The objective of this study was to perform molecular surveillance for assessing the spread of carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Czech hospitals. One hundred thirty-six carbapenemase-producing isolates were recovered from 22 hospitals located throughout the country. Sequence type 357 (ST357) dominated (n = 120) among carbapenemase pr...

BackgroundPseudomonas putida is a Gram-negative, non-fermenting bacterium frequently encountered in various environmental niches. P. putida rarely causes disease in humans, though serious infections and outbreaks have been reported from time to time. Some have suggested that P. putida functions as an exchange platform for antibiotic resistance gene...

There has been a great and long-term concern that extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)/AmpC- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae occurring in animals may constitute a public-health issue. A large number of factors with complex interrelations contribute to the spread of those bacteria among animals and humans. ESBL/AmpC- or carbapenemase-...

The Science of the total environment
Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in the aquatic environment are reported from all over the world and their presence in the environment has become quite common. The current most prominent example is the presence of beta-lactamases harboring Enterobacteriaceae. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and diversity (on the genetic and...

Vortex-induced motion (VIM) on a cylindrical floating structure can be easily found in ocean strong current. Since the VIM on the structure with long-term low-frequency motion causes fatigue damage of the structure’s mooring lines and risers, precise VIM assessment is needed for the safe evaluation of them. In the standard of the International Orga...

The article presents the current data on the sensitivity of the main 37 strains of eXtremaly Drugs Resistance (XDR) category to anti-pseudomonas drugs. The strains were collected during the prospective multicenter study in large multidisciplinary hospitals of Central Kazakhstan. Susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs was carried out by disk method a...

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are an urgent public health threat. We evaluated the capacity of the Carba NP test to detect carbapenemase production in 206 isolates: 143 Enterobacteriaceae identified by Oregon's CRE surveillance program in 2013 and 63 known carbapenemase-positive organisms. Overall, test sensitivity and specificity w...

Tremor and other hyperkinetic movements (New York, N.Y.)
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor (ET) can cause unwanted side effects. A patient with ET underwent unilateral dual-lead thalamic DBS. He later developed parkinsonism with atypical features and was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy. During presentation for a second opinion, stimulation-induced side effects were suspected...

Based on animal studies, it has been shown that the nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM) of the thalamus plays an important role within the vestibular system. A few human studies support the vestibular role of the VIM. In this study, we aimed to test the hypothesis whether changing the stimulation status in patients with unilateral deep brain stimul...
