| carbapenem susceptibilities and non-susceptibility concordance to different carbapenems amongst clinically important gram-negative bacteria isolated from intensive care units in taiwan: results from the surveillance of multicentre antimicrobial resistance in taiwan (smart) in 2009. | to investigate the in vitro susceptibilities to various carbapenems amongst clinical gram-negative bacteria isolated from patients in intensive care units of ten major teaching hospitals in taiwan in 2009, a survey was conducted to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics) of ertapenem, imipenem, meropenem and doripenem against isolates of enterobacteriaceae (n = 594), pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 185), acinetobacter baumannii (n = 192) and burkholderia cepacia (n = 23) using the aga ... | 2013 | 23507415 |
| oral flora of python regius kept as pets. | this study was aimed at evaluating the oral bacterial flora of 60 python regius kept as pets by culture and biochemical methods. all isolates were also submitted to antimicrobial susceptibility testing using the disc diffusion method. the oral cavity of snakes sampled harboured a wide range of gram-negative bacteria mainly constituted by pseudomonas spp., morganella morganii, acinetobacter calcoaceticus, aeromonas hydrophila, but also by salmonella spp. staphylococcus spp. was the commonest gram ... | 2014 | 24383854 |
| evidence of antibacterial activities in peptide fractions originating from snow crab (chionoecetes opilio) by-products. | antibacterial peptide fractions generated via proteolytic processing of snow crab by-products exhibited activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. among the bacterial strains tested, peptide fractions demonstrated inhibitory activity against the gram-negative bacteria such as aeromonas caviae, aeromonas hydrophila, campylobacter jejuni, listonella anguillarum, morganella morganii, shewanella putrefasciens, vibrio parahaemolyticus and vibrio vulnificus and against a few gram-posit ... | 2010 | 26781242 |
| bacteriology of naja atra snakebite wound and its implications for antibiotic therapy. | a total of 112 cases of naja atra envenomation were examined at two referring hospitals: taichung veterans general hospital in central taiwan and taipei veterans general hospital (vgh-tp) in northern taiwan. overall, 77% (86/112) of cases developed clinically suspected wound infections and 54% (61/112) required surgery secondary to tissue necrosis, finger or toe gangrene, and/or necrotizing fasciitis. morganella morganii was the most abundant gram-negative bacterial strain isolated from bite wou ... | 2016 | 26976881 |
| necrotizing soft tissue infection following a peripheral bypass. | necrotizing soft tissue infection (nsti), formerly referred to as necrotizing fasciitis, is a rare but serious postoperative complication. nsti following arterial bypass is seen only once in the literature (for a coronary artery bypass) and is not mentioned following peripheral bypass. although surgical site infections have been studied extensively, there are limited published data on postoperative nsti and no data for nsti following peripheral arterial bypass. | 2015 | 25733218 |
| characterization of the digestive tract microbiota of hirudo orientalis (medicinal leech) and antibiotic resistance profile. | there are at least three distinct european leech species used medicinally: hirudo medicinalis, h. orientalis, and h. verbana. infection caused by leech microbiota is the most widely reported complication. few studies have reported the culturable and unculturable bacteria and examined the antibiotic resistances in h. orientalis. | 2014 | 24572887 |
