The Susceptibility Evaluation of Multiresistant Gram-Negative Bacilli to Meropenem and Imipenem
Introduction: Nosocomial infections are responsible for the much of the morbidity and mortality found in hospitals. The present study was conducted on 70 bacterial strains isolated from hospitalized patients in various medical units of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran, Iran during a period of 12 months from; March to February 2009. Methods: The bacterial s...
متن کاملHematopoietic but Not Endothelial Cell MyD88 Contributes to Host Defense during Gram-negative Pneumonia Derived Sepsis
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important cause of sepsis. The common Toll-like receptor adapter myeloid differentiation primary response gene (MyD)88 is crucial for host defense against Klebsiella. Here we investigated the role of MyD88 in myeloid and endothelial cells during Klebsiella pneumosepsis. Mice deficient for MyD88 in myeloid (LysM-Myd88(-/-)) and myeloid plus endothelial (Tie2-Myd88(-/-...
متن کاملInfluenza-induced type I interferon enhances susceptibility to gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial pneumonia in mice.
Suppression of type 17 immunity by type I interferon (IFN) during influenza A infection has been shown to enhance susceptibility to secondary bacterial pneumonia. Although this mechanism has been described in coinfection with gram-positive bacteria, it is unclear whether similar mechanisms may impair lung defense against gram-negative infections. Furthermore, precise delineation of the duration...
متن کاملPrevention of Gram-Negative Bacillary Pneumonia
A B S T R A CT All 744 patients admitted to a Respiratory-Surgical Intensive Care Unit (RSICU) were included in a prospective study of the effects of a polymyxin (2.5 mg/kg body wt/day in six divided doses) or a placebo aerosol sprayed into the posterior pharynx and tracheal tube (if present), during 11 alternating 2-mo treatment cycles. The incidence of upper airway colonization in the RSICU w...
متن کاملMasquerading pneumonia--pulmonary contusion.
Pneumonia is diagnosed and treated with symptoms of fever, cough, expectoration and chest X ray showing evidence of consolidation. When a pattern of opacification does not fit into segmental or lobar pattern, reevaluation is essential. We report a case of 18 yr old boy with symptoms of respiratory infection, and X ray diagnosis suggestive of infective consolidation which turned out to be a case...
