Nlrp6 In Gram-Positive Pneumonia And Sepsis, Laxman Ghimire Oct 2019

Nlrp6 In Gram-Positive Pneumonia And Sepsis, Laxman Ghimire

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Acute lower respiratory infections (pneumonia) and pneumonia-derived sepsis are among the leading causes of death in the world causing 7.8 million deaths annually. In this regard, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is endemic in the US and implicated for causing high mortality-associated necrotizing pneumonia and aggravating viral pneumonia with superinfection. Additionally, sepsis is the 7th leading cause of death among newborns in the US and is responsible for more than 750,000 hospitalization cases every year. Although there is a plethora of research in both pneumonia and sepsis, the detailed pathophysiology still remains elusive. Understanding the host defense mechanism will help …


Antimicrobial Resistance And Phenotypic And Molecular Detection Of Extended-Spectrum Ss-Lactamases Among Extraintestinal Escherichia Coli Isolated From Pneumonic And Septicemic Sheep And Goats In Rajasthan, India, Fateh Singh, Ganesh Gangaram Sonawane, Jyoti Kumar, Shivendra Kumar Dixit, Rajendra Kumar Meena, Bhupendra Nath Tripathi Jan 2019

Antimicrobial Resistance And Phenotypic And Molecular Detection Of Extended-Spectrum Ss-Lactamases Among Extraintestinal Escherichia Coli Isolated From Pneumonic And Septicemic Sheep And Goats In Rajasthan, India, Fateh Singh, Ganesh Gangaram Sonawane, Jyoti Kumar, Shivendra Kumar Dixit, Rajendra Kumar Meena, Bhupendra Nath Tripathi

The present study was planned to isolate Escherichia coli from pneumonic and septicemic sheep and goats and to determine antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of the isolates and evaluate them for the presence of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL) using the phenotypic and molecular methods. Pneumonic lung tissues and heart blood samples were collected by performing necropsy on sheep (n = 96) and goats (n = 08). The samples were processed and used for bacterial isolation. E. coli isolates (n = 58) including 53 from 34 sheep and 5 from 3 goats were recovered and identified by the cultural and biochemical characteristics and …


Comparative Detection Of Bovine Herpesvirus-1 Using Antigen Elisa, Immunohistochemistry And Immunofluorescence Methods In Cattle With Pneumonia, Seli̇m Çomakli, Yavuz Seli̇m Sağlam, Mehmet Özkan Ti̇murkan Jan 2019

Comparative Detection Of Bovine Herpesvirus-1 Using Antigen Elisa, Immunohistochemistry And Immunofluorescence Methods In Cattle With Pneumonia, Seli̇m Çomakli, Yavuz Seli̇m Sağlam, Mehmet Özkan Ti̇murkan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was conducted to detect the prevalence and presence of bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) using immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF) and antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the lung samples of cattle (n = 1023). In addition, three methods were compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and chi-square test ($χ^{2}$ test), and their usability were evaluated in laboratory conditions. Macroscopically, pneumonia was seen in 120 of the lung tissue samples (11.73%). Based on the microscopic examinations, the pneumonia types were classified as catarrhal-suppurative bronchopneumonia (6.7%), fibrinous bronchopneumonia (5%), interstitial pneumonia (84.1%), and granulomatous pneumonia (4.2%). The IHC, IF and antigen ELISA …
