To help establish utility of surrogate markers of serious bacterial infection in the post-pneumococcal vaccination era, investigators compared the diagnostic properties of these markers and clinical evaluation for detecting SBIs.Contemporary Pediatrics Staff...
A throat culture is a test that may help find the type of germ causing your illness. A throat culture is done by rubbing a cotton swab against the back of the throat.How is bacterial meningitis treated?Antibiotics help treat a bacterial infection. Steroids decrease redness, pain, and swelling...
bacterial overgrowth. Other factors include: alterations in systemicimmunology(e.g. isolatedimmunoglobinA deficiency,hypogammaglobulinaemia,combined immune deficiency, infection with human immunodeficiency virus); impaired motility (e.g. advanced age,autonomic neuropathyin diabetes,fibrosisin scleroderma);...
If your doctor thinks you have a viral infection, you might need an X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan to see how your illness is affecting your body. Scans and X-rays can't identify a viral infection, however. To do that, your health care provider may ask a lab to look for the...

If there are no bacteria recovered in the wound specimen, then there may not be a bacterial infection, or the pathogen was not successfully recovered with the sample and test. Is there anything else I should know? With burn wounds, the type and number of bacteria that grow are correlated ...
Therefore, use of a single test at a single time point is insufficient for a diagnosis. Another difficulty is that left shift has been observed in a number of instances where bacterial infection was absent [3]. This can make diagnosis of bacterial infection difficult when left shift is ...
(Table2, Additional file2: Table S10). These genomes were fromE. colistrains isolated from the bladders of 12 asymptomatic controls and 174 symptomatic individuals who were diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI,n = 127), recurrent UTI (RUTI,n = 14), overactive bladder (...
Bacteria have developed various defense mechanisms to avoid infection and killing in response to the fast evolution and turnover of viruses and other genetic parasites. Such pan-immune system (defensome) encompasses a growing number of defense lines that
Because of the good effect of antibiotics in promoting growth and preventing infection, large amounts of antimicrobial agents are still being used in modern swine production around the world. This, in turn, would facilitate the emergence and development of antimicrobial resistance. So, it is very ...
