Reservoir hosts of Leptospira inadai in India.
Isolation of Leptospira from the kidneys of Rattus rattus wroughtoni hinton, Rattus rattus rufescens, Bandicota bengalensis and Bandicota indica was attempted in Bangalore in southern India. In total, 296 spirochaetes were isolated from 1,348 kidney cultures (an isolation rate of 22%). A batch of fifty-six isolates from India was identified, based on serological and polymerase chain reaction an...
متن کاملOne reservoir: redefining the community origins of antimicrobial-resistant infections.
This article reviews the evidence concerning the emergence of community-acquired MRSA and highlights the relevance of reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance in humans and animals in the community environment. Although hospital use of antimicrobials has been assumed to generate the highest risk of resistance and transmission of resistant infections, the greater load of antimicrobial use is found...
متن کاملBacterial Infections in Neonates, Madagascar, 2012–2014
Severe bacterial infections are a leading cause of death among neonates in low-income countries, which harbor several factors leading to emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Low-income countries should prioritize interventions to decrease neonatal infections; however, data are scarce, specifically from the community. To assess incidence, etiologies, and antimicrobial drug-resis...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance among uropathogens that cause community-acquired urinary tract infections in Antananarivo, Madagascar.
BACKGROUND Urinary tract pathogens obtained from patients in Madagascar are becoming increasingly resistant to commonly used antibiotics that are readily available at a low price. This poses a real problem for the treatment of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Madagascar. OBJECTIVES To obtain data on the pathogens responsible for community-acquired UTIs in Antananarivo and...
متن کاملHost heterogeneity is a determinant of competitive exclusion or coexistence in genetically diverse malaria infections.
During an infection, malaria parasites compete for limited amounts of food and enemy-free space. Competition affects parasite growth rate, transmission and virulence, and is thus important for parasite evolution. Much evolutionary theory assumes that virulent clones outgrow avirulent ones, favouring the evolution of higher virulence. We infected laboratory mice with a mixture of two Plasmodium ...
