چکیده
Mycoplasma contamination of the licensed anthrax vaccine administered to military personnel has been suggested as a possible cause of Persian Gulf illness. Vaccine samples tested by nonmilitary laboratories were negative for viable mycoplasma and mycoplasma DNA and did not support its survival. Mycoplasma contamination of anthrax vaccine should not be considered a possible cause of illness.

Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) Producing Enterobacteria in Aquatic Environmental Sources of Bangladesh
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteria has become a considerable global concern because of their potential dissemination in humans, in domestic animals, wildlife and the environment. The present study aimed to explore the ESBL producing enterobacteria in aquatic sources of Bangladesh as the water may be the potential source of dissemination of this alarming ant...
متن کاملDifferential phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of qnrS1-harboring plasmids carried by hospital and community commensal enterobacteria.
The qnrS1 gene induces reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones in enterobacteria. We investigated the structure, antimicrobial susceptibility phenotype, and antimicrobial resistance gene characteristics of qnrS1 plasmids from hospitalized patients and community controls in southern Vietnam. We found that the antimicrobial susceptibilities, resistance gene characteristics, and plasmid structu...
متن کاملSymptom screening rules to identify active pulmonary tuberculosis: Findings from the Zambian South African Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS Reduction (ZAMSTAR) trial prevalence surveys
BACKGROUND High tuberculosis (TB) burden countries should consider systematic screening among adults in the general population. We identified symptom screening rules to be used in addition to cough ≥2 weeks, in a context where X-ray screening is not feasible, aiming to increase the sensitivity of screening while achieving a specificity of ≥85%. METHODS We used 2010 Zambia South Africa Tubercu...
متن کاملExtended-spectrum beta-lactamases.
At least 30 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESB) have emerged responsible for resistance to indigestible beta-lactams (C3G) since their discovery in West Germany in 1983. Most of them are produced by enterobacteria and essentially K. pneumoniae which appeared susceptible to oxyimino-beta-lactams. A double-disk test was useful to detect such nosocomial isolates of enterobacteria (urines, bloo...
متن کاملAntiretroviral Therapy Access in Zambia: Improving the HomeBase Care System
Zambia is confronted with one of the worst HIV/AIDS epidemics in the world which had a tremendous effect on Zambian health and economy. As of June 2005, ARV drugs officially have been made available free of charge through public health institutions in the country. However, shortage of trained medical stuff, distance of ART centers from people’s community, and lack of transportation, represent m...
