Gram-negative versus gram-positive prosthetic joint infections.
To the Editor—We read with great interest the report by Hsieh et al [1] in the 1 October 2009 issue of the journal on gram-negative prosthetic joint infections (GN PJIs). We congratulate the authors for their substantial contribution. The authors revealed that treating GN PJI with debridement was associated with a lower 2-year cumulative probability of success than treating gram-positive (GP) P...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the acute inflammatory response to infections with gram-negative versus gram-positive bacteria.
Sepsis caused by gram-negative bacteria and that caused by gram-positive bacteria often manifest similar clinical features. We investigated plasma proinflammatory cytokine profiles in patients with sepsis due to gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and studied the cytokine production and differential gene regulation of leukocytes stimulated ex vivo with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide o...
متن کاملPost-neurosurgical meningitis; gram negative bacilli vs. gram positive cocci
Background: Post-neurosurgical meningitis is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity. In this study we aimed to compare the differences of clinical, laboratory features and outcomes between the post-neurosurgical meningitis caused by gram-negative bacilli (GNB) and gram-positive cocci (GPC). Methods: Cases of post-neurosurgical meningitis (with positive CSF culture) were included. After...
متن کاملGram positive and Gram negative bacteria differ in their sensitivity to cold plasma
Cold atmospheric-pressure plasma (CAP) is a relatively new method being investigated for antimicrobial activity. However, the exact mode of action is still being explored. Here we report that CAP efficacy is directly correlated to bacterial cell wall thickness in several species. Biofilms of Gram positive Bacillus subtilis, possessing a 55.4 nm cell wall, showed the highest resistance to CAP, w...
متن کاملSynthesis, characterization and antimicrobial properties of CuO nanoparticles against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains
Nano structured materials have wide range of applications due to their interesting size-dependent chemical and physical properties compared to particles of size in the range of micrometer. Copper oxide nano materials are of interest on account of their potential uses in many technological fields. In this study CuO nanoparticles were synthesized via simple sol gel method using basic CuSO4<...
