Surveillance of the source of poultry infections with Enterococcus hirae and Enterococcus cecorum in Slovenia and E. hirae antibiotic resistance patterns
New Microbiol. 2021 Oct;44(4):210-216. Epub 2021 Dec 19.ABSTRACTEnterococcus cecorum and Enterococcus hirae can cause locomotor problems, septicaemia, and endocarditis in broiler chickens. Understanding transmission routes and resistance patterns are essential for effective treatment. The aim of this study was to follow the same animals from the breeder flock to the hatchery and up to 14-day-old broiler chickens on the farm to find the source of E. cecorum and E. hirae. During the production cycle, only faeces and organs of broilers were E. hirae positive in all three sampled farms in which recurrent enterococcal infection...

Toxinotype A Clostridium perfringens causing septicaemia with intravascular haemolysis: two cases and review of the literature
Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium which is commonly found in soil, food and intestinal tracts of humans and animals (Kiu and Hall, 2018). C. perfringens infections show a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, including intestinal infections by specific toxinotypes, asymptomatic bacteraemia, gangrene, massive intravascular haemolysis and multi-organ failure from septic shock. Septicaemia with subsequent haemoly sis is notorious for rapid clinical deterioration and death (80% mortality) (Van Bunderen et al., 2010). (Source: International Journal of Infectious Diseases)

Invasive serogroup B meningococci in England following three years of 4CMenB vaccination – first real-world data
Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is a major global cause of meningitis and/or septicaemia. Six serogroups (A, B, C, W, X and Y) cause the majority of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). In western countries serogroup B (MenB) disease predominates1 peaking among infants and young children with a smaller peak in young adults.1 Polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines exist against serogroups A, C, W and Y but not MenB, owing to poor immunogenicity of the capsular polysaccharide.1,2 Outer membrane vesicle (OMV) based MenB vaccines have mostly been used against strain-specific outbreaks owing to the high diversity and poo...

Blood lactate level in patients with severe COVID-19: Does it have any added value?
Conclusion: Analysis of our small cohort of severe COVID-19 patients’ show1) Despite having features of Sepsis, Blac is below the critical threshold of 2mmol/L for majority of the patients2) Blac >2mmol/L did not predict increased mortality and there was no significant difference in the Mean Blac between survivors and non survivors (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Managing multi-system trauma: A single case of acute physiotherapy intervention for a child with quadruple amputation post meningococcal septicaemia
Purpose: Sharing this activity demonstrates how physiotherapy is a pivotal part in managing multi-system trauma through multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working. This work demonstrates how the physiotherapists ’ role evolves in response to complex cases and highlights the need to appropriately share information between professionals to support complex rehab. The use of custom and off the shelf aids, equipment and seating, age-appropriate activity exposure, 24-hour management and therapeutic play allowed the patient to develop a level of functional independence and maintain a range of movement.

Evaluation of bacteriophage cocktail on septicaemia caused by colistin-resistant < em > Acinetobacter baumannii < /em > in immunocompromised mice model
CONCLUSIONS: As per the results of this study, it may be concluded that even if patients with acute infections report late to the hospital, a relatively low dose of the phage cocktail may be therapeutically beneficial.PMID:34782540 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.IJMR_2271_18 (Source: Indian J Med Res)
