Showing papers in "Anaerobe in 2023"

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used Epsilometer test (E-test) to assess the metronidazole susceptibility and conventional PCR methodology to map the distribution of nim genes in Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG) isolates.

TL;DR: In this article , a 47-year-old woman with high fever, disturbed consciousness, headache, and neck pain was reported to have a brain abscess caused by Parvimonas micra infection.

TL;DR: The first case of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis subclinical bacteraemia, in an extremely low birth weight preterm infant, since introduction of routine probiotic treatment at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital 10 years ago was reported in this paper .

TL;DR: In this paper , a total of 866 anaerobic strains were tested by E-TEST for antimicrobial susceptibility, and the most frequent antimicrobial resistance among the isolated genera, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, was observed for clindamycin, and therefore, it cannot be considered as an empirical treatment.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the genetic characteristics and antimicrobial resistance profiles of C. difficile isolated from 942 fecal samples collected from horses in South Korea during 2019-2020.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explore antimicrobial resistance gene determinant, and phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility, data for Fusobacterium necrophorum from a collection of UK strains.

TL;DR: In this paper , an increasing number of molecular mimics are being identified among the anaerobic microbiota which structurally resemble endogenous components and their ability to induce autoimmune disease through cross-reactive autoantibody production is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the epidemiology, molecular characteristics, and antimicrobial susceptibility of C. difficile isolated from adults with diarrhoea in Vietnam and found that the prevalence of multidrug resistance was relatively high.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe the clinical characteristics of 8 different patients and to study the in vitro antibiotic susceptibility of the strains, as well as to evaluate the in vivo activity of prescribed treatments.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe differences between bloodstream infections involving Gram-positive (GP) and Gram-negative (GN) anaerobic bacteria, and the association between variables was analyzed using contingency tables, applying the chi-square test when expected frequencies were adequate and the Fisher exact test when not.

TL;DR: In this paper , the extracellular release of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) by Epsilon-toxin was measured and the role of ASMase in epsilontoxin-induced cytotoxicity was examined using selective inhibitors and knockdown.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of non-mammalian models used to study CDI can be found in this article , where the authors identified multiple studies using these models to study C. difficile infection, pathogenicity, colonization, host immunity and therapy.

TL;DR: In this article , the presence of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in human clinical multidrug-resistant Bacteroides fragilis isolates, including resistance to meropenem and metronidazole, were recovered at different hospitals in the Netherlands between 2014 and 2020.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used Epsilometer test (E-test) to assess the metronidazole susceptibility and conventional PCR methodology to map the distribution of nim genes in Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG) isolates.

TL;DR: In this paper , a randomized controlled trial of misoprostol for prevention of recurrent C. difficile was conducted, and despite careful prescreening and thoughtful protocol modifications to facilitate enrollment, the study closed early after enrolling just 7 participants over 3 years.

TL;DR: In this article , a study was conducted to establish the prevalence of C. difficile in a variety of foods of animal origin, together with molecular strain characterization and antimicrobial resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper , a patient with diverticulitis complicated with bacteremia was treated with IV piperacillin/tazobactam and later with 1 g/0,2 g of amoxicillin/clavulanic during 7 days with good clinical evolution.

TL;DR: In this article , a markerless gene deletion method was developed for P. vulgatus, which was applied to delete a gene encoding a putative endofructosidase (BVU1663).

TL;DR: The role of the PGN2012 gene of the periodontitis contributing pathobiont Porphyromonas gingivalis was investigated in this article , where the authors used a combination of bioinformatics, knockout mutagenesis, growth experiments, biofilm assays and human cell invation assays to investigate PGN 2012 function.

TL;DR: In this article , the risk factors for recurrent healthcare facility-associated Clostridioides difficile infection (HCF-CDI) were evaluated with a retrospective nested case control study based on chart reading.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore antimicrobial resistance gene determinant, and phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility, data for Fusobacterium necrophorum from a collection of UK strains.

TL;DR: In this article , an 82-year-old woman was diagnosed with hip joint infection and a radical debridement, prosthetic withdrawal, and spacer introduction was performed, followed by antibiotic bitherapy with ciprofloxacin and metronidazole.

TL;DR: The authors examined whether the same nim gene-insertion sequence (IS) element combinations give rise to the same expression levels as they harbor shared IS element-borne promoters, finding that the expressions of the nimB and nimE genes with their cognate IS elements were similar, but the metronidazole resistance of these strains were more diverse.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed ETBF isolates from colorectal cancer (CRC), pre-cancerous lesions (pre-CRC) or with a healthy intestinal tissue and evaluated the environmental factors that may not only concur to CRC development but may also affect gut microbiota composition.
