This book was released on 2006 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CHEF results indicated the one of the isolates from RPH was UK EMRSA-15 and the others were previously identified WA CMRSA. The Hong Kong isolates did not have UK EMRSA-15 CHEF patterns aid this could indicate that there are CMRSA in Hong Kong. The results of bacteriophage typing were similar to those reported by many other workers. The majority of isolates were not susceptible to the International Bacteriophage Set (IBS). Many more were typable with the International MRSA Set (IMS). However, overall phage typing was not found to be very discriminatory and the results did not correspond well with the CHEF patterns. Fifty CHEF patterns were identified. Some general correlations could be made. CHEF pattern 7 predominated in Hong Kong whereas CHEF pattern 8 predominated in Singapore and pattern 1 predominated in Australia. Although patterns 7 and 8 also predominated in the Taiwanese isolates six other patterns were found amongst them. It is interesting that patterns 7 and 8 were also found in the Chinese isolates. The finding of pattern 7 and 8 in what are predominantly Chinese communities probably not surprising. The Japanese isolates had 16 different CHEF patterns. Two patterns, 17 and 23, were the most prevalent and except for two isolates with pattern 28 (Taiwan), and one isolate with pattern 34 (Hong Kong), they did not share their patterns with any other country. Although pattern 1 predominated in Australian isolates there were many other patterns, including patterns 7 and 8 which were found in Hong Kong and Singapore isolates, respectively.
Download or read book Frontiers in Staphylococcus aureus written by Shymaa Enany and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Staphylococcus was first recognized as a human pathogen in 1880 and was named for its grape cluster-like appearance. In 1884, Staphylococcus aureus was identified and named for its vibrant golden color, which was later found to be the result of golden toxin production. Here, experts examine in-depth patterns of S. aureus colonization and exposures in humans, mammals, and birds that have led to the development of various clinical diseases. The mode of transmission of S. aureus and different methods for its detection in different samples are defined. Conventional antibiotic options to treat this aggressive, multifaceted, and readily adaptable pathogen are becoming limited. Alternative, novel chemotherapeutics to target S. aureus are discussed in the pages within, including herbal medicines, bee products, and modes of delivery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Staphylococci remain the most important cause of hospital-acquiredinfections in the U.S. and MRSA has become the most common cause ofskin and soft tissue infection in many parts of the world. There is now a much greater understanding of the physiology andevolution of the staphylococci and this new edition reflects therapid advancements in knowledge about this pathogen and provides acomprehensive review from both clinical and basic scienceperspectives. The first section addresses the basic biology of thestaphylococci, their molecular genetics, host defenses and hostevasion, virulence determinants, mechanisms of antibioticresistance, and laboratory techniques. The second section dealswith epidemiology, and the third section provides an overview ofthe varied clinical manifestations of human staphylococcalinfections. The fourth section covers prevention and treatment ofthese often life-threatening infections. Written by experts from around the globe, this book is essentialreading for all clinicians and basic scientists studying thestaphylococci.

Book excerpt: Bacteriophages: Practical Applications for Nature's Biocontrol' presents the latest information on uses in healthcare settings as well as animal husbandry, management and care of farm animals by using enhanced phages to replace antibiotics for growth promotion in animal feed or to prevent, control and treat disease in animals. The book will provide an overview of the function of phages and what researchers need to know, from phage hunting to laboratory design, management, production and application using different tools and methods. These key aspects will be discussed through a series of dedicated chapters, with topics covering auditing, validation, data analysis, microbial identification, culture media, and contamination control, etc.
Download or read book MRSA Molecular Typing written by Michel Jean Massaad and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methici 11 in-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is now recognised as an important community and hospital acquired pathogen with serious morbidity, mortality, and health care cost in tertiary care centers and nursing homes (Araj etal., 1996; submitted). In this study, 32 MRSA isolates were typed according to their antibiotic susceptibility patterns, whole-cell protein profiles, as determined by SDS-PAGE, and their plasmid profiles. The relatedness of the isolates was assessed, and the validity of each typing method evaluated. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the 32 isolates against 16 antimicrobial agents was done using the disk diffusion method. Sixteen different susceptibility patterns were identified. All isolates (100%) were resistant to ampicillin, penicillin, and oxacillin. Sixteen isolates (50%) were resistant to tetracycline; 12 (37.5%) to clindamicin, erythromycin, and gentamicin; 10 (31.25%) to sulfamethoxazole - trimethoprim; 9 (28.1%) to augmentin, cephalothin, and imipenem; 6 (18.75%) to norfloxacin; 5 (15.6%) to pefloxacin; 3 (9.4%) to rifampicin; and 2 (6.25%) to nitrofurantoin. However, all the isolate were susceptible to vancomycin and fusidic acid. Protein analysis by SDS-PAGE of whole-cell protein showed a total of 50-69 protein bands which were dominated by 5 major band-clusters similar in all the isolates. Variations in minor bands were evident but the crowded protein profiles rendered qualitative analysis of the isolates difficult. Instead, numerical analysis of the protein patterns was used. Correlation studies revealed a degree of similarity of the isolates ranging between 74.1 and 100%. Overall, SDS-PAGE analysis of MRSA proved to be cumbersome and not highly informative as far as subtyping MRSA isolates. PPA revealed 17 different groups among the 32 MRSA isolates. The number of plasmids varied between i and 9. A 12 Kb and a 23 KB plasmids vi were most common among the isolates with 81.25% frequency for the former and a 31.25% frequency for the latter. In addition to that, 12 isolates which had similar antibiotic susceptibility patterns were further subdivided into 7 groups by PPA. This technique proved to be a valuable typing tool for MRSA, the results were reproducible, and the banding patterns easy to interpret. REAP was attempted on 4 isolates belonging to 2 different groups according to PPA. This resulted in further differentiating 1 of the 2 groups into 2 subgroups. Taken together, the data shows that the MRSA isolates in Lebanon are highly heterogeneous. Continued monitoring and typing, using both conventional methods and PPA, of new MRSA isolates is recommended.
Download or read book Human Emerging and Re emerging Infections written by Sunit Kumar Singh and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 2365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging and re-emerging pathogens pose several challenges to diagnosis, treatment, and public health surveillance, primarily because pathogen identification is a difficult and time-consuming process due to the “novel” nature of the agent. Proper identification requires a wide array of techniques, but the significance of these diagnostics is anticipated to increase with advances in newer molecular and nanobiotechnological interventions and health information technology. Human Emerging and Re-emerging Infections covers the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostics, clinical features, and public health risks posed by new viral and microbial infections. The book includes detailed coverage on the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis, development of various diagnostic tools, diagnostic assays and their limitations, key research priorities, and new technologies in infection diagnostics. Volume 1 addresses viral and parasitic infections, while volume 2 delves into bacterial and mycotic infections. Human Emerging and Re-emerging Infections is an invaluable resource for researchers in parasitologists, microbiology, Immunology, neurology and virology, as well as clinicians and students interested in understanding the current knowledge and future directions of infectious diseases.
