Fungal endocarditis (FE) is commonly regarded as a rare but fatal disease. The incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) in hemodialysis (HD) patients is thought to be obviously higher than that in the general population. Moreover, IE occurs more likely in HD patients with catheters. With the increase of HD population and extensive use of catheters in HD patients, FE, as a special form of IE, may increase and bring new challenges to clinicians. We reported a case of FE associated with catheter infection in a 44‐year‐old woman on HD. The risk factors and treatment strategies of FE in HD patients were discussed.  相似文献

Necrotizing fasciitis is a lethal soft tissue infection for its rapid progression to septic shock. We present a 59‐year‐old male on chronic hemodialysis (HD). We made the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis of the right thigh due to the crepitus from physical examination and subcutaneous emphysema from an X film. He was successfully treated with antibiotics and surgical debridement. The blood and surgical drainage cultures showed Escherichia coli, which is less commonly seen in cutaneous infection. The colonoscopic finding revealed adenomatous polyps. Necrotizing fasciitis in patients on HD requires early diagnosis and aggressive treatment to ensure the favorable clinical outcomes.  相似文献

Chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients are predisposed to several complications associated with pleural effusion. In addition, uremia can directly cause pleuritis. However, there are inadequate data about pathogenesis and natural course of uremic pleuritis. In this study, 76 chronic HD patients with pleural effusion admitted to the Respiratory Center of Masih Daneshvari Hospital, in Tehran, Iran between June 2005 and May 2011 were evaluated to figure out the etiology of their pleural disease. Among these patients, patients with uremic pleuritis were identified and studied. The rate of uremic pleuritis was 23.7%. Other frequent etiologies of pleural effusion were parapneumonic effusion (23.7%), cardiac failure (19.7%), tuberculosis (6.6%), volume overload, malignancy, and unknown. In patients with uremic pleuritis, dyspnea was the most common symptom, followed by cough, weight loss, anorexia, chest pain, and fever. Compared to patients with parapneumonic effusion, patients with uremic effusion had a significantly higher rate of dyspnea and lower rate of cough and fever. Pleural fluid analysis showed that these patients had a significantly lower pleural to serum lactic dehydrogenase ratio, total pleural leukocytes, and polymorphonuclear count compared to patients with parapneumonic effusion. Improvement was achieved in 94.1% of patients with uremic pleuritis by continuation of HD, chest tube insertion or pleural decortication; an outcome better than the previous reports. Despite the association with an exudative effusion, inflammatory pleural reactions in patients with uremic pleuritis may not be as severe as infection‐induced effusions. Owing to the advancement in HD technology and other interventions, outcome of uremic pleuritis may be improved.  相似文献

纳米银对大肠杆菌的抗菌作用及其机制   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
以大肠杆菌为研究对象,对纳米银的抗菌效果进行了研究.并对其抗菌机制做了初步探讨.纳米银对大肠杆菌的抑制生长曲线的结果表明,20 μg/mL的纳米银能够完全抑制106 cfu/mL的大肠杆菌细胞生长,纳米银使大肠杆菌的延滞期加长,并且纳米银浓度越高,延滞期越长.采用透射电镜观察了经纳米银粒子处理过的大肠杆菌细胞形态变化过程,结果显示纳米银粒子先在细胞壁上产生小的孔洞,通过这些孔洞进入周质空间,导致细胞膜成分渗漏和破坏细胞膜,进而进入细胞内部.进入细胞内部的纳米银粒子使DNA浓缩呈紧张态,并与破损细菌的细胞质结合积聚,最后引起胞内物质流失.另外,纳米银对大肠杆菌总DNA影响的分析表明.随着纳米银浓度的增高,大肠杆菌总DNA样品降解的程度增大.  相似文献

用一种新的蛋白质纯化流程提纯由大肠杆菌表达的夏氏疟原虫AMA1片段。大肠杆菌表达的片段首先用镍柱提纯,提纯后的蛋白用DTT还原,对盐酸胍透析,再对空气氧化。用RP-HPLC对片段二次提纯,通过冻干转换缓冲液。SDS-PAGE、RP-HPLC和质谱分析都显示,经这种纯化流程提纯的蛋白有很高的纯度,且二硫键已完全正确形成。提示这一蛋白质纯化流程可用于由大肠杆菌表达的低分子量寡二硫键的蛋白。  相似文献

Iliopsoas abscess is a rare complication in hemodialysis patients that is mainly due to adjacent catheterization, local acupuncture, discitis, and bacteremia. Herein, we report a 47‐year‐old woman undergoing regular hemodialysis via a catheter in the internal jugular vein who presented with low back pain and dyspnea. A heart murmur suggested the presence of catheter‐related endocarditis, and this was confirmed by an echocardiogram and a blood culture of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus. A computed tomography indicated a pulmonary embolism and an incidental finding of iliopsoas abscess. Following surgical intervention and intravenous daptomycin, the patient experienced full recovery and a return to usual activities. This case indicates that an iliopsoas abscess can be related to a jugular vein catheter, which is apparently facilitated by infective endocarditis. The possibility of iliopsoas abscess should be considered when a hemodialysis patient presents with severe low back pain, even when there is no history of adjacent mechanical intervention.  相似文献

采用基因工程技术将编码大肠杆菌热敏肠毒素亚单位(LTB)基因和耐热肠毒素(ST)基因进行体外重组,得到的融合基因能在大肠杆菌中表达。重组菌株免疫动物后,均能诱发产生抗LT和ST抗体。实验结果表明,LT/ST融合蛋白不仅保持了LTB的免疫原性和与神经节甙酯GM1的结合能力,而且也赋予本来没有免疫原性的ST免疫原性,并极大地降低了ST的生物毒性,为构建理想的致腹泻大肠菌苗奠定了基础。  相似文献

Aiming at the overall negative surface charge of bacteria, a new strategy of antibacterial agents based on large polymer‐modified graphene oxide (GO) sheets is assessed. The presented flexible, polycationic sheets match the size and charge density of the Escherichia coli surface charge density (2 × 1014 cm−2). These matching parameters create an unspecific but very strong bacteria adsorber by multivalent, electrostatic attraction. Their interaction with bacteria is visualized via atomic force and confocal microscopy and shows that they effectively bind and wrap around E. coli cells, and thereby immobilize them. The incubation of Gram‐negative and ‐positive bacteria (E. coli and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA) with these polycationic sheets leads to the inhibition of proliferation and a reduction of the colony forming bacteria over time. This new type of antibacterial agent acts in a different mode of action than classical biocides and could potentially be employed in medicinal, technical, or agriculture applications. The presented microsheets and their unspecific binding of cell interfaces could further be employed as adsorber material for bacterial filtration or immobilization for imaging, analysis, or sensor technologies.  相似文献

This study investigates the ability of cellulose filter paper coated with silver nanoparticles to remove Escherichia coli from drinking water. The cellulose filter paper was coated with silver nanoparticles by a chemical reduction method using two different ratios of sodium borohydride and silver nitrate. In consideration of drinking-water quality standards and non-carcinogenic health risks, the optimum sodium borohydride:silver nitrate ratio for coating the cellulose filter paper was determined by comparing the silver in the effluent after E. coli removal. For both ratios, 100% E. coli removal was realised. In terms of the silver in the effluent, only the first two lowest concentrations for both ratios of sodium borohydride and silver nitrate were compliant with the drinking-water quality standards, demonstrating hazard quotients (HQs) between 0.084 and 0.484. On the basis of the highest level of E. coli removal with the lowest HQ value, the optimum sodium borohydride:silver nitrate ratio for coating the cellulose filter paper as an antibacterial water filter was 2:1 molar ratio (0.002 M:0.001 M). Silver nanoparticle-coated cellulose filter paper was found to be an inexpensive and easy-to-use emergency antibacterial water filter to generate clean drinking water.  相似文献

Context: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is increasing and alternative antibacterial treatments like antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) are needed. Curcumin is under investigation as a potential photosensitizer in aPDT.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop rapidly dissolving formulations of curcumin that could photoinactivate both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Materials and methods: Curcumin solid dispersions with methyl-β-cyclodextrin and hyaluronic acid (HA), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or both HA and HPMC were prepared through lyophilization. The lyophilizates were characterized by curcumin drug load [% (w/w)], differential scanning calorimetry, photostability, thermal stability, their ability to form supersaturated solutions and by in vitro photoinactivation of Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli.

Results and discussion: The lyophilizates were amorphous solid dispersions with a curcumin drug load in the range of 1.4–5.5% (w/w) depending on the included polymer and the ratio between curcumin and the cyclodextrin. The lyophilizates were photolabile, but thermally stable and dissolved rapidly in contact with water to form supersaturated solutions. Selected lyophilizates demonstrated >log 6 reduction of colony forming units/ml of both E. faecalis and E. coli after exposure to low curcumin concentrations (0.5–10?µM) and blue light dose (11–16?J/cm2). The high drug load of the lyophilizates, rapid dissolution, ability to form relatively stable supersaturated solutions and the very high phototoxicity towards both E. faecalis and E. coli make these lyophilizates suitable for in vivo aPDT.

Conclusions: This treatment with optimized curcumin formulations should be explored as an alternative to topical antibiotics in the treatment of wound infections.  相似文献

The primary aim of the study was to observe the morphological changes taking place on Escherichia coli when treated with non-cationised placebo lipidic emulsion (NCPLE) and cationised placebo lipidic emulsion (CPLE). The particle size of NCPLE and CPLE indicated the mean diameter of 10.77 ± 0.20 nm and 56.98 ± 1.718 nm, respectively. The zeta potential of NCPLE and CPLE depicted the potential of ?10.8 ± 0.80 mV and +20.9 ± 3.25 mV, respectively. Agar diffusion study indicated higher inhibition zone of 21.4 ± 0.85 mm for CPLE as evaluated against 14.7 ± 0.76 mm for NCPLE. Transmission electron micrographs of Escherichia coli treated with NCPLE and CPLE showed the potential of blank nanoemulsions as antibacterial, which can be used as a therapeutic agent. The bacterial cell being negatively charged attracts the cationised nanoemulsions from the bulk of dispersion. As the concentration of nanoemulsion increased in the vicinity of the bacterial cell, the degree of collisions increased between the cationised nanoemulsion leading to coalescence and the formation of a pool of emulsion containing bacterial cells leading to cell death. The study demonstrated that placebo lipidic nanoemulsion (NCPLE & CPLE) may itself be used as an active therapeutic agent for the treatment of bacterial infections. Moreover, it can also be used as a carrier system for antibacterial drugs for the two-pronged synergistic effect.  相似文献
