Severity of Pneumococcal Pneumonia Associated With Genomic Bacterial Load

Chest, 2009
There is a clinical need for more objective methods of identifying patients at risk for septic shock and poorer outcomes among those with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). As viral load is useful in viral infections, we hypothesized that bacterial load may be associated with outcomes in patients with pneumococcal pneumonia.Quantification of ...

Mapping Fusogenicity of Ciprofloxacin-Loaded Liposomes with Bacterial Cells

AAPS PharmSciTech, 2019
The process of liposome fusion with cellular membrane plays key role in delivering encapsulated drug molecule into the cell. This process becomes very important for molecules having low permeability as they fail to reach the site of action located inside the cell. Ciprofloxacin (CIP), a broad-spectrum BCS class IV antibiotic, has poor permeability.

Magnetic manipulation of bacterial magnetic nanoparticle-loaded neurospheres

Integrative Biology, 2014
Specific targeting of cells to sites of tissue damage and delivery of high numbers of transplanted cells to lesion tissue in vivo are critical parameters for the success of cell-based therapies. Here, we report a promising in vitro model system for studying the homing of transplanted cells, which may eventually be applicable for targeted regeneration ...

Structural basis for substrate loading in bacterial RNA polymerase

Nature, 2007
The mechanism of substrate loading in multisubunit RNA polymerase is crucial for understanding the general principles of transcription yet remains hotly debated. Here we report the 3.0-A resolution structures of the Thermus thermophilus elongation complex (EC) with a non-hydrolysable substrate analogue, adenosine-5'-[(alpha,beta)-methyleno ...

Contaminated wounds: Effectiveness of debridement for reducing bacterial load

Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2016
Surgical management of contaminated hand wounds may seem anecdotal, but such injuries actually account for an appreciable amount of the activity in emergency hand centers, and recommendations put forward by scientific societies differ. Dealing effectively with this public health issue calls for clarifying the usefulness of the various available ...

[Hospital load of bacterial intestinal infections].

Minerva gastroenterologica e dietologica, 2006
Infectious diarrhea is a worldwide problem, with differences from country to country, and it is an important cause of infant morbidity and mortality in the underdeveloped countries.The present study is a retrospective assessment on bacterial intestinal infections, referring to a hospital survey during the 1995-1996 period.

BACTERIAL ADHESION ON ANTIBIOTIC-LOADED POLYMETHYLMETHACRYLATE BONE CEMENT

2009
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement, commonly used for the fixation of joint prostheses and also for orthopaedic devices, may be colonised by Gram positive cocci. The use of antibiotic-loaded PMMA should prevent bacterial colonisation of cement surfaces.

COLORIMETRIC METHOD FOR BACTERIAL LOAD DETECTION

2007
A method for the detection of bacterial load comprising the phases of adding a sample to be analysed to an analysis reagent in a suitable reaction container (12) appropriately sterilised, thermos tatting the reaction container at a temperature of between 25 and 450C, and verifying the change in colouring of the analysis reagent. The analysis reagent is
