Impact of Prophylactic Cefepime on Surgical Site Infection and Severe Morbidity in Patients Who Underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy With Preoperative Biliary Drainage

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although prophylactic broad‐spectrum antibiotics can reduce postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), the optimal regimen remains uncertain. This study evaluated the impact of prophylactic cefepime (CFPM) on surgical site infection (SSI) and severe morbidity after PD with preoperative biliary drainage.

A degenerate PCR-based strategy as a means of identifying homologues of aminoglycoside and ß-lactam resistance genes in the gut microbiota [PDF]

, 2014
peer-reviewedBackground: The potential for the human gut microbiota to serve as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes has been the subject of recent discussion. However, this has yet to be investigated using a rapid PCR-based approach.

Immunization against fatal experimental Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1986
The ability of serospecific anti-capsular polysaccharide (CPS) antibody to prevent fatal Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia was evaluated in a rat lung model. Rats were immunized intramuscularly with 100 micrograms of purified serotype 2 CPS and challenged intrabronchially 14 days later with a serotype 2 strain of K. pneumoniae.

Argon Cold Plasma Modification of Polyethylene Films to Tailor Surface and Barrier Properties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Argon cold plasma treatment of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) films induces major changes in surface chemistry and morphology. Contact angles decrease significantly while surface energy increases, improving wettability. FTIR confirms the formation of polar functional groups, while pronounced etching, roughness, and

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Multi-drug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Detection of Carbapenem-resistance Genes [PDF]

Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University, 2020
Background: Resistance to carbapenem is increasing over the years, which comes as one of the therapy of last resort therapy for critically ill patients. The current scenario is such that the antibiotics in hand are few for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella

The methionine salvage pathway in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

, 2002
BACKGROUND: Polyamine synthesis produces methylthioadenosine, which has to be disposed of. The cell recycles it into methionine through methylthioribose (MTR). Very little was known about MTR recycling for methionine salvage in Bacillus subtilis. RESULTS:

Engineering of 2‐ketoacid Decarboxylases for Production of Isobutanol and Other Fusel Alcohols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2‐ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2‐ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde.
