Spatiotemporal and hotspot detection of U5-children diarrhea in resource-limited areas of Ethiopia.

Under-five children (U5-children) diarrhea is a significant public health threat, where the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported it as the second leading cause of children's death worldwide. Nearly 1.7 billion cases occur annually with varied temporal and spatial factors.

Arthrobacter woluwensis subacute infective endocarditis: case report and review of the literature.

We report a case of endocarditis due to Arthrobacter woluwensis and review the published reports of Arthrobacter species isolated from human clinical samples. A 39-year-old injection drug user presented with fever and a new heart murmur. A.

RecA and glnA sequences separate the bacteroides fragilis population into two genetic divisions associated with the antibiotic resistance genotypes cepA and cfiA.

The sequences of part of the glutamine synthetase-encoding gene (glnA) and of the RecA-encoding gene (recA) were determined and aligned for 45 Bacteroides fragilis isolates from different clinical and geographical origin. The patterns of sequence divergence of glnA and recA were very similar. The sequences of a 303-bp fraction of recA showed 45 nucleotide substitutions, 40 of which allowed the separation of B.

Population genetics of Helicobacter pylori in the southern part of Switzerland analysed by sequencing of four housekeeping genes (atpD, glnA, scoB and recA), and by vacA, cagA, iceA and IS605 genotyping.

The population biology of 78 Helicobacter pylori strains (71 from Swiss Italian, 4 from East Asian and 3 from South African patients) was investigated by sequence analysis of four housekeeping genes: atpD, scoB, glnA and recA. The vacA genotype, the presence of cagA and IS605, the iceA allelic type, and the resistance to metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxycillin were determined. A high percentage of DNA polymorphic sites (19.

Identification of two genetic groups in Bacteroides fragilis by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis: distribution of antibiotic resistance (cfiA, cepA) and enterotoxin (bft) encoding genes.

Ninety-three Bacteroides fragilis strains of different origin were analysed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE). Fourteen of the 15 genetic loci analysed were polymorphic, whilst nucleoside phosphorylase was monomorphic. There was a mean of six alleles per locus and a mean genetic diversity of 0.
