社区获得性泌尿系感染病原菌分布及耐药性分析

目的分析社区获得性泌尿系感染病原菌的种类及对常用抗生素的耐药性。方法收集2008年5月至2013年3月分离自社区获得性泌尿系感染患者中段尿的菌株,分析病原菌种类并测试主要病原菌对常用抗生素的体外敏感性。结果在215株细菌中,以革兰阴性杆菌155株（72. 1% ）为主。分离前5位的细菌为大肠埃希菌（48.4% ）、肠球菌属（10. 7% ）、肺炎克雷伯菌（7.4% ）、链球菌属（6. 0% ）、假丝酵母属（6. 0% ）。大肠埃希菌和肺炎克雷伯菌中,共63株产ESBL,占52. 5%。产ESBL菌株对头孢替坦、哌拉西林/他唑巴坦、阿米卡星、呋喃妥因、亚胺培南等5种抗生素的耐药率低于10%,对其他抗生素耐药率则超过70%。不产ESBL的菌株除对氨苄西林、氨苄西林/舒巴坦、环丙沙星、左氧氟沙星和复方新诺明的耐药率超过30%外,对其他常用抗生素的耐药率均在10%以下。肠球菌属和链球菌属分别对呋喃妥因和青霉素的耐药率较低（3/23和0/23）,未发现对万古霉素耐药株。结论引起社区获得性泌尿系感染的病原菌以大肠埃希菌为代表的革兰阴性杆菌为主,但由于不同菌株对抗生素的敏感性差异较大,用药之前进行尿培养是避免因抗生素使用不合理造成感染慢性化的一项重要措施。

Prion infection

The prion infection is a conversion of host encoded prion protein (PrP) from its cellular isoform PrPC into the pathological and infectious isoform PrPSc; the conversion process was investigated by in vitro studies using recombinant and cellular PrP and natural PrPSc. We present a brief summary of the results determined with our in vitro conversion system and the derived mechanistic models. We describe well characterized intermediates and precursor states during the conversion process, kinetic studies of spontaneous and seeded fibrillogenesis and the impact of the membrane environment.     

Glutathione and infection

Background

The tripeptide γ-glutamylcysteinylglycine or glutathione (GSH) has demonstrated protective abilities against the detrimental effects of oxidative stress within the human body, as well as protection against infection by exogenous microbial organisms.

Scope of review

In this review we describe how GSH works to modulate the behavior of many cells including the cells of the immune system, augmenting the innate and the adaptive immunity as well as conferring protection against microbial, viral and parasitic infections. This article unveils the direct antimicrobial effects of GSH in controlling Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) infection within macrophages. In addition, we summarize the effects of GSH in enhancing the functional activity of various immune cells such as natural killer (NK) cells and T cells resulting in inhibition in the growth of M. tb inside monocytes and macrophages. Most importantly we correlate the decreased GSH levels previously observed in individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) with an increase in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines which aid in the growth of M. tb.

Major conclusions

In conclusion, this review provides detailed information on the protective integral effects of GSH along with its therapeutic effects as they relate to the human immune system and health.

General significance

It is important to note that the increases in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines are not only detrimental to the host due to the sequel that follow such as fever and cachexia, but also due to the alteration in the functions of immune cells. The additional protective effects of GSH are evident after sequel that follows the depletion of this antioxidant. This is evident in a condition such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF) where an increased oxidant burden inhibits the clearance of the affecting organism and results in oxidant-induced anti-protease inhibition. GSH has a similar protective effect in protozoans as it does in human cells. Thus GSH is integral to the survival of some of the protozoans because some protozoans utilize the compound trypanothione [T(SH)₂] as their main antioxidant. T(SH)₂ in turn requires GSH for its production. Hence a decrease in the levels of GSH (by a known inhibitor such as buthionine sulfoximine [BSO] can have adverse effects of the protozoan parasites. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Cellular functions of glutathione.     

Burkholderia cenocepacia infection

Phagocytosis is an important component of innate immunity that contributes to the eradication of infectious microorganisms; however, successful bacterial pathogens often evade different aspects of host immune responses. A common bacterial evasion strategy entails the production of toxins and/or effectors that disrupt normal host cell processes and because of their importance Rho-family GTPases are often targeted. Burkholderia cenocepacia, an opportunistic pathogen that has a propensity to infect cystic fibrosis patients, is an example of a pathogenic bacterium that has only recently been shown to disrupt Rho GTPase function in professional phagocytes. More specifically, B. cenocepacia disrupts Rac and Cdc42 seemingly through perturbation of guanine nucleotide exchange factor function. Inactivation of Rac, Cdc42 and conceivably other Rho GTPases seriously compromises phagocyte function.
