    Notes: Abstract The genital mycoplasmas:Ureaplasma urealyticum andMycoplasma hominis have recently assumed an increasing importance as neonatal pathogens. The aim of the present survey was to determine the prevalence of infections with these organisms in preterm infants in two neonatal intensive care units in Israel. Among 99 preterm infants, 24 (24%) harboured mycoplasmas in their throats shortly after birth.U. urealyticum was the most common organism.M. hominis was isolated only from 3 infants. Six out of 27 (22%) mechanically ventilated infants secretedU. urealyticum in their lower airways. The rate of colonization was inversely correlated with gestational age; 80% of infants younger than 28 weeks gestation were found to be colonized as opposed to 17.9% at 28–36 weeks of gestation. No mycoplasmas were isolated in blood cultures drawn from 146 infants and CSF cultures obtained from 47 preterm infants. Neonatal mortality, respiratory complications and intraventricular haemorrhage grade 3–4 were significantly increased in colonized infants. However, above gestational age of 27 weeks, colonization with mycoplasmas was not associated with a worse prognosis. We conclude that colonization withU. urealyticum is common in Israeli preterm infants, correlates inversely with gestational age and has no detrimental effect on neonatal morbidity and mortality of infants older than 27 wks of gestation.

    Corynebacterium CDC Group A-4 native valve endocarditis (1991)

    Notes: Abstract A patient with endocarditis caused byCorynebacterium CDC Group A-4 is described. This is the first case in the literature of endocarditis caused by this bacteria, and is unique in that the patient was immune competent and the infection occurred on a native valve. This case illustrates that corynebacteria cannot be considered a contaminant and that the exact pathogen should be identified.

    Isolation of chlamydia trachomatis from prostatic tissue of patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy (1991)

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Chlamydia trachomatis wurde aus drei von 100 Prostatageweben isoliert, die anläßlich von transurethraler Prostataresektion gewonnen wurden. Keiner der Patienten hatte Symptome einer Entzündung der Urethra oder Prostata. Unsere Befunde stehen in Übereinstimmung mit der hohen Inzidenz asymptomatischer Infektionen des unteren Genitaltraktes durch Chlamydien und der zunehmenden Beweislast, daßC. trachomatis Infektionen der Prostata verursachen kann.
    Notes: Summary Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from three of 100 prostatic tissue specimens obtained from patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate. All examined patients were free from symptoms of urethral or prostatic inflammation. Our findings are in accordance with the high incidence of asymptomatic chlamydial infection of the lower genital tract and the increasing evidence thatC. trachomatis can cause infection of the prostate.

    Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by specific IgM antibodies using a new capture-enzyme-immunoassay (1993)

    Notes: Abstract A total of 1226 sera from 1055 patients with respiratory tract infections were tested. IgM antibodies were detected by an antibody-capture enzyme-immunoassay (Mp TEST, Diatech Diagnostica Ltd, Israel). Acute infection with IgM antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae was detected in 211 patients. Presence of IgM was closely associated to some or all pneumonia-related symptoms. Eighty-one of IgM-positive patients treated with tetracycline or erythromycin responded positively. Of the 211 patients, 63 (30%) had low levels and 23 (11%) had moderate levels of IgM antibodies already in the first serum sample. In these 86 patients (41%) the complement fixation (CF) test was negative or very low positive. Thus in these cases, the CF test would have missed the early diagnosis in the first serum samples.

    IgA antichlamydia antibodies as a diagnostic tool for monitoring of active chlamydial infection (1992)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract Chlamydia trachomatis isolation in culture is the best means of chlamydial infection diagnosis. Antichlamydial antibodies, if present, may also serve as diagnostic markers. In eleven patients with positive C. trachomatis culture and serological positive response, specific IgA and IgG antibody titers were measured before and after treatment. In all cases, cultures became negative after treatment and IgA titers decreased rapidly, while IgG levels remained high. Thus, presence of specific IgA antibodies in a single sample may serve as a diagnostic tool for monitoring of active chlamydial infection.

    Patterns of multiple resistance to antibiotics in gram-negative bacteria demonstrated by factor analysis (1992)
    Springer
    European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases 11 (1992), S. 782-788 
    Details
    ISSN: 1435-4373
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Principal component analysis was used to demonstrate the main associations between patterns of resistance to antibiotic drugs in 670 gram-negative bacteria consecutively isolated from blood cultures over a period of two years. Six factors were derived, which accounted for 84 % of the total variance of the original matrix. Each factor represented an association between resistance to certain antibiotics as follows: factor 1: aztreonam, third generation cephalosporins and aminoglycosides; factor 2: first and second generation cephalosporins; factor 3: tetracycline and chloramphenicol; factor 4: ampicillin and ureidopenicillins; factor 5: trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole; factor 6: fluoroquinolones. On two-way analysis of variance the difference in the factor scores was significant between bacteria for all factors except factor 5. The difference in factor scores between community and hospital acquired strains was significant only for factors 1, 2 and 6. Only the score of factor 6 showed a clear trend to increase with time during the two-year study period. Patients who were treated with antibiotics prior to bacteremia had higher scores for all factors, the difference being most marked in patients treated with fluoroquinolones. Factor analysis can be used to describe phenotypic associations between resistance to antibiotics, and the factor score used to compare groups of isolates and to demonstrate temporal and other trends.
