Detecting Antibiotic Resistance in Strains of Selected Gram‐Negative Bacterial Species Using Raman Spectroscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy successfully identified antibiotic‐resistant Gram‐negative strains. Resistant strains of four bacterial species were discriminated from sensitive ones with 99.1% accuracy using PLS regression. The method allows for rapid, label‐free detection of antibiotic resistance.

Comparing Disk Diffusion and E-Test Methods in Reviewing Methicillin-Resistance in Staphylococcus Epidermidis Isolated from Clinical Speci-mens

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2012
Background: In recent years, antibiotic resistance of staphylococcus epidermidis toward methicillin has been a significant increase. Therefore, reviewing methicillin-resistance is necessary and crucial in determining an appropriate therapeutic pattern ...

Synovial interleukin‐6 point‐of‐care testing, alone and combined with D‐dimer, supports rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...

Mining the Methylome Reveals Extensive Diversity in Staphylococcus epidermidis Restriction Modification

mBio, 2019
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a significant opportunistic pathogen of humans. Molecular studies in this species have been hampered by the presence of restriction-modification (RM) systems that limit introduction of foreign DNA.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Keratinocyte Priming by Staphylococcus aureus Reduces HSV‐1 Susceptibility

Allergy, EarlyView.
ADEH+ patients have a reduced microbial diversity with increased S. aureus and S. epidermidis colonization compared to ADEH− and healthy controls. Heat‐killed S. aureus reduced HSV‐1 susceptibility and release of infectious progeny virus in a keratinocyte in vitro model. Heat‐killed S.
