Arthritis is defined as inflammation of the joint, Patients have symptoms of joint pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, warmth and decreased range of motion of the affected joints. Arthritis may be caused by transient synovitis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis ( JIA), reactive arthritis, viral
Group B Streptococcus (GBS), is a facultative gram positive diplococcus originally known for causing bovine mastitis and was not demonstrated to be a human pathogen until 1938 (1). In the 1970s, GBS emerged as the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with a frequency of 2-3 cases per
Main Objectives:
1. Conceiving the clinical relevance of carbapenem hetero-resistance phenomenon among Klebsiella pneumoniae strains.
2. Identification of molecular resistance mechanisms causing carbapenem hetero-resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae strains
3. Identification of accuracy of
1. Main Objectives:
1. Building a risk score model and decision tree algorithm with an acceptable certainty for early prediction of BSI or other invasive infections caused by CRKp in CRKp carriers.
2. Comparison of risk score model and decision tree algorithm in terms of sensitivity and specificity
INTRODUCTION Pneumonia in the intensive care unit (ICU) constitutes the most frequent infection and is most often associated with the application of the mechanical ventilation. VAP (Ventilator - Associated Pneumonia) is defined as the nosocomial pneumonia in a patient on mechanical ventilatory
1. Background In the case of acute cholecystitis, in which acute inflammation was manifested in patients with gallstones and was accompanied by pain and fever, cholecystectomy through surgery was the standard treatment, and the use of empirical antibiotics to treat inflammation and prevent
SAFO trial is a multicentre, superiority, open-label, randomized, phase IV-III, two-armed parallel (1:1) groups clinical trial comparing combination treatment with fosfomycin and cloxacillin with standard therapy with cloxacillin in adult patients with MSSA bacteraemia.
Patients will be randomized
The pathogenesis of bacteraemia for human restricted pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (ST), have thus far only been investigated in imperfect animal models. The Salmonella Typhimurium mouse model is widely employed
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is a minimally invasive treatment commonly used for renal calculi. However, the prevalence of postoperative fever is reported to be 16.7%-35%, even with appropriate prophylactic antibiotic therapy and a sterile urine culture. The most probable causes are urinary
Infective endocarditis is usually suspected in a patient with fever and a new or changing cardiac murmur and is diagnosed based on the presence of a vegetation on echocardiography and positive blood cultures. Diagnosis of endocarditis is usually easy in febrile patients with a continuous bacteremia
Specific Objectives:
To evaluate the microbiome response to probiotic supplementation (with and without prebiotics) in under 6 months infants with severe acute malnutrition and to compare the microbiome response with healthy infants supplemented with probiotic.
Research Design and Methods:
Study
Background and rationale:
Resistance to penicillin was discovered in Staphylococcus aureus in the mid-1940s, soon after the introduction of penicillin as a therapeutic agent into clinical practice. The emergence of penicillin resistant S. aureus (PRSA) was widely encountered in hospitals thereafter,
1.1. Introduction.
Multidrug resistance towards gram-negative pathogens has been increasing dramatically over the last decades. Due to insufficient discovery of drugs acting on novel targets, re-examination of older compounds, such as temocillin, for which resistance is still low, has proven to be
The study will enroll adult patients suffering from acute leukemia candidate to intensive chemotherapy or patients with hematological cancers candidate to allogeneic transplant with a documented colonization or previous bloodstream infection sustained by Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or
