The efficiency of choosing antibiotics using two methods was analyzed. The first method is based on standard laboratory analysis including isolation of pure cultures of prospective agent and detection of their individual sensitivity to antibiotics. The second method is based on a new express-technique permitting to simultaneously evaluate effect of pharmaceuticals on cultivated and not cultivated yet bacteria without isolation of pure cultures. At that, the second method permits to determine efficiency of antibiotics namely in those concentrations that can be made in the given nidus of infection. The study demonstrated existence of discrepancy between results obtained by using the given methods. The cause of discrepancy can be presence of not cultivated yet bacteria in pathologic sample. In favor of this assumption testify the received data concerning samples from patients where were presented a significant number of spore-former bacteria having additional mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics. Furthermore, the implemented study established antibiotics characterized by the greatest discrepancy of results obtained by applied methods that indicates the necessity of revision of schemes of implementation of start or empiric therapy.

To investigate the bacterial community structure and physicochemical characteristics of different types of Daqu in the Binzhou region, this study employed traditional pure culture methods, high-throughput sequencing technology, and conventional physicochemical assays for analysis. The research results indicate that Enterococcus faecium and Bacillus licheniformis emerged as the main LAB and Bacillus species in Daqu from Binzhou region, respectively. In addition, high-throughput sequencing revealed significant differences in bacterial community structure between the two types of Daqu (P < 0.

Molecular Characterization of Gene Encoding Outer Membrane Protein in Pathogenic Serovars in Iran.

J Trop Med

December 2024

Department of Microbiology, Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization (AREEO), Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute, Karaj, Iran.

The protein is highly conserved among pathogenic serovars and it is expressed during both acute and chronic infections. The aim of this study was to clone and sequence of the protein-encoding gene of serovars. In this study, 23 pathogenic serovars and two nonpathogenic serovars were used.

Isolated foot drop is a neurological sign frequently linked to lower motor neuron (LMN) lesions, including peroneal nerve damage or L4-L5 radiculopathy. Nonetheless, upper motor neuron (UMN) lesions, such as strokes or tumors located in the parasagittal motor cortex, may sometimes manifest as isolated foot drops. The main causes of isolated foot drop secondary to central etiologies are uncommon, with few instances documented in the literature.

Enhancing Stability and Activity of Fe-based Catalysts for Propane Dehydrogenation via Anchoring Isolated Fe-Cl Sites.

ChemSusChem

January 2025

Beijing Jiaotong University, School of Science, School of Science, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, 100044, P. R. China, 100044, Beijing, CHINA.

The eco-friendly features and desirable catalytic activities of Fe-based catalysts make them highly promising for propane dehydrogenation (PDH). However, simultaneously improving their stability and activity remains a challenge. Here, we present a strategy to address these issues synergistically by anchoring single-atom Fe-Cl sites in Al3+ vacancies of Al2O3.

The effective prevention and treatment of anastomotic leakage after intestinal anastomosis for colorectal diseases is still a major clinical challenge. In order to assist intestinal anastomosis healing and avoid anastomotic leakage caused by high tension, low blood supply or infection, we designed a double-layer nanofiber intestinal anastomosis scaffold, which was composed of electrospun PTMC/PHA nanofibers as the main layer, and electrospun PVA/OHA-Gs nanofibers with antibacterial properties as the antibacterial surface layer. This double-layer scaffold has good toughness, its maximum tensile force value could reach 8 N, elongation could reach 400 %, and it has hydrophilic properties, and its contact angle was about 60°.
