ABSTRACT

Full genome sequences of five bacteriophages that were isolated from raw sewage samples and infect Enterobacteriales hosts are presented. Brookers is a P22-like Proteus phage, OddieOddie is a 9g-like Escherichia coli phage, Diencephelon is a Kp3-like Klebsiella phage, and Rgz1 and Lilpapawes are classic T4-like and T7-like virulent Proteus phages, respectively.

ABSTRACT

Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella aerogenes are Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens that are responsible for nosocomial and health care-associated infections, including urinary tract infections. Here, the full genome sequences of six Chi-like Proteus (DanisaurMW, DoubleBarrel, Inception, Jing313, and NotEvenPhaged) or Klebsiella (Phraden) bacteriophages are announced, contributing to the understanding of Chi-like phages.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Intracranial complications of sinusitis (ICS) are uncommon in the antibiotic era. The role of neurosurgical drainage of ICS is fairly well established, but the role for acute surgical intervention for the sinus disease is not well defined. We retrospectively reviewed our experience with ICS to see if we could identify the role and effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in the acute setting of ICS. METHODS: The study used a retrospective review of patients presenting to a tertiary care academic medical center for a 6-year period. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients were identified with ICS, including epidural (8), subdural (10), intracerebral abscesses (2), and meningitis (3). Males were more affected than females (7:1). Twenty patients were 21 years old or younger. Twenty-two patients (96%) had radiologic evidence of frontal sinusitis with prefrontal or frontal lobe ICS at presentation. Medical therapy alone was successful in avoiding craniotomy in only 3 of 8 cases. Endoscopic sinus surgery and intravenous antibiotics as initial treatment was successful in avoiding craniotomy in only 1 of 6 patients. Of 23 patients, 18 underwent neurosurgical procedures--9 emergent procedures for abscesses more than 1 cm and 9 delayed procedures for persistent disease despite ICS less than 1 cm at presentation. CONCLUSIONS: Intracranial complications of sinusitis usually result from indirect spread of acute frontal sinusitis. The role of ESS in the initial treatment of ICS is not clear. In our series, ESS did not appear to alter the need for neurosurgical intervention, which was ultimately necessary in most patients with ICS, even with lesions less than 1 cm.
