Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteriology of sputum in cystic fibrosis: evaluation of dithiothreitol as a mucolytic agent.
TL;DR: DTT treatment does not improve recovery of organisms from qualitative cultures but does facilitate quantitative studies of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa in CF sputum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in reprocessing policies and procedures for flexible fiberoptic endoscopes in Massachusetts hospitals
TL;DR: It is concluded that reprocessing of flexible fiberoptic endoscopes is inconsistent and potentially ineffective, and knowledge that a flexible fiber optic endoscope was used for a patient with AIDS influences practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of Neonatal Innate Defense: Effects of Adding an N-Terminal Recombinant Fragment of Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein on Growth and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Inducing Activity of Gram-Negative Bacteria Tested in Neonatal Cord Blood Ex Vivo
Ofer Levy,Richard B. Sisson,Jonathan Kenyon,Eric C. Eichenwald,Ann B. Macone,Donald A. Goldmann +5 more
TL;DR: Administration of rBPI21 may be of clinical benefit to neonates suffering from gram-negative bacterial infection and/or endotoxemia and the effects of addition of recombinant 21-kDa N-terminal BPI fragment (rBPI 21) on the growth and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-inducing activity of representative gram- negative clinical isolates are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal Nonparenteral Spread of Hepatitis B Among Children
Alan M. Leichtner,Jeanne M. Leclair,Donald A. Goldmann,Richard T. Schumacher,Ira H. Gewolb,Aubrey J. Katz +5 more
TL;DR: Horizontal, nonparenteral transmission of hepatitis B virus probably accounted for the clustering of infection in these families, especially via the exchange among children of objects contaminated with oral secretions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Healthcare-associated infection and antimicrobial resistance : Moving beyond description to prevention
TL;DR: It is found that patients with MRSA infection, excepting those with pneumonia, had higher mortality than did patients infected with methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and together these 2 reports emphasize that HAI and HA-MDROs are associated with increased mortality independent of the patient’s underlying illness.
