Phenotypic and Genotypic Detection of Hypervirulent Isolated from Hospital-Acquired Infections.

Hypervirulent is a highly pathogenic variant of , which represents a global public health issue because it is very virulent and spreads easily. The objectives of this study were to assess the predominance of hvKp among health care-associated infections in intensive care units of Tanta University Hospital and to compare hvKp with classical (cKp) in terms of antibiotic resistance, virulence, and molecular features. The study included 300 patients suffering from HAIs from different ICUs of Tanta University Hospitals.

Mycotic Aortic Aneurysm Secondary to Salmonella enterica Infection: A Case Report and Treatment Approach.

Mycotic (infected) aortic aneurysm is a severe clinical condition with high morbidity and mortality. spp. is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that is typically limited to the gastrointestinal tract and resolves spontaneously but can progress to invasive infections such as bacteremia.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Methicillin Resistance in Isolated from an Egyptian University Hospital.

Methicillin-resistant in is a serious public health issue. It is mostly encoded by the gene. The gene is a new analog responsible for resistance to methicillin in some clinical isolates.

Genotypic Characterization of Carbapenem-Resistant Isolated from an Egyptian University Hospital.

Globally, () has been identified as a serious source of infections. The objectives of our study were to investigate the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) in Tanta University Hospitals, Gharbia Governorate, Egypt; characterize their carbapenem resistance profiles; and identify their different capsular serotypes. We identified and isolated 160 (32%) from 500 different clinical samples, performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and then used multiplex PCR to detect carbapenemase genes and capsular serotypes K1, K2, K3, K5, K20, K54, and K57.

Evaluation of admission levels of P, E and L selectins as predictors for thrombosis in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Thromboembolic complications are the most reported cause of death in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Hypercoagulability, platelets activation and endotheliopathy are well-recognized features in COVID-19 patients. The aim of this work was to evaluate circulating soluble selectins P, E and L at the time of hospital admission as predictors for upcoming thrombosis.

Identification of serum interleukin-13 and interleukin-13 receptor subunit expressions: Rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease.

Aim Of The Work: To identify the role of serum IL-13, and its receptor subunit expressions as a serologic marker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated ILD (RA-ILD).

Patients And Methods: Fifty RA patients with ILD and 50 RA patients without ILD were examined, in addition to 50 controls. Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS-28), the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and medication history were evaluated.
