Dissemination of Urinary Escherichia coli Phylogroup B2 in Provincial and Community Hospitals in Uthai Thani, Central Thailand
This study examined the antimicrobial susceptibility and genetic relationship based on Clermont phylotyping and ERIC-PCR of 84 E. coli urinary isolates from provincial and community hospitals in Thailand. All the isolates were completely susceptible to nitrofurantoin, whereas almost all isolates were susceptible to carbapenem, fosfomycin, and amikacin. A high resistance rate was found to fluoroquinolone, ampicillin, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Clermont phylogroup B2 was predominant (n=58). Subtyping of the B2 phylogroup revealed diverse subgroups, of which subgroup V (n=11) was predominant, followed by VII (n=9), II...

First case of necrotizing fasciitis and septicemia caused by Pigmentibacter ruber
Jpn J Infect Dis. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.7883/yoken.JJID.2023.370. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe herein report the first case of necrotizing fasciitis caused by Pigmentibacter ruber. The isolated strain could not be identified by biochemical characterization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The isolated strain was identified as P. ruber by 16S ribosomal RNA and whole genome sequencing. Although much remains unknown about the pathogenicity of this bacterial specie in humans, it has been revealed to cause life-threatening infections, such as septicemia and necr...

STSS by Streptococcus pyogenes emm22 genotype accompanied by CsrS mutation: A case report
Jpn J Infect Dis. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.7883/yoken.JJID.2023.332. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe patient was a 22-year-old woman with no comorbidities who was transferred to our hospital due to cardiac arrest. Treatment enabled return to spontaneous circulation in the patient before arriving at the hospital. At the hospital, the patient's vital signs were unstable. Vasopressors and hyperhydration therapy were administered. Computed Tomography (CT) showed no remarkable change that caused the cardiac arrest. Antibiotics were prescribed after a blood culture exam. The patient was admitted to the ICU. In the ICU, the high-ca...

Continuous renal replacement therapy improves indicators and short-term survival in people with AIDS manifesting sepsis and acute kidney injury
This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of CRRT in the treatment of AIDS with sepsis and AKI, to provide new directions for the treatment of severe AIDS. Data of 74 people with AIDS, sepsis and AKI were collected. They were divided into CRRT and non-CRRT groups. There was no difference in indicators between the two groups at admission. Vital signs, PH, serum potassium, renal function, blood lactate, APACHE II score, and SOFA score in CRRT group demonstrated significant improvements over those in the non-CRRT group both 24 and 72 hours after admission (P<0.05). Level of Interleukin 6 and procalcitonin declined more s...

Clinical course and molecular characterization of human Bocavirus associated with acute lower respiratory tract infections in tertiary care hospital of north India
Jpn J Infect Dis. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.7883/yoken.JJID.2023.251. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRespiratory samples from 139 hospitalized children were screened for the Human Bocavirus (HBoV) genome. Positive samples were sequenced for partial VP1/VP2 gene followed by molecular and phylogenetic analyses. HBoV positivity was noted in 7.2% (10/139) patients. All HBoV positive children presented with fever followed by cough and respiratory distress (90%; 9/10). Three children developed multisystemic viral illness with one fatality. Eight children required intensive care management and mechanical ventilation required for 5 chil...
