Experimental comparison of point-of-use filters for drinking water ultrafiltration.

The Journal of hospital infection
BACKGROUND: Waterborne pathogens such as Pseudomonas spp. and Legionella spp. may persist in hospital water networks despite chemical disinfection. Point-of-use filtration represents a physical control measure that can be applied in high-risk areas t...

Antimicrobial activity of ceftazidime-avibactam and comparator agents when tested against bacterial isolates causing infection in cancer patients (2013-2014).

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease
We evaluated the antimicrobial susceptibility of 623 Gram-negative organisms causing infection in patients with cancer in 52 United States hospitals (2013-2014) as part of the International Network for Optimal Resistance Monitoring (INFORM) program. ...

Effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on sperm capacitation and protein phosphorylation of boar spermatozoa.

Theriogenology
Several studies have reported the detrimental effects that bacteriospermia causes on boar sperm quality, but little is known about its effects on IVC. Considering that, the present study sought to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of P...

Application of the multifactor dimensionality reduction method in evaluation of the roles of multiple genes/enzymes in multidrug-resistant acquisition in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

Epidemiology and infection
Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA) infections are major threats to healthcare-associated infection control and the intrinsic molecular mechanisms of MDRPA are also unclear. We examined 348 isolates of P. aeruginosa, including 188 MDRP...

Accelerating antimicrobial stewardship: An AI-CDSS approach to combating multidrug-resistant pathogens in the era of increasing resistance.

Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry
OBJECTIVES: The World Health Organization has identified Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) as significant public health threats owing to high antibiotic resistance. Traditional antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods,...

Antimicrobial Activity and Biocompatibility of the Psidium cattleianum Extracts for Endodontic Purposes.

Brazilian dental journal
Psidium cattleianum (PC) has been displaying inhibitory effect against a variety of microorganisms, but this effect has not yet been tested against endodontic pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and biocompatib...

Unsupervised learning technique identifies bronchiectasis phenotypes with distinct clinical characteristics.

The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease
BACKGROUND: Unsupervised learning technique allows researchers to identify different phenotypes of diseases with complex manifestations.

GI-SVM: A sensitive method for predicting genomic islands based on unannotated sequence of a single genome.

Journal of bioinformatics and computational biology
Genomic islands (GIs) are clusters of functionally related genes acquired by lateral genetic transfer (LGT), and they are present in many bacterial genomes. GIs are extremely important for bacterial research, because they not only promote genome evol...
