Prognostic factors and monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis: gram-positive versus gram-negative pathogens
BACKGROUND Monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis is rapidly progressive and life-threatening. This study was undertaken to ascertain whether the clinical presentation and outcome for patients with this disease differ for those infected with a gram-positive as compared to gram-negative pathogen. METHODS Forty-six patients with monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis were examined retrospectively fro...
متن کاملPost-neurosurgical meningitis; gram negative bacilli vs. gram positive cocci
Background: Post-neurosurgical meningitis is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity. In this study we aimed to compare the differences of clinical, laboratory features and outcomes between the post-neurosurgical meningitis caused by gram-negative bacilli (GNB) and gram-positive cocci (GPC). Methods: Cases of post-neurosurgical meningitis (with positive CSF culture) were included. After...
متن کاملGram-negative versus gram-positive prosthetic joint infections.
To the Editor—We read with great interest the report by Hsieh et al [1] in the 1 October 2009 issue of the journal on gram-negative prosthetic joint infections (GN PJIs). We congratulate the authors for their substantial contribution. The authors revealed that treating GN PJI with debridement was associated with a lower 2-year cumulative probability of success than treating gram-positive (GP) P...
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<...
