متن کاملOutpatient CAPD catheter salvage for persistent exit-site/tunnel infection.
BACKGROUND Partial replantation (i.e. replacement of the extraperitoneal portion of the catheter with creation of a new subcutaneous tunnel) has been suggested to avoid catheter removal in patients with persistent exit-site/tunnel infection (ESTI). However, published experience with this technique is limited. METHODS Partial replantation was performed on an outpatient basis under local anesth...

With the implementation of best demonstrated clinical practices, peritonitis has become an infrequent complication of peritoneal dialysis in many centers around the world. Yet the gains in reduction in risk of peritonitis are not uniform. Most episodes of peritonitis do not require hospitalization and it is possible to achieve cure rates of 70%-80%.

متن کاملSite-specific methylation of 16S rRNA caused by pct, a pactamycin resistance determinant from the producing organism, Streptomyces pactum.
Ribosomal resistance to pactamycin in clones of Streptomyces lividans containing DNA (pct) from Streptomyces pactum, the pactamycin producer, involves methylation of 16S RNA. The modified residue A-941 in S. lividans 16S rRNA (A-964 in the homologous Escherichia coli sequence) is converted to 1-methyladenosine, and the ribosomal ability to bind pactamycin is reduced or abolished.
