1.Experimental Identification of Mucoid Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Strains Causing Infections and Cases Review
Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2015;(2):114-116
Objective To investigate the clinical distribution and antibacterial drug susceptibility of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa (mPa).Methods By looking at the patients’general information,disease information and the information of anti-microbial usage,cases of 53 strains of non-repetitive mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected from hospitalized pa-tients from Jan 2013 to Dec 2013,and drug susceptibility were analyzed.Results A total of 53 strains of mucoid Pseudo-monas aeruginosa were isolated from sputum specimen,mainly elderly patients with a mean age of 66.7±9.1 years old;50 patients had chronic history of respiratory infections,all patients were used during the hospital stay of two or more kinds of antibiotics,used jointly only 11 cases of macrolides.All strains to commonly used antimicrobial agents showed a higher sen-sitivity in vitro,in addition to ticarcillin/clavulanate (64.2%),cefepime (60.4%),other drug sensitivity was higher than 70%.Conclusion Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa was susceptible to chronic respiratory infection history of the elderly,its antimicrobial susceptibility was high in vitro,the use of antimicrobial agents in clinical was combined therapy compared,but utilization rate of macrolides drugs was low.

Objective To investigate positive picobirnaviruses(PVBs)infection and its association with unex-plained diarrhea in children. Methods From January to December 2015,the Clinical Microbiology Testing Center of Xuzhou Central Hospital as the sampling location,7 PVB reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction(RT - PCR)- positive fecal samples with diarrhea were collected from children under 6 years old and 4 samples from healthy chil-dren were obtained and all the samples were analyzed by viral metagenomics to investigate the relationship between PVBs and diarrhea in children. Phylogenetic analysis of RdRp in the isolated PVB sequences was carried out to clarify the relationship between PVB classification and diarrhea. Results All the 7 diarrhea feces contained high titers of PVB sequences,while 3 of the controls were negative,and 1 with low titers of PVB. RdRp analysis was carried out on the iso-lated PVB sequences,which displayed that 7 RdRp sequences caming from 7 fecal samples separately,so named ChXz- 1 to ChXz - 7 respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on the predicted amino acid sequences of RdRp from this study and whole RdRp sequences available in the GenBank database indicated that the 7 RdRp sequences belonged to 3 genogroups,in which ChXz - 1,ChXz - 2,ChXz - 3 belonging to genogroup Ⅰ,ChXz - 4,ChXz - 5,ChXz - 7 belong-ing to genogroup Ⅱ,and ChXz - 6 belonging to genogroup Ⅲ. Conclusions PVBs might be the cause of diarrhea in children in this study,and all the 3 different PVBs may lead to diarrhea.
