Physical Activity and Eating Habits of Polish Navy Soldiers and Border Guard Officers-A Comparative Analysis.

Background: Physical fitness and a healthy body mass are important predictors of a good performance of military tasks. The purpose of this study was to assess the physical activity level and nutrition, in terms of the frequency of consumption of individual food groups, of Polish Navy soldiers and Maritime Unit of the Border Guard officers.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 131 Polish Navy soldiers aged 33.

Antibiotic sensitivity of environmental Legionella pneumophila strains isolated in Poland.

Introduction And Objective: Legionella bacteria are commonly found in natural aquatic environments such as rivers, lakes, ponds and hot springs. Legionella infection occurs through the inhalation of water-air aerosol generated, for example, by showers or hot tubs. The most common species responsible for infection is Legionella pneumophila, which can cause Pontiac fever, and Legionnaires' disease, as well as a rare extrapulmonary form.

[Latent tuberculosis infection in the Polish prison staff].

Background: Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by acid-fast mycobacteria from the group. The disease spreads when people with pulmonary tuberculosis excrete bacteria when they cough, sneeze, laugh or speak. Prisons are often called reservoirs of patients with tuberculosis, posing a great threat to their staff.

Assessment of antibiotic susceptibility of Legionella pneumophila isolated from water systems in Poland.

Introduction And Objective: Several studies have reported therapy failures in patients with legionnaires'disease; however, antimicrobial resistance of clinical and environmental isolates of Legionella spp. has not yet been documented. Routine susceptibility testing of Legionella spp.

Prevalence of Legionella pneumophila in water distribution systems in hospitals and public buildings of the Lublin region of eastern Poland.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of L. pneumophila in water supply systems, hospitals and public buildings in the Lublin region of eastern Poland.

Material And Methods: The study was carried out in 26 different objects in the Lublin region.

[The hazards of hospitals and selected public buildings of Legionella pneumophila].

Unlabelled: The registered infection and outbreaks of epidemic tend to monitor potential reservoirs of Legionella infection. According to the Act of 29 March 2007 on the requirements for the quality of water intended for human consumption are required to test for the presence and number of Legionella in the water system of hospitals. In case of detection of L.
