Perioperative Piperacillin/Tazobactam Reduces Early Onset SSI in Preirradiated Patients Undergoing Microvascular Head and Neck Reconstruction

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Preirradiated patients undergoing microvascular head and neck reconstruction for tumor recurrence or osteoradionecrosis (ORN) face surgical site infection (SSI) rates exceeding 30%. The impact of perioperative extended‐spectrum antibiotic coverage remains unclear. This study hypothesizes that calculated prophylaxis with piperacillin/

Development of a nucleic acid lateral flow immunoassay for simultaneous detection of Listeria spp. and Listeriamonocytogenes in food [PDF]

, 2009
We present a new nucleic acid lateral flow immunoassay (NALFIA) for the assessment of listeria contamination. The detection procedure starts with enrichment of sample in Half Fraser broth (24 h). Following isolation of DNA, a duplex PCR is performed with

Gut microbiome‐derived metabolites show promise in cancer research and therapy

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
The metabolites produced by the gut microbiome, which are subject to regulation by multiple factors, play a pivotal role in the progression of various types of cancer. These metabolites not only function as potential biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of tumor development, but also actively participate in cancer therapeutic processes ...

Impact of COVID‐19 Pandemic on Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Common Bacterial Pathogens to Antibiotics in Northern Ghana

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This retrospective study analyzed and compared antimicrobial resistance patterns of common bacterial pathogens before (October 2018–March 2020) and during (April 2020–December 2022) the COVID‐19 pandemic in Ghana's Northern Region. Amoxiclav (p = 0.027), ceftazidime (p = 0.002), ciprofloxacin (p = 0.001), gentamycin (p = 0.035), and meropenem (p < 0 ...
