Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (EPKP) strains are frequently implicated in outbreaks in neonatal units. From April 2002 to January 2003, 149 neonates were colonized/infected with EPKP In the Neonatal Clinic of the Teaching Hospital at the Medical University of Gdansk, Poland. A novel assay based on suppression of PCR, ADSRRS-fingerprinting, was successfully evaluated...
The description of very efficient system for production and purification of Toxoplasma gondii recombinant antigens, GRA6, p35 and SAG2 is given in this study. The usefulness of these antigens for diagnostic of human infections was tested in an ELISA using 99 sera obtained during routine diagnostics. The sera for testing were selected from either acute or chronically infected patients. Both r-GRA6...
The oxazolidinone antimicrobial, linezolid, has been approved for the treatment of infections caused by various gram-positive bacteria, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). This is the first report on isolation of a linezolid resistant, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (LRVREF) strain in Poland, from a Haematological Unit patient in the Clinical Hospital in Gdańsk. PCR-RFLP analysis...
To confirm the sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique (versus blood cultures) and to gain a better understanding of the incidence of true- and false-positive results when using this technique, one hundred randomly chosen patients treated operationally because of valve defects were examined. In our studies we found that PCR techniques using universal primers complementary to the...
