resistance to third generation cephalosporins: the current situation.newer beta-lactam antibiotics, notably the third generation cephalosporins (3 gc) have been designed for providing high intrinsic potency against a large variety of microorganisms. bacterial resistance can occur however, and nowadays, clinicians are concerned by novel situations where even most recently developed compounds can be ineffective. a first situation is generated by bacteria which produce great amounts of chromosomal cephalosporinase. the resistance emerges during therapy, in hospital ...20092689351
total gastrectomy and oesophagojejunostomy with linear stapling devices.when performing total gastrectomy and oesophagojejunostomy with a circular stapling device two disadvantages are obvious; firstly, a purse-string suture is needed, and secondly the instrument can be extremely difficult to introduce if the oesophagus is narrow, so that the risk of rupture is substantial. we therefore developed the following technique. when the specimen is attached only to the oesophagus, and the roux-en-y loop has already been divided with a linear stapling device, a small incisi ...20092804585
delineation of the species haemophilus influenzae by phenotype, multilocus sequence phylogeny, and detection of marker genes.to obtain more information on the much-debated definition of prokaryotic species, we investigated the borders of haemophilus influenzae by comparative analysis of h. influenzae reference strains with closely related bacteria including strains assigned to haemophilus haemolyticus, cryptic genospecies biotype iv, and the never formally validated species "haemophilus intermedius". multilocus sequence phylogeny based on six housekeeping genes separated a cluster encompassing the type and the referen ...200919060144
structural basis of heme binding in the cu,zn superoxide dismutase from haemophilus ducreyi.the cu,zn superoxide dismutase from haemophilus ducreyi is characterized by the unique ability to bind heme at its dimer interface. here we report the high-resolution crystal structures of this protein in the heme-loaded (holo) and heme-free (apo) forms. heme is asymmetrically bound between the two enzyme subunits, where heme iron is coordinated by two histidine residues, his64 and his 124, provided by the two subunits. moreover, the binding of heme to the protein is ensured by stabilizing conta ...200919103206
