Investigating physiological and genetic characteristics of community acquired infections and potential antimicrobial interventions
Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus sp. infections occur in hospital and, increasingly, in community settings, with the potential of having different susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of antimicrobial agents against community acquired …

Helper phage capsid size redirection by staphylococcal pathogenicity island SaPI1 involves internal scaffolding proteins.
… is one of the leading causes of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Many of the virulence factors are encoded on staphylococcal mobile genetic elements. Members of the SaPI family of S. aureus mobile elements encode superantigens and are mobilized at high frequency by specific helper …

ENABLING RAPID PHENOTYPIC DETECTION OF CEPHALOSPORIN RESISTANCE BEYOND THE CENTRAL LABORATORY
… cephalosporins used to treat many hospital and community-acquired infections. This major public health threat has been acknowledged for decades by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as a major concern; yet, the detection of superbugs has not been made routine since standard testing practices …

Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors dictate host signaling pathways and immune responses
Staphylococcus aureus causes nosocomial- and community- acquired infections. This versatile pathogen expresses virulence factors (VF) that enhance establishment of infection and immune evasion. Our research focused on defining the roles of S. aureus VF on host immune responses during intracellular …

Host and Bacterial Determinants of Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Colonization in Humans
… causes severe hospital-associated and community-acquired infections. SA nasal carriage plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections and SA eradication from the nares has proven to be effective in reducing endogenous infections. To understand SA nasal …

Characterisation of lipoproteins in staphylococcus aureus
… capable of causing a wide range of hospital-acquired and community-acquired infections, and is becoming increasingly virulent and resistant to antibiotics. In order to investigate this pathogen, various methods have been used to analyse the pathogenic behaviour including genomics, …

Defining the Aetiology and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns of the Predominant Bacteria Associated with Bloodstream Infections at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are among the most common critical diseases that require intensive care and continuous surveillance. According to many multinational antimicrobial resistance surveillance schemes, Asia represents a substantial reservoir of clinically relevant antimicrobial resistant …

Factores asociados a infección urinaria por bacterias gram negativas BLEE positivas en población pediátrica
Introducción: Las infección del tracto urinario (ITU) causada por bacterias productoras de betalactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE) en niños ha venido en aumento en los últimos años. Se pretendió identificar los factores asociados para su presentación, en una muestra de pacientes en la …
