We report an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) generator pocket infection by a Carbapenem Resistant Klebsiella sp., in a young male patient, whose challenging diagnosis of certainty was only possible after surgical exploration and culture of the material from the ICD pocket, given the oligo...
Extrahepatic metastatic infection is a devastating complication for KP-PLA patients. Metastatic KP-PLA patients were in relatively severe conditions and more often admitted to ICU, but even so, about 20% patients still died eventually. To eliminate the effect of variation in demographic composition of...
Sepsis is an uncontrolled reaction of the body to an infection, and if not effectively treated, it can progress to septic shock, multiple organ failure, and ultimately, death. Objective: To determine the resistance profile ofEscherichia coli(E. coli) andKlebsiella pneumoniae(K. pneumoniae) strains...
In addition to direct killing of pathogens, they can also help recruit immune cells to the site of infection and neutralize the pro-inflammatory effects of endotoxins. They have multimodal killing mechanisms, involving interaction with bacterial components different to those targeted by conventional ...

The final volume was 1.0 mL and the multiplicity of infection was 10:1. Each tube was incubated in a shaking water bath at 37 ◦C and transferred to an ice bath at a designated time point. A FACScan emitting an argon laser beam at 488 nm was used to detect FITC fluorescence. A ...
