Inpatient care and microbial surveillance during year 2007-2008; retrospective evaluation of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in General Hospital Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
Patient care is a concerning issue representing the nosocomial infection transmission especially hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). This study aims to identify the percentage statistics of HAP among the hospitalised patients of general ward. Also, among the objectives is to investigate the etiological pattern with the prescribed antibiotics in the concomitant treatment. A two-year retrospective ...

New Findings about Capsular polysaccharide You May Want to Know
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis. Collectively, these infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults and young children. To fight these deadly infections, a pneumococcal vaccine is given to stimulate the production of antibodies against CPS. However, bacteria can manipulate their CPS structure to evade these antibodies. ...

Isolation and partial characterization of a new strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae capable of high 1,3 propanediol production from glycerol
Glycerol is a promising feedstock for microbial cultivation and production of 1,3 propanediol (1,3 PDO). Here we report a newly isolated bacterial strain BA11 from soil, capable of fermenting glycerol to 1,3 PDO, and has been identified to be a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Strain BA11 was fast growing showing peak 1,3 PDO production in 6 h of cultivation with productivity of 1.2 g/L-h without ...

Application of Whole Plasmid Sequencing in Analyzing Drug Resistance Genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a significant causative agent of hospital- and community-acquired infections, presenting with various clinical manifestations. Notably, the rapid spread of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a global threat, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. In this context, researchers have employed high-throughput sequencing to investigate drug resistance ...

Nebulised MSC-Derived EVs: A Potential Therapy for E. coli-Induced Pneumonia
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown great promise in cell therapy for various diseases, including lung injury. However, recent research has focused on the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from MSCs. These EVs contain bioactive molecules that can modulate immune responses and promote tissue repair. In the context of pneumonia caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) ...

Mortality from selected diseases that can be transmitted by water – United States, 2003–2009
Diseases spread by water are caused by fecal–oral, contact, inhalation, or other routes, resulting in illnesses affecting multiple body systems. We selected 13 pathogens or syndromes implicated in waterborne disease outbreaks or other well-documented waterborne transmission (acute otitis externa, Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Escherichia coli (E. coli), free-living ameba, Giardia, Hepatitis ...

Common Microorganisms Found in the Air
One of the most common tools that horror movies use to scare audiences is the fear of the unknown. They know you’re afraid that anything could be lurking in the dark, so they use it. As it turns out, it isn’t only the dark that holds a danger. There are likely to be thousands or millions of tiny living beings floating in your air as we speak. These beings are called microorganisms ...

New and dangerous mold
Cryptococcus gattii was considered to be a mold found only in semi tropical and topical climates until it was found recently in the Pacific Northwest. It seems to have adapted to the cool, wet environment on Vancouver Island, Canada and spread from there to western Canada, Washington (state) and Oregon. It may have already spread to Idaho and California. Normally, Cryptococcus molds are capable ...

Project - Sublingual Interferon-alfa (BL SLIT II)
We plan to develop sublingual interferon-alfa for the prevention of viral infections, such as influenza and coronaviruses (such as COVID-19). The rise in prevalence of viral respiratory infections in humans and increase in health care expenditure are projected to boost the growth of the global respiratory antiviral treatment market. Respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza ...
