Myelotoxicity and kidney dysfunction related to the use of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for the treatment of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia: a case report of severe adverse events with a common drug
We present the case of a male patient with hypertension and a recent diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, undergoing rituximab treatment for two months. He was admitted to the intensive care unit due to dyspnea, tachypnea, and pleuritic pain, requiring mechanical ventilation. Chest computed tomography showed bilateral and multilobed ground-glass opacities, compromising more than 80% of the lung parenchyma. Pulmonary tuberculosis and COVID-19 were ruled out. An angiotomography and Doppler ultrasound revealed an extensive pulmonary thrombus and deep venous thrombosis. Empiric treatment with TMP-SMX for PCP was initiated, but w...

Safety attributes of Pseudomonas sp. P26, an environmental microorganism with potential application in contaminated environments
Environ Pollut. 2024 Mar 18:123818. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123818. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrently, the selection of non-pathogenic microorganisms that lack clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance is crucial to bioaugmentation strategies. Pseudomonas sp. P26 (P26) is an environmental bacterium of interest due to its ability to remove aromatic compounds from petroleum, but its safety characteristics are still unknown. The study aimed to: a) determine P26 sensitivity to antimicrobials, b) investigate the presence of quinolone and β-lactam resistance genes, c) determine the presence of virulence factors, and...

Fatal coinfection of blastocystosis and intestinal trichomoniasis in a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta)
AbstractA 3-year-old male rhesus macaque was presented at Referral Veterinary Polyclinic-Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, with a chief complaint of chronic diarrhoea and swelling of dependent body parts. The patient's history indicates that the monkey had been experiencing diarrhoea for the past month, with 2 –3 episodes of vomiting in the last 2 days. Additionally, oedema has developed within the last 2 weeks. The clinical examination findings revealed dullness and depression, the mucus membrane appeared pale, with a temperature-102.1 °F, a respiration rate-28/min, and a heart rate-92/min. The cap illary refill...

High carriage of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes by ESBL-producing and fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli recovered from animal waste dumps
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that animal wastes disposed indiscriminately into dumps could be a budding 'hotspot' for multidrug resistant, ESBL-producing and fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli carrying multiple genes encoding resistance to fluoroquinolone antibiotics.PMID:38491992 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-024-09228-8 (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

Exploring variations in recommended first ‐choice therapy for complicated urinary tract infections in males: Insights from outpatient settings across age, race, and ethnicity
ConclusionsNearly half of the patients included in this study did not receive recommended first-choice therapies; however, racial and ethnic disparities were not identified. Underutilization of recommended first-choice antibiotic therapy in complicated UTIs continues to be an area of focus for antimicrobial stewardship programs.

Use of sawdust for production of ligninolytic enzymes by white-rot fungi and pharmaceutical removal
Bioprocess Biosyst Eng. 2024 Mar 14. doi: 10.1007/s00449-024-02976-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUse of white-rot fungi for enzyme-based bioremediation of wastewater is of high interest. These fungi produce considerable amounts of extracellular ligninolytic enzymes during solid-state fermentation on lignocellulosic materials such as straw and sawdust. We used pure sawdust colonized by Pleurotus ostreatus, Trametes versicolor, and Ganoderma lucidum for extraction of ligninolytic enzymes in aqueous suspension. Crude enzyme suspensions of the three fungi, with laccase activity range 12-43 U/L and manganese peroxidase activ...
