Invasive gram-positive bacterial infection in cancer patients.
Systematic studies have shown that gram-positive organisms are the leading cause of invasive bacterial disease in patients with cancer. A broad range of gram-positive bacteria cause serious infections in the cancer patient with the greatest burden of disease being due to staphylococci, streptococci, and enterococci. The evolution of cancer therapy and the changing epidemiology of major gram-pos...
متن کاملGram positive bacterial infections in immunocompromised patients with HIV infection
Methods We performed a retrospective and compared study, between 01 January 2007 – 31 December 2010, in the Infectious Diseases Hospital of Craiova, on two groups of adults patients (Px): group A 114 PIH and group B 1442 Px non HIV, which had been diagnosed with nontuberculosis bacterial infections (BI) with established etiology. For each group we analyzed the incidence, clinical spectrum, etio...
متن کاملPreventing Invasive Bacterial Infection in Neutropenic Patients with Cancer
Introduction Children receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy are at risk for febrile neutropenia, invasive infections and infection-related mortality. Risks for these different outcomes vary according to several factors including the depth and duration of neutropenia1, presence of comorbidities2, and other clinical and laboratory markers.3-6 Children at high risk of infectious morbidity includ...
متن کاملSerological detection of Gram-positive bacterial infection around prostheses.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci produce an exocellular glycolipid antigen which has potential as a serological marker of infection in bone. The value of this newly detected antigen was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 15 patients with culture-proven infection of prostheses caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The antigen was purified by gel-permeation chromatography fr...
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<...
