| insights into a novel blakpc-2-encoding incp-6 plasmid reveal carbapenem-resistance circulation in several enterobacteriaceae species from wastewater and a hospital source in spain. | untreated wastewater, particularly from hospitals and other healthcare facilities, is considered to be a reservoir for multidrug-resistant bacteria. however, its role in the spread of antibiotic resistances in the human population remains poorly investigated. we used whole genome sequencing to analyze 25 kpc-2-producing enterobacteriaceae isolates from sewage water collected during a 3-year period and three clinical citrobacter freundii isolates from a tertiary hospital in the same collection ar ... | 2017 | 28702005 |
| introduction of sample tubes with sodium azide as a preservative for ethyl glucuronide in urine. | ethyl glucuronide (etg) is a direct alcohol marker, which is widely used for clinical and forensic applications, mainly for abstinence control. however, the instability of etg in urine against bacterial degradation or the post-collectional synthesis of etg in contaminated samples may cause false interpretation of etg results in urine samples. this study evaluates the potential of sodium azide in tubes used for urine collection to hinder degradation of ethyl glucuronide by bacterial metabolism ta ... | 2017 | 28712037 |
