analysis of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in clinical isolates of the tribe proteeae from argentina: first report of qnrd in the americas.to analyse the occurrence and prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (pmqr) genes in the tribe proteeae, 81 isolates (65 proteus spp., 12 morganella morganii and 4 providencia stuartii) consecutively collected in 66 hospitals belonging to the whonet-argentina resistance surveillance network were studied. of the 81 isolates, 50 (62%) were susceptible to quinolones [43/65 (66%) proteus spp. and 7/12 (58%) m. morganii). the remaining 31 isolates (22 proteus spp., 5 m. morganii and all ...201427873695
mobile insertion cassette elements found in small non-transmissible plasmids in proteeae may explain qnrd mobilization.qnrd is a plasmid mediated quinolone resistance gene from unknown origin, recently described in enterobacteriaceae. it encodes a pentapeptide repeat protein 36-60% different from the other qnr (a, b, c, s and vc). since most qnrd-positive strains were described as strains belonging to proteus or providencia genera, we hypothesized that qnrd originated in proteeae before disseminating to other enterobacterial species. we screened 317 strains of proteeae for qnrd and its genetic support by pcr. fo ...201424504382
bacterial isolates associated with pelvic inflammatory disease among female patients attending some hospitals in abuja, nigeria.pelvic inflammatory disease refers to any infection in the female lower reproductive tract that spreads to the upper reproductive tract. the disease comprises a spectrum of inflammatory disorders of the upper female genital tract, including any combination of endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess and pelvic peritonitis. pid is not a notifiable disease in most countries, so accurate statistics are not available. this situation is not in any way different here in nigeria and more so in t ...201424653811
strain diversity of ctx-m-producing enterobacteriaceae in individual pigs: insights into the dynamics of shedding during the production cycle.the aim of this study was to evaluate the population dynamics of ctx-m-producing enterobacteriaceae in individual pigs on a farm positive for ctx-m-14-producing escherichia coli. fecal samples were collected once around the farrowing time from five sows and four times along the production cycle from two of their respective offspring. multiple colonies per sample were isolated on cefotaxime-supplemented macconkey agar with or without prior enrichment, resulting in 98 isolates identified by matrix ...201425128344
genotype and diet shape resistance and tolerance across distinct phases of bacterial infection.host defense against pathogenic infection is composed of resistance and tolerance. resistance is the ability of the host to limit a pathogen burden, whereas tolerance is the ability to limit the deleterious effects of a given pathogen burden. this distinction recognizes that the fittest host does not necessarily have the most aggressive immune system, suggesting that host-pathogen co-evolution involves more than an escalating arms race between pathogen virulence factors and host antimicrobial ac ...201424655914
