[Antibiotic resistance in nontyphoidal salmonellae serovars in the Czech Republic].

Study Aim: To determine antibiotic resistance and incidence of multidrug resistance among Nontyphoidal salmonellae serovars isolated from humans.

Material And Methods: Consecutive Salmonella isolates from patients, recovered in 48 microbiology laboratories in May 2012, were analyzed in the respective reference laboratories at the National Institute of Public Health. Strains were re-identified and differentiated into serovars.

[Invasive candidiasis in selected heamatology departments in the Czech Republic and Slovakia - microbiological results of the CAN CELL project].

Background: The aim of our study was to analyze the spectrum and characteristic of invasive candidiasis in selected haematological departments in the Czech and Slovak Republics, and to compare minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of some antifungal agents for isolates obtained.

Material And Methods: Between 1 March 2009 and 31 October 2010, Candida strains from clinically important material obtained from patients with haematological malignancies were collected. Each isolate was biochemically identified and tested for in vitro susceptibility to three known echinocandins and amphotericin B and selected azoles using the E-test.

[Infectious complications of surgically treated musculoskeletal injuries: review of risk factors and etiological agents in years 2000-2005].

Purpose: Infection is considered one of the most serious complications of the surgical treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. The aim of the study was to evaluate known risk factors and etiological agents of infectious complications in patients surgically treated for musculoskeletal injuries within 6 years.

Methods: In a group of 5 234 patients followed in 2000-2005 the early or delayed infectious complication developed in 65 patients (26 women, 39 men, age 22-83 years).

Bacteriological monitoring in the Prague Burns Center.

The microbiological aspect of the prevention of nosocomial infections at the Burn Center consists primarily in the surveillance of bacterial flora and its antibiotical resistance. The Prague Burn Center is regularly monitoring the microbial flora. Patients are examined not only by the conventional methods of taking swabs of burned sites, but also by printing method, which allows a semiquantitative assessment of the colonization of burned areas.
