Overview of Bacterial Infections in ChildhoodGeoffrey A. Weinberg, MD
Lack of bacterial adhesion could per se implicate a reduction of surface infectability of certain medical devices such as catheters. Differently, injectable or implantable biomaterials designed to control pre-existing infections are required to exert a powerful bactericidal action, not just at the ...
Bacterial Infections: Overview S.Doron,S.L.Gorbach, inInternational Encyclopedia of Public Health, 2008 Culture A basicmicrobiologylaboratory is generally able toculture bacteriafrom blood,sputum, and urine, but with the right materials any body fluid or tissue can be processed for culture. Specimens...

Infections during pregnancy can be associated with devastating consequences to the pregnant mother and developing fetus. Vertical transmission, defined as infection of the fetus from the maternal host, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnancy. In some cases, bacterial, viral and paras...
and physiological functions involved in the growth and development of the host. Within the underlying defense signaling network against bacterial infections, plants have a two-tiered innate immune system, called MAMP-triggered immunity (MTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Moreover, the plant ...
Preventing Orthopaedic Implant-Associated Infections: the Sheep as an Animal Model Traumatology and orthopedic surgery can benefit from the use of efficient local antibiotic-eluting systems to avoid bacterial contamination of implanted materials. In this work a new percutaneous porous-wall hollow implant ...
Infectious diseases affecting the eye often cause unilateral or asymmetric visual loss in children and people of working age. This group of conditions includes viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases, both common and rare presentations which, in aggregate, may account for a significant portion...
During the past 60 years, since the introduction of the penicillins, much has been learned about drug resistance, bacterial virulence, and the treatment of infections. Sequencing of bacterial genomes has made it possible to characterize these organisms more precisely, and has provided new insights ...
It is worthwhile remembering that even the largest viral genomes are small compared to the size of the bacterial genome (2000kb) and miniscule compared to the size of the human genome (2 × 106kb). There are other subcellular infectious agents that are even “smaller” than viruses. These ...
