Risk of Acquiring Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing Klebsiella Species and Escherichia coli from Prior Room Occupants in the Intensive Care Unit

Creator:: Ajao, Adebola O., Johnson, J. Kristie, Harris, Anthony D., Zhan, Min, McGregor, Jessina C., Thom, Kerri A., and Furuno, Jon P.
Abstract:: OBJECTIVE. To quantify the association between admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) room most recently occupied by a patient positive for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (EBSL)-producing gram-negative bacteria and acquisition of infection or colonization with that pathogen. DESIGN. Retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND PATIENTS. The study included patients admitted to medical...

Survival Assessment, Inactivation Kinetics Models, and Farm-to-Table Quantitative Risk Analysis of Food Pathogens

Creator:: Deng, Kai
Abstract:: About 48 million cases of Foodborne illnesses (FBIs) are estimated to occur every year in the US. These are diseases caused by contamination of foods with bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and toxic chemicals. Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are an important health-care and community associated problem. Since C. difficile spores have...

Systemic bacterial infections in broiler chickens

Creator:: Awan, Mohammad Arif
Abstract:: In broiler operations, various health problems develop during the final two weeks of the growing period, resulting in increased mortality and condemnation losses. At this stage, sickly birds were found to be systemically infected by various bacteria regardless of varied clinical signs. The main objective of the present study was...

Effectiveness of an Antimicrobial Polymer to Decrease Contamination of Environmental Surfaces in the Clinical Setting

Creator:: Thom, Kerri A., Standiford, Harold C., Johnson, J. Kristie, Hanna, Nader, and Furuno, Jon P.
Abstract:: We performed a real-world, controlled intervention to investigate use of an antimicrobial surface polymer, MSDS Poly, on environmental contamination. Pathogenic bacteria were identified in 18 (90%) of 20 observations in treated rooms and 19 (83%) of 23 observations in untreated rooms (P = .67). MSDS Poly had no significant effect...

Identifying Differences in the Release of Bioactive Milk Peptides Across the Intestinal Tract Between Term and Preterm Infants

Creator:: Beverly, Robert L.
Abstract:: Premature birth interrupts the typical development of the human fetus, leaving the infant born with underdeveloped gastrointestinal and immune systems. Preterm infants have reduced stomach acidity, reduced digestive protease activity, more permeable intestinal membranes, impaired innate and adaptive immune response, and poor microbiome development. Due to these factors, preterm infants...

Biosynthetic engineering of new pactamycins

Creator:: Lu, Wanli
Abstract:: Among the myriad of naturally occurring bioactive compounds are the aminocyclopentitol-containing natural products that represent a family of sugar-derived microbial secondary metabolites, such as the antibiotics pactamycin, allosamidin, and trehazolin. Pactamycin, a structurally unique aminocyclitol antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces pactum, consists of a 5-membered ring aminocyclitol (cyclopentitol) unit, two aromatic...

Deciphering the Function of New Gonorrhea Vaccine Candidates in Cell Envelope Homeostasis

Creator:: Baarda, Benjamin I.
Abstract:: Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the sexually transmitted pathogen responsible for millions of cases of gonorrhea worldwide each year. Rapidly-spreading antibiotic resistance is diminishing the ability to effectively treat a disease with significant consequences to female and male reproductive health, as well as to neonatal well-being. A protective vaccine has the potential...

Disease models and infectious phenotypes of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis

Creator:: Everman, Jamie L.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne's disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects ruminant populations worldwide. The characteristic stages of the disease make diagnosis difficult, resulting in silent transmission among animals in a herd for years before proper detection of the infection. The extensive...

A comparison of watershed contamination between a sewered and an unsewered community

Creator:: Maritim, Gabriel Kipngeno, 1950-
Abstract:: In 1968, a study conducted by the sanitarians of the State Health Division and Benton County Health Department revealed a high failure rate of on-site sewage disposal systems in Southwest Corvallis. The survey team concluded that sewage disposal in this area was inadequate, and a significant health hazard existed due...
