Plasmid-mediated QnrS2 determinant from a clinical Aeromonas veronii isolate.

2008

The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of the Qnr determinants in clinical and environmental Aeromonas spp. A total of 52 Aeromonas sp. isolates identified by biochemical methods (5), 25 isolated from natural waters (1) and 27 isolated from clinical samples from hospitals in Valencia, Spain, were tested for quinolone resistance by the disk diffusion method (4) (nalidixic acid, 30 μg; oxolinic acid, 2 μg; flumequine, 30 μg; ciprofloxacin, 5 μg; and levofloxacin, 5 μg). Among the studied isolates, 27 showed resistance to nalidixic acid and susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, 24 isolates were susceptible to both nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin, and only 1, the A. veroni…

Best practice in research – Overcoming common challenges in phytopharmacological research

2019

Abstract Background The pharmacology, toxicology and pharmacokinetics of bioactive preparations derived from natural sources has become a flourishing field of research. However, researching complex extracts and natural products faces numerous challenges. More broadly in recent years the critique of pharmacological research, and specifically its design, the methods used and reporting has intensified. Aims This consensus document provides a perspective on what constitutes best practice in pharmacological research on bioactive preparations derived from natural sources, providing a perspective of what the leading specialist journals in the field consider as the core characteristics of good rese…

Louseborne relapsing fever in young migrants, sicily, Italy, july-september 2015

2016

To the Editor: During the early 20th century, at the end of World War I, and during World War II, louseborne relapsing fever (LBRF) caused by Borrelia recurrentis was a major public health problem, especially in eastern Europe and northern Africa (1,2). Currently, poor living conditions, famine, war, and refugee camps are major risk factors for epidemics of LBRF in resource-poor countries, such as those in the Horn of Africa (3,4). Increased migration from resource-poor countries and war/violence create new routes for spread of vectorborne diseases. Recently, several cases of LBRF have been reported among asylum seekers from Eritrea in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany (5–8). All of…

Spectrum of pncA Mutations in Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates Obtained in Latvia

2004

Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an effective antituberculous agent ([1][1]) that becomes active when bacterial pyrazinamidase converts it to pyrazinoic acid, which is toxic to mycobacteria ([4][2]). In Mycobacerium tuberculosis , PZA resistance is associated with the loss of pyrazinamidase activity, mainly
