The lipase of Pseudomonas cepacia was immobilized onto electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers and used for the conversion of (S)-glycidol with vinyl n-butyrate to glycidyl n-butyrate in isooctane. The rate of reaction with the adsorbed lipase was 23-fold higher than the initial material. After 10 recyclings, the initial reaction rate was 80% of the original rate. This system of enzyme immobilization is therefore suitable for carrying out transesterification reactions in nonaqueous solvents.

Background And Objectives: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is the aftermath of aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions or stomach content. Mechanical ventilation and lowered immunity and consciousness facilitate the etiopathogenesis of SAP. Antibiotic prophylaxis and repeated culture and sensitivity testing dampen the drug susceptibility patterns of the pathogens.

Background: We analyzed the clinical distribution and the antibiotic susceptibility of pathogens for catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI) in the hospital retrospectively.

Methods: The clinical information and pathogens associated with CRBSI were collected from the Microbiology Laboratory of the hospital retrospectively from January 2017 to December 2021. Identification and the antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) were carried out with VITEK-2 Compact.
