 961.533 individuals included analysis; respectively, 584.950, 298.143 78.440 first, second third rounds....
Second-level hospitals face peculiarities that make it difficult to implement hearing rescreening protocols, which is also common in other settings. This study analyzes the process these kinds of hospitals. A total 1130 individuals were included; this cohort, 61.07% hospital newborns who failed their first otoacoustic emission test after birth (n = 679) or unable perform 11), and then referred an outpatient clinic. The remaining 38.93% born another with conducted clinic 440). high number...
