The Challenge of Bacterial Infections During Intensive Care Unit Stay After Heart Transplantation

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Infections occurring in the early post–heart transplant (HT) period heavily contribute to morbidity and mortality. Our goal is to evaluate the incidence of hospital‐acquired pneumonia/ventilator‐associated pneumonia (HAP/VAPs) and/or bloodstream infections (BSIs) after HT during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay and identify their ...

Occurrence and Characterization of Enterotoxigenic Staphylococci Isolated from Soft Cheeses in Serbia

Acta Veterinaria, 2020
A total of 415 cheese samples produced with raw or cooked milk collected from local markets were analysed for the presence of coagulase-positive staphylococci. In 85 (20.48%) samples the presence of coagulase positive staphylococci was detected. The ELFA

Preliminary determination of bacterial contamination of whole blood units in a Ghanaian blood bank: Providing evidence to improve transfusion safety

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Transfusion‐associated bacterial sepsis poses a significant risk to patient safety. This study aimed to determine the rate of bacterial contamination of whole blood (WB) collected at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH) as a quality control and quality assurance activity. Materials and Methods One‐hundred and three

Utilization of horse plasma in coagulase test for Staphylococci isolated from raw milk/
Utilização de plasma de cavalo no teste de coagulase em Estafilococos isolados de leite cru

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2005
Staphylococci are frequently related to food poisoning outbreaks that are caused by their enterotoxins. The enterotoxins production is highly correlated to coagulase production, which one is detected in identification of pathogenic strains.

The Performance of the Australian–UK–Swiss Clinical Decision Rule for Febrile Neutropenia in Children and Young Adults With Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 72, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Febrile neutropenia (FN) episodes in sarcoma patients may be due to potentially life‐threatening microbiologically defined infection (MDI). Clinical decision rules (CDRs) such as the Australian–UK–Swiss (AUS) rule have been developed to risk‐stratify FN episodes, allowing for early discharge of patients at low risk of MDI. The AUS

Identification of Staphylococcus aureus: DNase and Mannitol salt agar improve the efficiency of the tube coagulase test

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2010
Background The ideal identification of Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates requires a battery of tests and this is costly in resource limited settings. In many developing countries, the tube coagulase test is usually confirmatory for S. aureus and is

Are SNPs Linked to Somatic Cell Score Suitable Markers for the Susceptibility to Specific Mastitis Pathogens in Holstein Cows?

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 142, Issue 3, Page 354-361, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Mastitis in cattle is often caused by microorganism infections in the udder. The three most common pathogens are esculin‐positive streptococci (SC+), coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CNS), and Escherichia coli (E. coli). In a previous study, 10 SNPs were associated with somatic cell score and mastitis in diverse Holstein populations.
