چکیده
Urosepsis can progress toward severe sepsis, septic shock, and, ultimately, death. Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing is crucial to decrease mortality and morbidity. This report shows that isothermal microcalorimetry can provide an antibiogram within 7 h with a sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 91% using Vitek-2 system as a reference.

متن کاملBiomedical Use of Isothermal Microcalorimeters
Isothermal microcalorimetry is becoming widely used for monitoring biological activities in vitro. Microcalorimeters are now able to measure heat production rates of less than a microwatt. As a result, metabolism and growth of relatively small numbers of cultured bacteria, protozoans, human cells and even small animals can be monitored continuously and extremely accurately at any chosen tempera...
متن کاملDevelopment of a flow system for studying biofilm formation on medical devices with microcalorimetry.
Isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) is particularly suited to the study of microbiological samples in complex or heterogeneous environments because it does not require optical clarity of the sample and can detect metabolic activity from as few as 10(4) CFU/mL cells. While the use of IMC for studying planktonic cultures is well established, in the clinical environment bacteria are most likely to b...
متن کاملStandards in Isothermal Microcalorimetry
The main calorimetric principles used in isothermal microcalorimetry are briefly discussed. Different chemical calibration and test reactions are discussed, with a focus on reactions suitable for ambient conditions: reactions initiated by mixing of liquids (including titration microcalorimetry), dissolution of solid compounds and of slightly soluble gases, a photochemical process, and thermal p...
متن کاملInhibition study of adenosine deaminase by caffeine using spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry.
Kinetic and thermodynamic studies were made on the effect of caffeine on the activity of adenosine deaminase in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, using UV spectrophotometry and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). An uncompetitive inhibition was observed for caffeine. A graphical fitting method was used for determination of binding constant and enthalpy of inhibitor binding by using iso...
