Results from the Survey of Antibiotic Resistance (SOAR) 2016-17 in Ukraine: data based on CLSI, EUCAST (dose-specific) and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) breakpoints.

Objectives: To determine antibiotic susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae isolates from community-acquired respiratory tract infections (CA-RTIs) collected in 2016-17 from Ukraine.

Methods: MICs were determined by CLSI broth microdilution and susceptibility was assessed using CLSI, EUCAST (dose-specific) and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) breakpoints.

Results: A total of 177 viable clinical isolates, including 78 S.

Results from the Survey of Antibiotic Resistance (SOAR) 2014-16 in Ukraine and the Slovak Republic.

Objectives: To determine antibiotic susceptibility in isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae collected in 2014-16 from Ukraine and the Slovak Republic.

Methods: MICs were determined by CLSI broth microdilution and susceptibility was assessed using CLSI, EUCAST and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) breakpoints.

Results: S.

Results from the Survey of Antibiotic Resistance (SOAR) 2011-13 in Ukraine.

Objectives: To determine the antibiotic susceptibility of respiratory isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae collected in 2011-13 from Ukraine.

Methods: MICs were determined by CLSI broth microdilution and susceptibility was assessed using CLSI, EUCAST and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) breakpoints.

Results: A total of 134 isolates of S.

Andreev level qubit.

We investigate the dynamics of a two-level Andreev bound state system in a transmissive quantum point contact embedded in an rf SQUID. Coherent coupling of the Andreev levels to the circulating supercurrent allows manipulation and readout of the level states. The two-level Hamiltonian for the Andreev levels is derived, and the effect of interaction with the quantum fluctuations of the induced flux is studied.

[The effect of leukinferon on the activity of phagocytosing cells in human salmonellosis].

The functional activity of phagocytic cells in 52 salmonellosis patients was studied with regard to the following characteristics: percent share of phagocytosis, phagocytic index, nitro blue tetrazolium test results, digestive activity. In patients with the unfavorable course of salmonellosis (the formation of carrier state) disturbances in the bactericidal activity of neutrophils and monocytes were established. For 32 patients leukinferon was included in the complex of etiotropic and pathogenetic treatment.

[Changes in the bactericidal activity of macrophages from mice with various degrees of resistance to Salmonella typhimurium infection as affected by interferon].

The bactericidal activity of mouse macrophages with different sensitivity to Salmonella infection has been studied. The sensitivity of BALB/c mice to S. typhimurium infection is associated with the low bactericidal activity of their macrophages.
