| trends in antimicrobial susceptibility of gram-negative isolates from a paediatric intensive care unit in warsaw: results from the mystic programme (1997-2007). | the meropenem yearly susceptibility test information collection (mystic) programme is a longitudinal global surveillance study to monitor in vitro data on microbial susceptibility in centres that prescribe meropenem. this overview provides data on the susceptibility of gram-negative bacteria (n = 1300) isolated from clinical specimens of children hospitalized in a paediatric intensive care unit (icu) during 1997-2007. | 2008 | 18445575 |
| outbreak of pseudomonas aeruginosa infections with per-1 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase in warsaw, poland: further evidence for an international clonal complex. | forty-one pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (esbls) from a hospital in warsaw, poland, were analyzed. thirty-seven isolates from several wards were collected over 9 months in 2003 and 2004. the isolates were recovered from patients with multiple types of infections, mostly respiratory tract and postoperative wound infections. all 41 isolates produced the per-1 esbl, originally observed in turkey but recently also identified in several countries in europe and ... | 2007 | 17634312 |
| [metallo-beta-lactamase-producing gram-negative rods isolated from inpatients and outpatients, detected using etest mbl]. | the aim of presented study was to detect mbl-positive strains in a group of clinical carbapenem-resistant strains isolated from inpatients and outpatients during last four years. from the beginning of november 2001 to the end of october 2005, one hundred and four strains resistant to carbapenem antibiotics--imipenem and meropenem were cultured from clinical samples obtained from patients of the infant jesus clinical hospital centre for trauma treatment in warsaw and from patients of outpatient c ... | 2006 | 16871976 |
| bacteriological urinalysis in patients after renal transplantation. | the study consisted of microbiological urinalysis performed in 269 patients after renal transplantation who remained under medical care at the outpatient service of the transplantation institute in warsaw. the patients enrolled into the study had undergone renal transplantation 6 to 72 months before urine samples were collected. 304 urinalysis were performed. in the group of 269 patients, 42 individuals had bacteria in their urine what was confirmed in 47 urine cultures. cases of bacteriuria wer ... | 2005 | 16599304 |
| [the analysis of the isolated microorganisms from the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients treated in children's memorial health institute 1999-2002]. | the aim of the study was, to analyze the microorganisms cultured from materials from the airways of children with cystic fibrosis treated in the children's memorial health institute in warsaw during 1999-2002. a total of 411 samples were tested, obtained from the airways of 58 patients with diagnosed mucoviscidosis. the age of the treated patients was within the range of 1 month and 20 years. the bacteriological tests were taken during routine visits in the consultation and pulmonology clinic, w ... | 2005 | 16539183 |
| pseudomonas aeruginosa strains harbouring an unusual blavim-4 gene cassette isolated from hospitalized children in poland (1998-2001). | during 1997-2001, 151 isolates of imipenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa were obtained from clinical specimens taken from children hospitalized in warsaw, poland. these strains were investigated further to determine the mechanism of resistance. | 2004 | 14749341 |
| evolution of an integron carrying blavim-2 in eastern europe: report from the sentry antimicrobial surveillance program. | as part of the sentry antimicrobial surveillance program, an imipenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (81-11963a) was isolated from the blood culture of a female neonate institutionalized at the local children's hospital in warsaw, poland. cloning of an imipenem resistance determinant revealed it to be a vim-2 metallo-beta-lactamase, but sequence analysis of dna adjacent to blavim-2 revealed it to have a unique gene context. downstream of the blavim-2 gene resides an aaca4 gene encoding ... | 2003 | 12805257 |
| [the effect of water pipelines on the quality of drinking water]. | the purpose of the study was to assess the effects of various pipelines on drinking water quality. for the study carried out in warsaw buildings were chosen in which the installations were made of polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, copper and steel. water samples were taken from the sites of water leading to the buildings and from the highest floors, if possible. physicochemical studies included determination of turbidity, colour, odour, ph, hardness, chlorides, ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, oxid ... | 1997 | 9562810 |
| [polish preparations for preventing and treating infections caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa]. | three preparations, viz. sheep serum for local application ("sanoserum"), anti-pseudomonas sheep immunoglobulin for passive immunization ("immunoglobulin pseudomonas") and pseudomonas vaccine for active immunization ("pseudovac"), have been obtained at the central laboratory of sera and vaccines in warsaw, poland. the laboratory study and clinical trial of these preparations have been carried out. the preparations have proved to be effective as supplement to the conventional methods for the earl ... | 1985 | 2409720 |
