Impact of BAL data on the therapy and outcome of ventilator-associated pneumonia
Carlos M. Luna,Patricia Vujacich,Michael S. Niederman,Carlos Vay,Carlos R Gherardi,Josue Matera,Enrique C. Jolly +6 more
TL;DR: The impact of BAL data on the selection of antibiotics and the outcomes of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined and mortality rate is reduced if this empiric therapy is adequate, compared to when this therapy is inadequate or no therapy is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosome-Encoded CTX-M-3 from Kluyvera ascorbata: a Possible Origin of Plasmid-Borne CTX-M-1-Derived Cefotaximases
María Margarita Rodríguez,Pablo Power,Marcela Alejandra Radice,Carlos Vay,Angela Famiglietti,Moreno Galleni,Juan A. Ayala,Gabriel Osvaldo Gutkind +7 more
TL;DR: A gene identical to plasmid-borne blaCTX-M-3 is present in the chromosome of one Kluyvera ascorbata strain and is associated with a structure including an inverted repeat right and an open reading frame 477-like gene probably involved in the mobilization of bla CTX- M-3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood Cultures Have Limited Value in Predicting Severity of Illness and as a Diagnostic Tool in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
Carlos M. Luna,Alejandro J. Videla,Josué Mattera,Carlos Vay,Angela Famiglietti,Patricia Vujacich,Michael S. Niederman +6 more
TL;DR: Blood cultures have a low sensitivity for detecting the same pathogenic microorganism as BAL culture in patients with VAP, and the presence of bacteremia does not predict complications, it is not related to the length of stay, and it does not identify patients with more severe illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Data demonstrate that rapid identification of pathogenic GPRs can be obtained without an extraction step by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Rapid Identification of Nonfermenting Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolated from Sputum Samples from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Alejandra Bosch,Alejandro Miñán,Cecilia Vescina,José Degrossi,Blanca Gatti,Patricia Montanaro,M.T. Messina,M.A. Franco,Carlos Vay,Juergen Schmitt,Dieter Naumann,Osvaldo Yantorno +11 more
TL;DR: A novel strategy for the rapid identification of NF rods based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in combination with artificial neural networks (ANNs) is developed, demonstrating the high degree of reliability and strong potential of ANN-based FTIR spectrum analysis for the Rapid identification ofNF rods suitable for use in routine clinical microbiology laboratories.
