PREVALENCE OF ENTEROTOXIN-ENCODING GENES AND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN COAGULASE-NEGATIVE AND COAGULASE-POSITIVE STAPHYLOCOCCUS ISOLATES FROM BLACK PUDDING

INTRODUCTION: Staphylococcal species are pathogens that are responsible for outbreaks of foodborne diseases.The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of enterotoxin-genes and the antimicrobial resistance profile in staphylococcus coagulase-negative (CoNS) and coagulasepositive (CoPS) isolates from black pudding in southern Brazil.METH

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the synovial joints.Though the current RA therapeutics such as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and biologics can halt the progression of the disease, none of these would either dramatically reduce or cure RA.So, the identific

Abstract Background There has been a significant improvement in survival of advanced malignancies with the advent of checkpoint inhibitors.These newer treatment modalities come with a wide spectrum of unique side effects, termed immune related adverse events (irAE), ranging from mild skin rash to severe colitis.Included in that spectrum is the rare

The analysis and evaluation of parental competences is a central task for the Social Services and specifically for those services targeted at families living in psychosocial risk Warranty circumstances.The evaluation of parental competence can be used, among others motives, to take support measures to the family or even to determine if it is necess

Myelosuppression, a potential adverse reaction of nafcillin and rifampin, is rarely documented in pediatric populations.The objective of this study is to describe the incidence of myelosuppression in pediatric patients receiving nafcillin or a combination of nafcillin and rifampin therapy.This retrospective chart review identified patients who rece
