Development of Epidural and Paraspinal Abscesses after Insufficient Evaluation and Treatment of Acute Pyelonephritis Caused by Staphylococcus aureus

Diagnoses of pyelonephritis caused by Staphylococcus aureus should be accompanied by investigations of concomitant bladder obstruction and metastatic infections, especially to the spine or heart. Complicated pyelonephritis due to S. aureus requires more than 2 weeks of antibiotics, which is the typically recommended treatment duration for pyelonephritis. We describe a patient who was diagnosed ...

ADPKD often leads to progressive kidney (renal) failure, primarily due to continued enlargement of the cysts and replacement of normal kidney tissue. The present case is of a 70-year-old male diabetic ...

Transcriptomic analysis of Staphylococcus xylosus in the presence of nitrate and nitrite in meat reveals its response to nitrosative stress

Staphylococcus xylosus is one of the major starter cultures used for meat fermentation because of its crucial role in the reduction of nitrate to nitrite which contributes to color and flavor development. Despite longstanding use of these additives, their impact on the physiology of S. xylosus has not yet been explored. We present the first in situ global gene expression profile of S. xylosus i...

Carbon catabolite repression by the catabolite control protein CcpA in Staphylococcus xylosus.

Carbon catabolic repression (CR) by the catabolite control protein CcpA has been analyzed in Staphylococcus xylosus. Genes encoding components needed to utilize lactose, sucrose, and maltose were found to be repressed by CcpA. In addition, the ccpA gene is under negative autogenous control. Among several tested sugars, glucose caused strongest CcpA-dependent repression. Glucose can enter S. xyl...
