Use of Cepheid Xpert Carba-R® for Rapid Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Bacteria in Abdominal Septic Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Unit.

2016

Abstract Early institution of effective antibiotic therapy and source control are pivotal to improve survival of abdominal septic patients. Xpert® Carba-R is a real time polymerase chain reaction assay for rapid detection and differentiation of five genes (blaKPC, blaVIM, blaOXA-48, blaIMP-1, blaNDM) responsible for carbapenem resistance. We performed an observational study investigating the clinical usefulness and applicability of Xpert® Carba-R to detect carbapenem resistance in abdominal septic patients admitted to intensive care unit. We compared the results of Xpert® Carba-R with standard microbiological culture. We collected a set of two rectal/stomia swabs and two swabs from abdomina…

Resilienza al cambiamento climatico delle foreste mediterranee

2015

Gli ecosistemi forestali e pre-forestali della Sicilia sono caratterizzati da semplificazione e fragilità strutturale che potrebbero aumentare per effetto dei cambiamenti climatici in atto. In questo contesto si inserisce il Progetto LIFE11+ Resilformed che vede coinvolti il Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie e Forestali dell’Università di Palermo, la D.R.E.Am Italia, il Corpo Forestale della Regione Siciliana ed il Dipartimento dello Sviluppo Rurale e Territoriale della Regione Siciliana in qualità di capofila. L’obiettivo generale del progetto è individuare opportuni interventi per salvaguardare i sistemi forestali mediterranei dai rischi derivanti dai cambiamenti climatici, aumentandone sta…
