A nephrologist dream of peritoneal dialysis catheter with zero migration: A multicenter prospective study.

Introduction: PD catheter tip migration is a common complication and a significant cause of catheter malfunction. In this perspective, we present our experience with a new catheter and a new technique that involves the use of a new triple cuff PD catheter and a low entry site in an attempt to prevent PD catheter migration.

Methods: A total of 503 incident PD patients have been studied in more than one PD center over a period of 5 years.

Isolation, characterization, and application of lytic bacteriophages for controlling Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) in pasteurized milk and yogurt.

Reducing bacterial pathogen contamination not only improves overall global public health but also diminishes food waste and loss. The use of lytic bacteriophages (phages) that infect and kill bacteria could be a beneficial tool for suppressing bacterial growth during dairy products storage time. Four Enterobacter cloacae (E.

Isolation and Characterization of Two Lytic Bacteriophages Infecting a Multi-Drug Resistant Typhimurium and Their Efficacy to Combat Salmonellosis in Ready-to-Use Foods.

Foodborne salmonellosis is a global threat to public health. In the current study, we describe the isolation and characterization of two broad-spectrum, lytic phages: SPHG1 and SPHG3 infecting a multidrug-resistant Typhimurium EG.SmT3.

Sequencing, genome analysis and host range of a novel Ralstonia phage, RsoP1EGY, isolated in Egypt.

A novel Ralstonia phage was isolated from soil in Egypt. It was designated Ralstonia phage RsoP1EGY using our phage identifier naming approach to reflect the phage's bacterial host species, characteristics and origin. When tested, this phage specifically infected only race 3 biovar 2 phylotype IIB sequevar 1, and not non-race 3 biovar 2 strains of Ralstonia solanacearum.
