Disease relevance of pre

  • The in vivo studies showed that when CVCs were pre-treated with BMAP-28 or with a high dose of antibiotics, biofilm bacterial load was reduced from 10(7) to 10(3) CFU/mL and bacteremia reduced from 10(3) to 10(1) CFU/mL [1].
  • Gender differences in infective endocarditis: pre- and co-morbid conditions lead to different management and outcomes in female patients [2].
  • In conclusion, differences between genders in treatment and outcomes frequently reported in patients with IE most likely result from pre- and co-existing conditions such as diabetes mellitus, renal failure requiring hemodialysis, and chronic immunosuppression [2].
  • The epidemiologic landscape of causative pathogens and clinical characteristics of bacterial meningitis varies with several clinical factors including preceding/pre-existent medical and/or surgical conditions, modes of contraction, geographic distributions, status of vaccinations, the study time periods and differences among age groups [3].
  • In adults, a hematogenous spread to a pre-existing altered thyroid gland is often the postulated pathogenetic mechanism, and it is exceedingly rare in the United States. We report the case of an 81-yr-old woman with acute suppurative thyroiditis secondary to Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection [4].
 

High impact information on pre

  • Post-exposure gentamicin MIC values were within one tube dilution of the pre-exposure MIC value (0.25 mg/L) [5].
  • These pre-incubated bacteria were phagocytosed by neutrophils at an increased level in vitro in a mouse model [6].
  • However, pSES22 was similar to several members of a diverse group of small plasmids, all of which carried closely related plasmid backbones consisting of the genes repU and pre/mob, but differed in their resistance genes [7].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of pre

  • The value of pre-operative aspiration in the diagnosis of an infected prosthetic knee: a retrospective study and review of literature [8].
