Development Of A Proposed Selective Medium For The Isolation And Differentiation Of P. Sordellii, Dimyana Bottros
Development Of A Proposed Selective Medium For The Isolation And Differentiation Of P. Sordellii, Dimyana Bottros
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Clostridium, a genus of anaerobic, spore-forming bacteria, includes clinically and ecologically significant species like Clostridium difficile and Paeniclostridium sordellii. C. difficile causes antibiotic-associated colitis, while P. sordellii is linked to fatal infections and spontaneous abortions. Recent studies found both species in marine sediments, suggesting their role in environmental and wildlife health disturbances, including the 2013 mass mortality of over 300 manatees in the Indian River Lagoon. However, isolating and differentiating P. sordellii is challenging due to the lack of selective media optimized for its growth. This thesis proposes a novel selective medium tailored to P. sordellii’s physiological …
Blood Culture Utilization: How Many Follow-Up Cultures Are Needed?, George Jones, Jennifer Hanrahan
Blood Culture Utilization: How Many Follow-Up Cultures Are Needed?, George Jones, Jennifer Hanrahan
Department of Medicine Faculty Publications
Background: Follow-up blood cultures (BCx) are ordered after an initial positive culture in many instances. The number of follow-up cultures needed is not clear. Obtaining unnecessary BCx may cause unintended consequences. The optimal balance between stewardship and patient safety warrants investigation. We sought to assess the frequency with which a third set is positive after a negative second BCx. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of BCx submitted to the microbiology laboratory from 1/1/18-11/1/23. We included all patients ≥18 years who had at least two follow-up BCx drawn 24-72 hours after an initial positive culture. Data were collected from electronic …

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and it has plagued humans for most of recorded history. Despite strong efforts to prevent and treat TB, it remains the leading cause of death due to a pathogen and is most prevalent in certain regions of Asia and Africa. Currently, the only approved vaccine to prevent TB is the live-attenuated Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine. Most countries have a universal BCG vaccination policy, but the vaccine ultimately fails to be protective. The BCG vaccine is most effective in children and protects against disseminated TB, but protection wanes 10-15 years after vaccination causing …

Folic acid (FA) is well known to prevent neural tube defects (NTDs), but we do not know why many human NTD cases still remain refractory to FA supplementation. Here, we investigate how the DNA demethylase TET1 interacts with maternal FA status to regulate mouse embryonic brain development. We determined that cranial NTDs display higher penetrance in non-inbred than in inbred Tet1−/− embryos and are resistant to FA supplementation across strains. Maternal diets that are either too rich or deficient in FA are linked to an increased incidence of cranial deformities in wild type and Tet1+/− offspring and to …
