coli, Klebsiella spp., and Enterococcus spp. were each detected with high sensitivity (68%, 78%, 85%), specificity (99%, 99%, 99%), and accuracy (90%, 94%, 96%) at a resolution of 103 CFU/ml within 5 h. We further demonstrate how bioluminescence in urine can be used to ...
Klebsiella spp. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, encapsulated, rod-shaped bacillus present within the nasopharynx and gastrointestinal tract of humans and nonhuman primates. This bacterium has been associated with meningitis along with peritonitis, septicemia, and pneumonia in both New...
(Pathology) inflammation of one or both lungs, in which the air sacs (alveoli) become filled with liquid, which renders them useless for breathing. It is usually caused by bacterial (esp pneumococcal) or viral infection [C17: New Latin from Greek frompneumōnlung] ...
His urine output was satisfactory throughout the course. Serum potassium went up to 6.1 mmol/L and was managed medically. An ultrasound scan of his abdomen revealed a large ill-defined hypoechoic lesion suggestive of a liver abscess in the right lobe of his liver, at segments VII and ...
Klebsiella spp. were identified more frequently in patients hospitalized in ICU (2021: 28,74%; 2022: 40,43%), Internal Diseases (2021: 24,8%; 2022: 15,55%) and General Surgery (2021: 7,87%; 2022: 7,82%) wards being isolated in higher percentages from u...
This strain was isolated from the urine sample of a 52-year-old male patient who experienced a community-acquired infection and exposed antibiotics within 90 days. The urinary catheter and gastrostomy tube were indwelled within the patient who presented with various underlying diseases (CCI =...
A broth medium for the detection of Klebsiella, specifically Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter in urine. The medium employs 3-(. alpha.-acetonylbenzyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin and 2,4 dinitro-phenyl hydrazone of &agr;-Ketoglutoric acid to inhibit growth of Escherichia Coli organisms and to promot...
Klesiella spp. isolated from stool sample was more multi-drug resistance (87.75%) followed by those from wound (77.55%), sputum (73.47%), high vaginal swab (69.39%), urine (65.30%) and lastly ear sample (48.98). Based on our findings, Klebsiella spp. in the study area is multidrug-...
In this collection, 61.7% (63/102) and 38.2% (39/102) of hvKp strains were isolated from hospital A and B, respectively. Most of hvKp isolates were obtained from urine (33.3%, 34/102), followed by tracheal aspiration (27.5%, 28/102), blood (9.8%, 10/102) and abscess (7.8%, 8...
in the mice infection model. Notably, these factors are also prevalent in strains from the same infections in humans. However, the type and quantity of virulence factors may vary between strains, which defines the degree of pathogenicity. In this review, we summarize the main virulence factors ...
