Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) are high priority nosocomial bacteria with a potential for zoonotic transmission. Thus, its emergence outside health establishments is major concern. In order to study the prevalence of VRE in wildlife, we collected 221 faecal samples from free-ranging Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix) urban and rural habitats Hungary, March August 2020. The screening was done u...

This study is designed to isolate and molecular identification of C. neoformans, neoformans pathogenic yeast effect immunocompromised immunocompetent. Methods: collect 50 samples from pigeon dropping fanciers (sputum). The collection time was extended November 2021 February 2022, then culture at SDA, BSA, Cryptococcus Differential agar, esculin Eucalyptus leaves agar media Brain heart infusion ...

The PathoTec Rapid I-D System for identifying Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated with 471 cultures. In 4,910 individual test comparisons, 95.5% of the results agreed, with results of only two test strips, those for esculin hydrolysis and urease production, agreeing with conventional tests in less than 94% of the trials. The PathoTec system exhibited 94.3% accuracy in identifying these cultures in...

Vancomycin-resistant Streptococcus salivarius-like bacteria were isolated from the blood and gastrostomy tube of a 6-month-old child during vancomycin therapy for Staphylococcus epidermidis central venous catheter-associated bacteremia. The isolates produced D-(-)-lactate and ethanol from glucose, hydrolyzed esculin, and produced no ammonia from arginine, thus fulfilling the major criteria as L...

background vancomycin-resistant enterococci (vre) are the most common nosocomial pathogen worldwide. colonization with vre can lead to serious infection, some of which e.g. vre sepsis can be fatal. because vre are dangerous important pathogens, we aimed to determine the prevalence of vre among patients admitted in infectious, icu and surgery wards in a referral teaching hospital in isfahan, ira...

P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) inhibition is critical for reducing the overactivation of its downstream signaling pathway in autoimmune diseases. Phytochemicals are a source medicinal compounds various diseases and contribute to development effective safe P2X7R-targeted drugs. This review aimed at identifying screening novel safe, effective, economically feasible inhibitors P2X7R from phytochemicals ext...

Aesculin hydrolysis (ESC) is one of the key reactions in differentiating pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica biotypes 1B, 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the less-pathogenic biotype 1A. Because the ESC reaction is caused by β-glucosidase (βGLU) activity of the bacteria, we studied whether two commonly used methods (BBL CHROMagar Orientation and Vitek2 Gram-negative identification card) could be used in asses...

BACKGROUND Apophysomyces is a monotypic genus belonging to the order Mucorales. The species Apophysomyces elegans has been reported to cause severe infections in immunocompromised and immunocompetent people. In a previous study of Alvarez et al.(3) [J Clin Microbiol 2009;47:1650-6], we demonstrated a high variability among the 5.8S rRNA gene sequences of clinical strains of A. elegans. MATERI...

Although the term "Enterococcus" appeared in bacteriological literature as early as 1899 (Thiercelin26) this bacterial group has yet to assume the position merited by its occurrence and by its distinctive characteristics. The fault lies primarily in the failure of workers to cover all phases in the study of their strains and in an inability to correlate the results of different studies, rather ...
