Effects of Oral Oxytetracycline-Therapy on Wound Progression and Healing Following Aeromonas caviae Infection in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L)

Abstract The effects of oral oxytetracycline (OTC)-therapy against Aeromonas caviae infection as well as the wound progression and healing in intramuscular (IM) and abrasion-immersion (AI) challenged Nile tilapia juveniles were evaluated. The IM challenge caused significantly (p < 0.05) high mortaliti...

Insulin favors acute inflammatory reaction in alloxan-diabetic tilapia during infectious aerocystitis

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (12), 2018
In vertebrates, the inflammatory reaction is responsible for modulating the initial nonspecific defense until specific immunity is acquired. In this context, numerous studies in mammals have demonstrated the participation of insulin in the inflammatory response, favoring cell proliferation and the migrat...

Ralstonia mannitolilytica bacteremia in a neonatal intensive care unit

Abstract Ralstonia mannitolilytica, a Gram-negative bacterium, is rarely isolated in clinical laboratories. It has been associated with outbreaks due to its ability to survive in liquid media and hospital devices. We describe three cases of bacteremia caused by R. mannitolilytica in a neonatal intensive ...

Serological evidence of exposure to some zoonotic microorganisms in cattle and humans with occupational exposure to livestock in Antioquia, Colombia

Bacteria belonging to Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Rickettsia and Coxiella genera are considered emerging pathogens and livestock is one of the contexts where the transmission of these microorganisms can occur. The goal of this study was to determine serological evidence for the exposure to these bacteria in ca...

Inadequate use of antibiotics and increase in neonatal sepsis caused by resistant bacteria related to health care assistance: a systematic review

Braz. j. infect. dis; 22 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Background Technologies and life support management have enhanced the survival of preterm infants. The immune system of newborns is immature, which contributes to the occurrence of healthcare-associated infections. The overlap of several conditions with neonatal sepsis and the difficulty of dia...

Infecciones intrahospitalarias en una unidad de cuidados intensivos: epidemiología y tratamiento empírico
Nosocomial infections at the ICU: Epidemilogy and empirical treatment

Prensa méd. argent; 104 (5), 2018
Hon en día entre el 5-10% de los pacientes que ingresan a un hospital adquiere una infección nosocomial, 20% de estas son reportadas en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. La incidencia es 2 a 5 veces más alta que en otros servicios hospitalarios. Objetivos: Describir la epidemiología de los patógenos...

A practical molecular identification of nonfermenting Gram-negative bacteria from cystic fibrosis

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (2), 2018
Abstract Identification of nonfermenting Gram-negative bacteria (NFGNB) of cystic fibrosis patients is hard and misidentification could affect clinical outcome. This study aimed to propose a scheme using polymerase chain reaction to identify NFGNB. This scheme leads to reliable identification within 3 da...

Bacteriemia fatal como complicación de absceso hepático por Achromobacter xylosoxidans: presentación como una complicación en paciente con diabetes mellitus y cirrosis hepática

Molecular characterization and expression analysis of cathepsin C in Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) after Aeromonas hydrophila infection

Background: Cathepsin C (CTSC) (dipeptidyl peptidase I, DPPI), is a member of the papain superfamily of cysteine proteases and involves in a variety of host reactions. However, the information of CTST in Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus), an amphibian species with important evolutionary posit...
