Methods:Retrospective analysis.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Faropenem sodium, Merope-nem, Imipenem and other antibiotics was determined by the agar dilution method.A total of 156 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae [including 32 strains of Penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PSSP), 28 strains of Penicillin-intermediate Streptococcus pneumoniae (PISP) and 96 strains of Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP)], 98 strains of Haemophilus influenza, 173 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 55 strains of Moraxella catarrhali clinical isolates were used.MIC 50, MIC 90 and the accumulative inhibition of the bacteria were investigated. Results:The MIC of Faropenem sodium against all the Streptococcus pneumoniae strains ranged from 0.010-2.000 mg/L.There was no difference in the MIC distribution of Faropenem sodium against PSSP, PISP and PRSP, and the MIC 90 value was all 1.000 mg/L.Faropenem sodium inhibited all the Haemophilus influenza strains at concentrations ranging from 0.030-8.000 mg/L.There was no difference in the MIC distribution of Faropenem sodium against Haemophilus influenza with or without β-lactamase and Ampicillin resistance.The MIC 90 value was all 4.000 mg/L.Ho-wever, the MIC of Faropenem sodium against Klebsiella pneumoniae ranged from 0.250 to above 32.000 mg/L, and both MIC 50 and MIC 90 were greater than 32.000 mg/L.Faropenem sodium inhibited all the Moraxella catarrhalis strains at concentrations ranging from 0.030-2.000 mg/L, with MIC 50 being 0.500 mg/L and MIC 90 being 1.000 mg/L. Conclusions:Antimicrobial susceptibility testing results in vitro demonstrate that pediatric Faropenem sodium has satisfactory antibacterial activities against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenza, and Moraxella catarrhalis, but comparatively weak antibacterial activities against Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Predicting bacteria causing acute bacterial rhinosinusitis by clinical features / Predição de bactérias causadoras de rinossinusite bacteriana aguda por características clínicas

Abstract Introduction: Clinicians rely on clinical presentations to select therapeutic agents for acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae are common in acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. Drug resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae require different antibiotics. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the associations between clinical features of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis and pathogenic bacteria. Methods: Sixty-four patients with acute bacterial rhinosinusitis were enrolled. Clinical features including nasal obstruction, discolored discharge, facial pain, smell disturbance, fever and laboratory findings of patients with acute bacterial rhinosinusitis were collected. The bacterial cultures of endoscopic middle meatal swabs were used as a reference. Results: Serum C-reactive protein level elevation correlated with the bacterial species (p = 0.03), by which was increased in 80.0% of Haemophilus influenzae rhinosinusitis and 57.1% of Streptococcus pneumoniae rhinosinusitis. The elevated C-reactive protein was the significant predictor for Haemophilus influenzae rhinosinusitis with the Odds Ratio of 18.06 (95% CI 2.36-138.20). The sensitivity of serum C-reactive protein level elevation for diagnosing Haemophilus influenzae rhinosinusitis was 0.80 (95% CI 0.49-0.94). Conclusion: Elevation of serum C-reactive protein level was associated with and predicted acute bacterial rhinosinusitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae.

Role of haemophilus influenza factor in the process of biofilm formation / 天津医药

The Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) is a common opportunistic pathogen from human respiratory tract. The lower immunity can cause the disease. After the biofilm (BF) is formatted by Hi at the site of infection, the antibiotic sensitivity is declined, which often causes the chronic disease, inducing the difficulty in clinical treatment. In recent years, the pathogenic?ity of Hi BF and BF form related factors have gradually become the focus of clinical and basic research. This paper reviewed recent studies as following.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Haemophilus influenzae among Under-five Children Presenting at the Emergency Paediatric Unit (EPU) Two Teaching Hospitals in Jos, Nigeria.

Background: Haemophilus influenzae meningitis is a leading cause of endemic bacterial meningitis in infants and under-five children globally. H. influenza infection is severe where vaccine is not routinely used and one-third to half of the children either dies or suffers permanent disability such as deafness, paralysis or mental retardation when prompt and appropriate treatment is not instituted. Aim: This research sets to study and document the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of H. influenzae isolates from cerebrospinal fluids of under-five children presenting at the Emergency Paediatric Units of two Teaching Hospitals in Jos, Nigeria. Methodology: This was a descriptive cross–sectional prospective study conducted from October 2009 to March 2010. One hundred and sixty consecutive under-five children who presented with signs and symptoms consistent with H. influenzae meningitis were recruited. Socio-demography data was obtained with structured questionnaire. Specimens were aseptically collected and carefully processed for isolation and identification of H. influenza and subsequently the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolates. Results: The prevalence of H. influenzae meningitiswas low in Jos with prevalence of 6.3% among 160 under-five children studied, with mean age of 34 months and M: F ratio of 1:1. About 60% of these isolates were obtained from patients with acute pyogenic bacterial meningitis. Majority of the isolates were ampicillin resistant, β-lactamases producers and were all sensitive to ceftriaxone and azithromycin. Conclusion: The low prevalence of H. influenzae meningitis suggests substantial but not complete coverage of vaccine activity in this region while the susceptibility pattern of the isolate reveals and supports the vital role ceftriax one plays in the management of invasive H. influenzae infections to avoid pathologic complications.

Serum concentrations of antibodies against outer membrane protein P6 and its T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae in children and adults of different ages / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To measure the concentrations of antibodies against outer membrane protein P6 and its T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae ( NTHi) in children and adults of different ages and to evaluate the differences among different subjects for further investigation on NTHi multiple antigenic peptide vaccine .Methods A prokaryotic expression system was established to ex-press the recombinant outer membrane protein P 6 of NTHi.The expressed protein was purified by using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography .T-and B-cell epitopes in protein P6 were predicted with Epitope prediction software 1.0 and ANTIGENIC program and were used to synthesize T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes .A total of 605 subjects aged from 1 day to 103 years old were recruited from October 2013 to March 2014 .Ser-um concentrations of antibodies against protein P 6 and its T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes were meas-ured by using ELISA .Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the differences between groups .Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis .Results Four T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes including P 6-2, P6-61, P6-95 and P6-122 were predicted and synthesized .The levels of antibodies against NTHi P6 and P6-2, P6-61, P6-95 and P6-122 were significant lower in the <1 months group than those in the 1-6 months group (all P<0.001) and 7 months-3 years group (all P<0.001).Three groups including 7 months-3 years group , 4-6 years group and 7-14 years group showed significant differ-ences regarding to the antibodies levels , among the 7 months-3 years group showed the highest levels , fol-lowed by the 4-6 years group and the 7-14 years group.However, no significant difference was found be-tween other adjacent groups .Concentrations of antibodies against P 6-2, P6-61, P6-95 and P6-122 were pos-itively correlated with the level of antibody against P 6 (P<0.0001).Conclusion The distribution of anti-bodies against T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes in P6 was highly in accord with those against P6, which indicated good immunogenicity of those epitopes .The highest antibodies levels were found in subjects aged 7 months to 3 years old , which might correlate with the high risk of NTHi infection at that stage .

Vigilancia de serotipos en infecciones invasivas por Haemophilus influenzae en la Argentina en la era de la vacuna conjugada contra el serotipo b durante el período 2005-2010 / Surveillance of Haemophilus influenzae serotypes in Argentina from 2005 to 2010 during the Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine era

La introducción de la vacuna contra Haemophilus influenzae tipo b en los programas de inmunización de muchos países produjo una reducción marcada en la incidencia de enfermedad invasiva causada por este serotipo y en su portación y un incremento de otros tipos capsulares y de aislamientos no capsulados. Se estudiaron 313 aislamientos de H. influenzae recuperados de sitio estéril, provenientes de pacientes pediátricos y adultos con enfermedad invasiva atendidos en 90 hospitales de la Red Nacional de Laboratorios para Meningitis e Infecciones Respiratorias Agudas Bacterianas durante el período 2005-2010. Las patologías más frecuentes fueron neumonía, 40,3 % (n = 126), meningitis, 30,0 % (n = 94) y bacteriemia, 26,5 % (n = 83). En los pacientes pediátricos (n = 279), la mayor frecuencia de aislamientos correspondió a menores de 2 años, 74,5 % (n = 208). Con respecto a la distribución de tipos, el 61,3 %, correspondió a H. influenzae no capsulados (n = 192); el 20,1 % al b (n = 63); 11,2 % al a (n = 35); 4,8 % al f y 2,6 % a otros. En meningitis predominaron H. influenzae capsulados mientras que en neumonía y bacteriemia resultaron dominantes los tipos no capsulados. Se determinó el biotipo en 306 aislamientos. Todos los aislamientos de tipo a correspondieron al biotipo II; el 66,7 % de los tipo b pertenecieron al biotipo I. Mediante las técnicas de aglutinación en lámina y PCR se estudiaron 220 aislamientos; la concordancia entre ambas fue de 0,982 (IC: 0,92-1,00). En el último año se encontró un aumento significativo del tipo b, lo cual indica la importancia de mantener la vigilancia clínica y laboratorial de la enfermedad invasiva por H. influenzae.

The introduction of the Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine in the immunization programs of many countries has greatly reduced this invasive disease and the carriage caused by this serotype, also increasing other capsular types and non-capsular isolations. There were 313 isolations of H. influenzae under study, which were recovered from a sterile site coming from pediatric and adult patients carrying the invasive disease. Patients were treated at 90 different hospitals belonging to the Red Nacional de Laboratorios para Meningitis e Infecciones Respiratorias Agudas Bacterianas (National Lab Network for Meningitis and Acute Bacterial Respiratory Infections) from 2005 to 2010 for the following disorders: pneumonia, 40.3% (n = 126), meningitis, 30.0% (n = 94) and bacteremia, 26.5% (n = 83). In pediatric patients (n = 279), the highest frequency of isolations corresponded to children under the age of 2 years, 74.5% (n = 208). Regarding type distribution, 61.3% corresponded to non-capsular H. influenzae (n = 192), 20.1% to type b (n = 63), 11.2% to type a (n = 35), 4.8% to type f, and 2.6% to other types. Capsular H. influenzae was predominant in meningitis whereas non-capsular H. influenzae in pneumonia and bacteremia. The biotype was determined in 306 isolations. The totality (100%) of type a (n = 35) was biotype II whereas 66.7% of type b (n = 63) was biotype I. Slide agglutination and PCR tests were used in 220 isolations. There was a match of 0.982 (IC: 0.92-1.00) between them. During the last year, there was a great increase in type b, showing the importance of clinical and laboratory-based surveillance of the invasive disease caused by H. influenzae.

Immunogenicity of Haemophilus influenzae Type b Conjugate Vaccines in Korean Infants: A Meta-analysis

A meta-analysis was performed on the immunogenicity of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccines after 2 (2 and 4 months) and 3 doses (2, 4, and 6 months) in Korean infants. A database search of MEDLINE, KoreaMed, and Korean Medical Database was done. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of infants with anti-polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP) concentrations > or =1.0 microgram/mL. Eight studies including eleven trials were retrieved. One trial reported on the diphtheria toxoid conjugate vaccine (PRP-D) and 2 trials each on the mutant diphtheria toxin (PRP-CRM) and Neisseria meningitidis outer-membrane protein (PRP-OMP) conjugate vaccine. Heterogeneity in study designs between trials on PRP-CRM was noted and one trial reported on a monovalent and another on a combination PRP-OMP vaccine. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted only on the tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (PRP-T). After a primary series of 2 doses and 3 doses, 80.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]; 76.0-85.1%) and 95.7% (95% CI; 94.0-98.0%) of infants achieved an antibody level > or =1.0 microgram/mL, respectively. The immunogenic response to the PRP-T vaccine was acceptable after a primary series of 3 doses and also 2 doses. A reduced number of doses as a primary series could be carefully considered in Korean infants.

Haemophillus influenzae type b: molecular biological characteristics and familial contagious source

Haemophilus influenzae is one of the main pathogens of encephalitis in children less than 5 years old. The rate of ampicillin resistant strain is not high. No beta-lactamase-producing and ampicillin-resistant (BLNAR) isolates were found. The PFGE patterns of Hib isolates were highly divergent, but most could be classified into three groups (A, B and C). Hib isolates from the CSF of patients and from nasopharynges of household contacts showed the same PFGE patterns. This observation suggested that household contacts of patients are a possible reservoir of Hib.

Some techniques of detection of type B Haemophilus influenza in the diagnosis of meningitis due to type B H. influenza

Some techniques of detection of Hib were compared, including classic techniques such as bacterial culture and modern techniques such as PCR method. The results were as follows: 21% (+) culture with Hib compared to the total of clinically diagnosed cases, Hib-latex agglutination with 95% sensitivity and 99.6% specificity, counter immunophoresis assay to detect Hib by 97% sensitivity and 100% specificity. PCR increased the number of positive cases of Hib meningitis by 42.8% compared to culture alone. Blood culture gave a highly significant value to diagnose (51% Hib-possitive culture)
