    Notes: Abstract In order to determine the incidence of viral contamination of environmental surfaces in a hospital in Saudi Arabia. A 6-month prospective study was carried out on a general paediatric ward in which both enteric and respiratory viruses were screened. Weekly samples were taken between August 1993–February 1994. A total of 155 samples were taken in which 11 (7%) tested positive for rotavirus. No other viruses were detected. Internal and external temperatures were monitored and an increase in rotavirus incidence was noted with decrease in temperature. Rotavirus was detected on surfaces involving human activity (toilet handles, televisions, toys and vital signs chart). One patient had rotavirus on his hands but no staff were found to carry rotavirus. Further contamination of environmental surfaces (9%) was detected during an increased incidence of rotavirus infection. A proper programme of disinfection and handwashing is essential in order to eliminate this mode of transmission.

    Notes: Abstract The antibacterial activity of the new fluoroquinolone rufloxacin (MF 934) was evaluated against 1095 clinical isolates and compared with that of other quinolones and various commonly used antibiotics. Rufloxacin was highly effective against members of theEnterobacteriaceae, inhibiting 98 % of the isolates at a concentration of 1 mg/l. Ninety-two percent ofAeromonas hydrophila and 65 %Acinetobacter strains tested were inhibited by 1 mg/l of rufloxacin, whereas 98 % of methicillin-susceptible and 87 % of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus strains and 76 % of coagulase-negative staphylococci strains required 4 mg/l for growth inhibition. The MIC values of rufloxacin for most bacteria were 4–16 times higher than those of ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin. Rufloxacin had little activity against xanthomonads, pseudomonads and enterococci. Approximately 95–96 % of isolates ofPseudomonas aeruginosa were inhibited by 2 mg/l of ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin as compared to 29 % inhibited by rufloxacin at this concentration.

    Notes: High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a TSK-4000SW gel filtration column was used to compare envelope polypeptides from four strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The chromatographic profiles demonstrated polypeptide variability among three clinical strains and the wild-type F strain. Radioimmunoprecipitation of the HPLC fractions with polyclonal anti-HSV-1 followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of the immunoprecipitates revealed molecular weight differences of various polypeptides in fractions from the area containing major peaks. This HPLC method could prove useful for the analysis of polypeptide polymorphism in clinical isolates of HSV-1, as well as in other viruses.
