Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram-Derived Radial Decision Trees: An Innovative Approach to Susceptibility Data DisplayRocco J. Perla, Paul P. BelliveauHospital antibiograms (ABGMs) are often presented in the form of large 2-factor (single organism vs. single antimicrobial) tables. Presenting susceptibility data in this fashion, although of value, does have limitations relative to drug resistant subpopulations. As the crisis of antimicrobial drug-resistance continues to escalate globally, clinicians need (1) to have access to susceptibility data that, for isolates resistant to first-line … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe use of Probiotics in Horses with Gastrointestinal DiseaseJelena Gotić, Darko Grden, Nikica Prvanović Babić, Vladimir MrljakProbiotics are common adjunctive therapy used in human and veterinary medicine, mostly intended for gastrointestinal diseases treatment or prevention. Lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacilli, bifid bacteria and enterococci and Saccharomyces boulardii, a subtype of the nonpathogenic yeast have been most frequently used as probiotic active ingredients. To become a recognized effective probiotic, a certain microorganism must fulfill many expectations, primarily the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2017 · 8,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE EFFECT OF DIABETES MELLITUS ON THE CLINICAL AND MICRO-BIOLOGICAL OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE PYELONEPHRITISKathleen Lynch, Veena Venugopalan, Levita HidayatThere is some published evidence which suggests that the clinical outcomes and pathogens associated with Acute Pyelonephritis (AP) differ between diabetics and non-diabetics. However, current guidelines do not make treatment distinctions based on Diabetes Mellitus (DM) status. The objectives of this study were to identify the microbiological and clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with AP and investigate differences between patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 6 May 2014 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial and Anti-Quorum Sensing Activities of Selected Italian Honeys against Antibiotic-Resistant PathogensMarco Fidaleo, Roberto Lavecchia, Antonio ZuorroThree nectar honeys (eucalyptus, thyme and forest) and two honeydew honeys (fir and Metcalfa) from Italy were tested for their antibacterial activity against pathogens commonly associated with wound and burn infections, including Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus Faecalis (VREF). All honeys showed bactericidal activity against the microorganisms used, with honeydew honeys being the most … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2015 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Different Drugs in Down-Regulation of Efflux Pump Genes expression in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus StrainsManu Chaudhary, Santosh Kumar Patnaik, Anurag PayasiAntimicrobial resistance caused by efflux systems is not widely studied in Staphylococcus aureus. In the present study, prevalence of NorA and NorB efflux pumps was studied in thirteen Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains using a pair of primers with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Antibiotic susceptibility study in NorA and NorB efflux positive isolates was carried out according to the Clinical … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
