Microorganisms in the Female Genital Tract during Pregnancy: Tolerance versus Pathogenesis

Microorganisms in the pregnant female genital tract are not always associated with pathology. The factors that influence the maternal response to microorganisms remain ill defined. We review the state of knowledge of microbe–host interactions in gestational tissues and highlight mechanisms that promote tolerance or pathogenesis. Tolerance to microorganisms is promoted during pregnancy by several mechanisms including upregulation of anti‐inflammatory mediators, induction of endotoxin tolerance, and possibly by regulation of autophagy. Conversely, an altered vaginal microbiota or a pre‐existing viral presence may result in induction of excessive inflammation and preterm labor. Although infections play a prevalent role in preterm birth, microbes are present in gestational tissues of women with healthy outcomes and may provide beneficial functions. The complex interactions between different microbial species and the maternal immune system during gestation remain incompletely elucidated.

目的：了解血培养中常见病原菌的组成以及各类病原菌对抗菌药物的耐药性,为临床医生合理选用抗菌药物解决患者病痛提供依据。方法收集临床送检的血培养标本,应用法国生物梅里埃公司 BacT／Alert3D 全自动血培养仪、配套培养基、鉴定仪系统鉴定菌种及药敏试验。结果1764份血培养分离出病原菌179株,其阳性率为10．1％,其中革兰阳性菌68株（38．0％）,革兰阴性菌111株（62．0％）;病原菌中占首位的是大肠埃希菌,其次是凝固酶阴性菌、肺炎克雷伯菌、铜绿假单胞菌。药敏结果显示绝大部分检出的病原菌均有耐药情况出现。结论临床医生应重视患者早期的血培养检验,并严格根据药敏结果合理使用抗菌药物。对血培养的检测应更加规范,从而提高病原菌的检出率,并及时检测病原菌变化及耐药趋势。     

与隐形眼镜相关的感染性角膜炎-埃及5年流行病学研究

目的：研究埃及Tanta大学医院与隐形眼镜相关的感染性角膜炎患者的不同流行病学特点,评估这类疾病各方面的特点,以提高患者对这类疾病的认识,找出可行的解决方案。

方法：选取我院2009-01/2013-12期间在眼科门诊就诊的所有角膜炎患者仔细检查,并对所有与隐形眼镜相关的感染性角膜炎患者进一步检查和调查。

结果：本研究期间,总共108 496位有不同主诉的患者中,1463例(1.3%)患有不同形式的角膜炎,其中151例(0.1%)为隐形眼镜相关感染性角膜炎。结果发现患有隐形眼镜相关感染性角膜炎常见的年龄群<30岁,大多数是学生(64%),家庭人数多且较为拥挤,农村居民高于城市居民,患者采用户外水源及污水处理不卫生。从病史分析发现：隐形眼镜相关感染性角膜炎通常为彻夜使用,储存或者配戴不卫生,或者隐形眼镜来源不安全,例如化妆品商店和理发店。结膜囊微生物培养结果提示阳性率92%,阴性率8%。大多数培养阳性的病例是由细菌和真菌混合感染引起,共53例(38.1%),单纯细菌感染43例(30.9%),真菌31例( 22.3%),阿米巴12例(8.6%)。

结论：与隐形眼镜相关的感染性角膜炎常见于学生群体,与农村生活、户外供水、不卫生的污水处理等危险因素有关。彻夜配戴、储存或配戴不卫生及隐形眼镜来源不安全都可增加隐形眼镜相关感染性角膜炎的发病率。

目的观察清热合剂对上呼吸道感染常见致病菌的体外抑菌活性。方法上呼吸道感染常见致病菌163株中不产超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBLs)革兰阴性菌74株(大肠埃希菌33株,肺炎克雷伯菌24株,铜绿假单胞菌17株);产ESBLs革兰阴性菌10株(大肠埃希菌6株,肺炎克雷伯菌4株);革兰阳性菌79株[耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)11株、甲氧西林敏感金黄色葡萄球菌(MSSA)46株,肺炎链球菌22株]。采用琼脂稀释法对清热合剂进行定量抑菌试验,配制含有不同药物浓度的琼脂平板,在平板上接种待测菌株菌悬液,孵育后观察含药平板,记录最低抑菌浓度(MIC)。结果清热合剂对大肠埃希菌、肺炎克雷伯菌、铜绿假单胞菌等革兰阴性菌的MIC90分别为88、176、22 g/L,其对产ESBLs与不产ESBLs革兰阴性菌的抑菌效果一致;不同浓度药物对铜绿假单胞菌的累积抑菌率均最高。清热合剂对MSSA、MRSA和肺炎链球菌等革兰阳性菌的MIC90分别为11、11、22 g/L,MRSA的MIC90与MSSA相同,但MIC50略高于MSSA;不同浓度药物对MSSA和MRSA的累积抑菌率均高于肺炎链球菌,对MSSA与MRSA的累积抑菌率相近。结论清热合剂对上呼吸道感染常见的致病菌除肺炎克雷伯菌之外均有一定的抑菌作用,对革兰阳性菌的抑菌效果明显优于革兰阴性菌。     

Electronic Public Health Registry of Extensively Drug-Resistant Organisms,Illinois, USA

In response to clusters of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in Illinois, USA, the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Chicago Prevention Epicenter launched a statewide Web-based registry designed for bidirectional data exchange among health care facilities. CRE occurrences are entered and searchable in the system, enabling interfacility communication of patient information. For rapid notification of facilities, admission feeds are automated. During the first 12 months of implementation (November 1, 2013–October 31, 2014), 1,557 CRE reports (≈4.3/day) were submitted from 115 acute care hospitals, 5 long-term acute care hospitals, 46 long-term care facilities, and 7 reference laboratories. Guided by a state and local public health task force of infection prevention specialists and microbiologists and a nonprofit informatics entity, Illinois Department of Public Health deployed a statewide registry of extensively drug-resistant organisms. The legal, technical, and collaborative underpinnings of the system enable rapid incorporation of other emerging organisms.     

粪菌移植在炎症性肠病中的治疗进展

炎症性肠病(IBD)是肠道慢性、复发性自身免疫性疾病,是由遗传易感的宿主对肠道菌群异常的免疫反应所致。近年来,肠道菌群与IBD患病的关系倍受关注。粪菌移植(FMT)是将健康人肠道菌群移植至病人的胃肠道内,重建具有正常功能的肠道菌群。许多研究结果表明,FMT在IBD治疗中有效。以下就国内外FMT中心发表的FMT在IBD病人中治疗进展作一综述。

Role of bile acids and metabolic activity of colonic bacteria in increased risk of colon cancer after cholecystectomy

Since the metabolic activity of the colonic flora plays a definite role in colon cancer and an increased incidence of this disease is reported after cholecystectomy, we studied the metabolic activity of the colonic flora in a group of postcholecystectomy patients and matched controls by measuring, as representative end products of the bacterial metabolism, their fecal bile acids (BA), fecal 3-methylindole (SK) and indole (IN), and respiratory methane and hydrogen. Patients had significantly higher SK and lower IN, and, among BA, higher lithocholic (LCA) and chenodeoxycholic acid concentrations and LCA/deoxycholic acid ratio in the stools than controls. Similar differences from controls were reported for colon cancer. Comparable bacterial metabolic activities are thus operative in the large bowel of postcholecystectomized and colon cancer patients. This supports the biological plausibility of the association of cholecystectomy and colon cancer.
