The route less taken: pulmonary models of enteric Gram-negative infection.
Many pathogens are capable of causing a fulminant infection in pulmonary tissues of mammals. Animal models have provided an extensive understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis as well as host immune response in the lungs. Many clinically relevant Gram-negative bacteria are host-restricted. Thus, the powerful, informative tools of mouse models are not availa...
متن کاملEmerging gram-negative enteric infections.
This is an overview describing the microbiology, epidemiology, clinical presentations, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment of emerging gram-negative enteric infections. This review illustrates the shifts in epidemiology of infections caused by new and reemerging bacteria and highlights the role of the clinical microbiology laboratory in detecting these pathogens. It concludes with suggestions f...
متن کاملThe Importance of Extended-Spectrum β-lactamases in Gram-Negative Enteric Bacilli and the Phenotypic Methods of detection
The production of β-lactamase enzymes is the main mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in gramnegative bacilli. Therefore, it is important to identify the β-lactamases-producing bacteria for the treatment of caused infections. This article aimed to review the recent literature and guidelines regarding phenotypic detection of β-lactamases in common gram-negative bacilli in clinical sa...
متن کاملSevere Gram-Negative Intertrigo of the Feet
Introduction: Intertrigo is a common disease of the skin usually caused by fungi and/or bacteria, often involving major or minor skin folds. Here, we report a case of severe, ulcerative intertrigo of all interdigital folds of both feet caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a patient with type II diabetes who acquired the infection during a trip to Senegal. Case Pres...
متن کاملThe Route of Enteric Infection in Normal Mice
This study followed the early pathogenesis of orally induced murine typhoid fever. Intragastrically administered Salmonella enteritidis moves quickly through the normal undisturbed gut so that only a small residuum remains in the cecum and large intestine after the first few hours. Dye injection of the gut wall was used to show that lymph from discrete portions of the gastrointestinal tract dra...
