serum procalcitonin levels distinguish gram-negative bacterial sepsis from gram-positive bacterial and fungal sepsis
background: serum procalcitonin (pct) levels differ in patients with bacterial or fungal infections and are significantly elevated in patients with gram-negative bacteremia. we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of different inflammatory markers to discriminate sepsis caused by different pathogens. materials and methods: we included 328 episodes of bacteremia from 292 patients with sepsis and 31...
متن کاملGram-positive and gram-negative bacterial toxins in sepsis
Bacterial sepsis is a major cause of fatality worldwide. Sepsis is a multi-step process that involves an uncontrolled inflammatory response by the host cells that may result in multi organ failure and death. Both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria play a major role in causing sepsis. These bacteria produce a range of virulence factors that enable them to escape the immune defenses and dis...
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 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<...
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...
