Asymptomatic Clostridium difficile Colonisation and Onward Transmission
INTRODUCTION Combined genotyping/whole genome sequencing and epidemiological data suggest that in endemic settings only a minority of Clostridium difficile infection, CDI, is acquired from other cases. Asymptomatic patients are a potential source for many unexplained cases. METHODS We prospectively screened a cohort of medical inpatients in a UK teaching hospital for asymptomatic C. difficile...
متن کاملAsymptomatic neonatal colonisation by Clostridium difficile.
In a prospective survey of infants born in a single maternity unit, asymptomatic faecal colonisation by Clostridium difficile occurred in 31 (47%) of 66 babies who provided a faecal sample during week one of life and at age 14 and 28 days, and in 46 (30.7%) of the total of 150 babies for whom at least one faecal sample was obtained during the month of study. There was no evidence for acquisitio...
متن کاملPneumococcal colonisation density: a new marker for disease severity in HIV-infected adults with pneumonia
OBJECTIVE A high genomic load of Pneumococcus from blood or cerebrospinal fluid has been associated with increased mortality. We aimed to analyse whether nasopharyngeal colonisation density in HIV-infected patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with markers of disease severity or poor outcome. METHODS Quantitative lytA real-time PCR was performed on nasopharyngeal swab...
متن کاملStreptococcus pneumoniae colonisation: the key to pneumococcal disease.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important pathogen causing invasive diseases such as sepsis, meningitis, and pneumonia. The burden of disease is highest in the youngest and oldest sections of the population in both more and less developed countries. The treatment of pneumococcal infections is complicated by the worldwide emergence in pneumococci of resistance to penicillin and other antibiotics....
