The pneumococcal response to oxidative stress includes a role for Rgg. [PDF]

, 2009
Streptococcus pneumoniae resides in the oxygen-rich environment of the upper respiratory tract, and therefore the ability to survive in the presence of oxygen is an important aspect of its in vivo survival. To investigate how S.

Multifunctional PVC/PVA‐ZnO Nanocomposites: Bridging Dielectric Response and Antibacterial Activity for Active Packaging Applications

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
PVC and PVA polymer blends are studied as a function of frequency at room temperature to find the composition that gives the AC conductivity. The blend that has 75% PVC and 25% PVA is chosen as the matrix. Then 10% ZnO nanoparticles are added for food packaging. The change, in conductivity is used as a sign of activity and food freshness. ABSTRACT This

Function and mechanism of miRNAs during the process of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection

Biomolecules & Biomedicine
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), a Gram-negative bacterium, is a major cause of nosocomial infections and can lead to severe, widespread infections. The rise of hypervirulent and multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae presents significant challenges to

Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae–bacteriophage combination from the caecal effluent of a healthy woman [PDF]

, 2015
A sample of caecal effluent was obtained from a female patient who had undergone a routine colonoscopic examination. Bacteria were isolated anaerobically from the sample, and screened against the remaining filtered caecal effluent in an attempt to ...

Identification of an immuno-dominant protein from Klebsiella pneumoniae strains causing pyogenic liver abscess: implication in serodiagnosis

, 2017
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged worldwide as a cause of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) often complicated by meningitis and endophthalmitis. Early detection of this infectious disease will improve its clinical outcome.

Cefepime exposure in prolonged or intermittent infusion in critically ill children

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Cefepime is commonly used in critically ill children for whom there is a high between‐subject variability. To reach the therapeutic pharmacokinetic (PK) target in critically ill patients, prolonged infusion of beta‐lactams seems to be the most efficient.

Ceftriaxone‐associated immune haemolytic anaemia: A patient‐level systematic review

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ceftriaxone can cause acute haemolysis. Its clinical presentation, risk factors, and outcomes remain incompletely characterized. We conducted a systematic review of published cases with patient‐level data, following international guidelines and with registration in PROSPERO (CRD420261338709). Reports were identified through three bibliographic
