Characteristics of Meropenem Heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC)-Producing Clinical Isolates of K. pneumoniae [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010
ABSTRACT Meropenem heteroresistance was investigated in six apparently meropenem-susceptible, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) clinical isolates, compared with that in carbapenemase-negative, meropenem-susceptible controls.

Mycoplasma Pneumoniae infections in the Maltese Islands [PDF]

, 2000
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a free living micro-organism which is classified in the family Mycoplasmataceae. It is primarily a human respiratory pathogen and the infection may vary from a mild pharyngitis to a pneumonia. M. pneumoniae infections are usually

Interspecies Biofilm Dynamics Among Staphylococci: Inflammatory Contributions to Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Staphylococcus species are frequently isolated from the sinonasal niche of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. While Staphylococcus aureus is often associated with recalcitrant CRS, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus lugdunensis are largely deemed commensal.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Human Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Reveals Misidentification and Misunderstandings of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella variicola, and Klebsiella quasipneumoniae

mSphere, 2017
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major threat to public health, causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The emergence of highly drug-resistant strains is particularly concerning. There has been a recognition and division of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Serum amyloid P aids complement-mediated immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

, 2007
The physiological functions of the acute phase protein serum amyloid P (SAP) component are not well defined, although they are likely to be important, as no natural state of SAP deficiency has been reported.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Mobile genetic elements encoding antibiotic resistance genes and virulence genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae: important pathways for the acquisition of virulence and resistance

Frontiers in Microbiology
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen primarily associated with nosocomial infections, characterized by a propensity for multi-drug resistance and the potential evolution into hypervirulent strains.

Epidemiologia molecolare di Klebsiella pneumoniae produttore di beta-lattamasi ad ampio spettro (ESBL) circolante in una Terapia Intensiva Neonatale

, 2006
The molecular epidemiology of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was investigated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a university hospital in Italy from September 2002 to December 2004, when 233 ...
