A prospective population-based study was carried out to determine predictive factors associated with penicillin-resistant pneumococcal invasive disease. total of 374 patients (250 males and 124 females; mean age, 50.3 ± 27 years) infection were admitted one the five hospitals in El Vallés County (an industrial area 800,000 inhabitants province Barcelona, Spain) over a period 5 years. Of episodes, 21 (5.6%) due highly pneumococci 67 (17.9%) intermediately pneumococci. Multivariate analysis...
Neisseria meningitidis strains relatively resistant to penicillin were recovered from blood or cerebrospinal fluid cultures of four children treated in Barcelona, Spain, and surrounding areas. The had distinct serogroup-ing serotyping patterns. minimal inhibitory concentrations 0.25 μg/ ml for three 0.5 /μg/ml the fourth strain. These are first penicillin-resistant meningococcal identified Spain.
Short-term colonic in vitro batch incubations were performed to elucidate the possible synergistic effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (CNCM-I-4798) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii (CNCM-I-1079) (associated Smebiocta/Smectaflora Protect®) on microbial fermentation process, as well their antipathogenic activity against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (LMG2092) (ETEC). These adequately simulate native microbiota environmental conditions proximal colon both adult toddler donors,...
Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis of the microbial community has been associated with several gastrointestinal symptoms. The impact repeated administration Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (CNCM-I-4798) (formerly known as Lactobacillus GG), Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii (CNCM-I-1079) and their combination (associated in Smebiocta/Smectaflora Protect®) supporting recovery gut microbiota functionality composition during following amoxicillin:clavulanic acid was evaluated vitro . Antibiotic...
To describe the prevalence and risk factors for infection due to AmpC β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (AmpC-EC). For study, all clinical isolates of E. with reduced susceptibility third-generation cephalosporins were prospectively included from June 2010 November 2011. factor analysis, a case–control study was conducted. Cases patients an AmpC-EC. Controls infected cephalosporin-susceptible coli, matched 1 : 2. Detection blaAmpC genes done multiplex AmpC–PCR, hyperproduction...
Abstract10/84 strains (11.9%) of Neisseria meningitidis isolated from blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid in children 1986–1987 had reduced sensitivity to benzylpenicillin (MICs 0.1–0.4 mg/1). Group C meningococci predominated among these strains. The clinical course was satisfactory all cases regardless the antibiotic treatment used, although time abatement fever prolonged compared that infected with susceptible
An unusually prolonged outbreak of typhoid fever, from 1988 to 1994, in Terrassa (Barcelona, Spain), was caused by a casual food handler who carrier. The pattern this suggested intermittent low-level exposure Salmonella typhi. We found 70 patients with S. typhi infections, 52 whom were available for study. Medical records reviewed and interviewed use standard questionnaire. Phage typing pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) strain subtyping used confirm the epidemiological data. 27 strains...
BACKGROUND--Transthoracic needle aspiration (TNA) with an ultrathin is a safe and highly specific procedure for obtaining diagnosis in bacterial pneumonias, but its sensitivity at best 70%. A study was performed to assess whether Streptococcus pneumoniae Haemophilus influenzae type b antigen detection by latex agglutination from the TNA sample enhanced diagnostic yield. METHODS--Blood cultures, (culture, Gram stain, agglutination), serological tests, pneumococcal urine...
