Epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a burns hospital: surveillance by a combined typing system.
For 3 months, 259 cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from nonpatient environmental sources and 262 cultures from 16 infected patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Shriners Burns Hospital were typed by a combined system with a high degree of reliability. Sinks were major sources of environmental contamination. Serotypes 1 and 2 were the predominant types found in patients, and th...
متن کاملUse of ultraviolet light in the typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains by pyocin production.
Air-flow measurements at the working aperture showed an air speed of 0-137 m/second. After panels had been fitted to reduce the aperture from 84 x 13 cm to the minimum practicable size of 31 x 13 cm, the flow was increased to 0-32 m/second-still less than the recommended rate of 0 5 m/second. Tests of the furnace efficiency (Table, plates 1-4) showed that viable Str. hominis survived in the eff...
متن کاملEpidemiological fingerprinting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by the production of and sensitivity of pyocin and bacteriophage.
A new method has been devised to trace cross-infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Unknown strains growing logarithmically in liquid media were treated with mitomycin C to induce the liberation of pyocin and phage. The lysates were then tested against 27 selected indicator strains, and the zones of clearing were differentiated as to killing by pyocin or lysis by phage. Twenty-four standard pyoci...
متن کاملinvestigation of single-user and multi-user detection methods in mc-cdma systems and comparison of their performances
در این پایان نامه به بررسی روش های آشکارسازی در سیستم های mc-cdma می پردازیم. با توجه به ماهیت آشکارسازی در این سیستم ها، تکنیک های آشکارسازی را می توان به دو دسته ی اصلی تقسیم نمود: آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی یک کاربر مطلوب بدون در نظر گرفتن اطلاعاتی در مورد سایر کاربران تداخل کننده که از آن ها به عنوان آشکارساز های تک کاربره یاد می شود و همچنین آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی همه ی کاربران فعال موجود در...
