| variations in the expressed antimicrobial peptide repertoire of northern leopard frog (rana pipiens) populations suggest intraspecies differences in resistance to pathogens. | the northern leopard frog (rana pipiens or lithobates pipiens) is historically found in most of the provinces of canada and the northern and southwest states of the united states. in the last 50 years, populations have suffered significant losses, especially in the western regions of the species range. using a peptidomics approach, we show that the pattern of expressed antimicrobial skin peptides of frogs from three geographically separated populations are distinct, and we report the presence of ... | 2009 | 19622371 |
| central venous catheter infections in pediatric patients--in a community hospital. | we reviewed the records of 23 pediatric patients who had received at least one central venous catheter during a two-year period. nine patients had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all), nine had other hematologic/oncologic diagnoses, and five had cystic fibrosis. twenty-nine of 65 febrile episodes in 16 patients were associated with a catheter-related infection. twenty of 40 catheters were associated with an infection over a period of 7,229 catheter days. for every 1,000 catheter days, four episode ... | 1988 | 3163679 |
