ABSTRACT
Primary intrahepatic stone (PIS)is one of the intractable diseases in hepatobiliary surgery and an important cause of death from benign biliary tract diseases, and it has a high prevalence in the Yangtze River basin and southeastern coastal areas of China. At present, the mechanism of PIS occurrence has not been fully elucidated, but the role of biliary flora in the formation of PIS has been recognized by more and more studies. This article reviews the research progress of biliary flora in the formation of PIS with a view to strengthening the clinical understanding of mechanism of PIS, increasing the attention to the detection of biliary flora, and providing a reference for the prevention and treatment of PIS and the improvement of prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the pathogenic bacteria profiles in preoperative urine bacterial cultures of patients with infected kidney stones and use antibacterial drugs to prevent recurrence.Methods:The data of 79 cases with infected kidney stones admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, among whom 29 (36.7%) were male and 50 (63.3%) were female. The age ranged from 17-75 years, with a median age of 49.0 (40, 55) years. Fifteen cases (19.0%) combined hypertension, 13 cases (16.5%) combined diabetes mellitus, and 3 cases (3.8%) combined with cardiovascular disease. Fifty-one cases (64.6%) were diagnosed with cast infectious stones. All patients underwent surgical lithotripsy, and postoperative review of the urological computerized tomography (CT) revealed no residual stones defined as complete lithotripsy, and postoperative oral medication was continued to control infection and prevent stone recurrence. According to post-hospitalization compliance, patients were divided into high and low compliance groups. The high compliance group consisted of patients who returned to the hospital regularly for routine urinalysis and urine bacterial culture after discharge, followed the doctor's prescription for standardized antibacterial drug therapy, and complied with urease inhibitor therapy for ≥6 months. The low compliance group included patients who did not take sensitive antimicrobial drugs regularly and/or were unable to adhere to the medication even after the reduction of vinblastine due to adverse events such as tremor, palpitations, headache, anemia, or gastrointestinal discomfort. The recurrence of stones at 3, 6 and 12 months of follow-up was compared between the two groups.Results:Of the 79 cases in this group, 56(70.9%) were completely clear of stone after surgery. Thirty-three cases (41.8%) presented positive in preoperative urine bacterial culture, and the most common causative organism was Aspergillus oddus in 17 cases (21.5%), followed by Escherichia coli in 8 cases (10.1%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae in 3 cases (3.8%). Among the 17 positive cases of A. oddis, six were positive for ultra broad spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), 6/6 were resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin, and cotrimoxazole, 1/6 were resistant to amikacin, cefoxitin, and ticarcillin/stick acid, and none were resistant to imipenem, polymyxin, or aminotrans (0/6 cases). Of the cases, 11 were negative for ESBLs. Ten out of eleven cases were resistant to ampicillin. Furthermore, 8/11 cases were resistant to cefazolin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and cotrimoxazole and 1/11 were resistant to cefoxitin, cefaclor, furantoin, amikacin, and minocycline, and 0/11 were resistant to imipenem, ticarcillin/stick acid, aminotrans. ESBLs positive strains were resistant to 78.6% of the tested drugs (cefaclor, cefazolin, ceftazidime, furantoin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, cefoxitin, amoxicillin/rod acid, ticarcillin/rod acid, ampicillin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, cefuroxime, cefepime, gentamicin, cotrimoxazole, tobramycin, amikacin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and minocycline) at a lower rate of resistance than ESBLs positive strains. Of the eight positive cases of E. coli, seven were ESBLs positive, 7/7 were resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin, cefotaxime, cefuroxime, and cefepime, 1/7 were resistant to cefoxitin and minocycline, and 0/7 were resistant to imipenem, furantoin, or amikacin. One case was ESBLs negative and was resistant to all antimicrobial drugs except for ampicillin. Stone recurrence rates at 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge were 9.1%(4/44) and 31.4%(11/35), 13.6%(6/44), respectively, in the high compliance group, and 60.0%(21/35), 36.4%(16/44), and 71.4% (25/35), respectively, in the low compliance group. All differences were statistically significant.Conclusion:The most common pathogenic bacteria isolated from urine bacterial cultures of patients with infectious stones were A. chimaera, E. coli, and K. pneumoniae. The resistance rate of ESBLs-positive strains to antimicrobial drugs was significantly higher than that of ESBL-negative strains, and the resistance rate of antimicrobial drugs such as β-lactamase inhibitors, cefoxitin, amikacin, and imipenem was low. Combination therapy with standardized sensitive antimicrobial drugs and urease inhibitors significantly reduced the recurrence rate of stones among patients.

ABSTRACT
Non-human primates (NHPs) are distributed worldwide and have several unique features that may account for opportunistic and pathogenic zoonotic bacteria. Aim: To evaluate the incidence of enteric organisms with zoonotic and biohazard potential in captive NHPs in a zoo setting. Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria between June-September, 2012. Methodology: We examined 33 clinically healthy young adult monkeys and apes over a three months interval. The animals were sampled at six weeks intervals by faecal culture. Samples were inoculated on appropriate media using specific selective culture methods. Suspect isolates potentially transmissible to humans were purified and identified based on their cultural and biochemical characteristics. Results: The survey revealed six (6) bacterial pathogens using API 20E, Escherichia coli (100.0%), Salmonella paratyphi A 31(93.9%), Proteus mirabilis 14(42.4%), Campylobacter species 6(18.2%), Citrobacter ferundii 7(21.2%), and Yersinia enterocolitica 3(9.1%). Conclusion: The incidence of infections during the period of study (first week and the twelfth week) indicated increased patterns of transmission between species of primates. Research among primate populations has the potential to predict which pathogens might enter human populations as human contact with these animals both in captivity and in the wild is on the increase.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the relationship among handwashing compliance,handwashing ways and nosocomial infection and to increase handwashing compliance as well as controlling nosocomial infection. METHODS The medical care personnel were divided into 4 groups: Daniel-skin sterilizing disinfectant,contained chlorine sterilizing disinfectant,Dianfu,and handwashing with flowing water groups.The results of handwashing effect and handwashing compliance were compared with statistic ?~2 test,and parts of samples with bacteria were identified too. RESULTS Handwashing with Daniel-skin sterilizing disinfectant had good effect and was easily accepted by medical care staff,and the compliance of handwashing had significant difference compared to others. CONCLUSIONS Only provided with conditions which medical care personnel are easily accepted,the handwashing compliance could be able to increase and the nosocomial infection be controlled.
