There was evidence that exposure to a particular type of bacteria, known as gram-negative rods, was also related to lower rates of allergic responses. ❋ Shirley S. Wang (2011)
Also known as gram-negative bacteremia and gram-positive bacteremia, sepsis occurs when infectious agents like bacteria or fungi or products of infection like bacterial toxins enter the body, most often through a wound or incision. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)
Aureus, Enterococcus species or various bacterial species from a group known as gram-negative rods. ❋ FRAN LOWRY (2011)
Overall, two thirds of the swab cultures were positive for either S. aureus (26 percent), Enterococcus species (44 percent) or various bacterial species from a group known as gram-negative rods (22 percent). ❋ Unknown (2011)
A shunt infection can be devastating for the neonate or premature infant, especially when it involves gram-negative organisms. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Agency inspectors found that raw materials set aside for use to make several lots were contaminated with gram-negative bacteria, according to the inspection report. ❋ Unknown (2010)
"Normalization of leaky gut in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is accompanied by a clinical improvement: effects of age, duration of illness and the translocation of LPS from gram-negative bacteria." ❋ Unknown (2010)
Unlike resistant forms of Klebsiella and other gram-negative bacteria, however, MRSA can be treated. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Manipulations simulating enhanced UV-B radiation levels and a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration for seven years altered the use of labile carbon substrates by gram-negative bacteria, suggesting a change in community composition. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Manipulations simulating enhanced UV-B radiation levels (equivalent to a 15% reduction in stratospheric ozone levels) and a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentrations for seven years altered the use of labile C substrates by gram-negative bacteria [64]. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The researchers experiments additionally determined that hydramacin-1 kills a wide variety of bacteria – in both the gram-positive and gram-negative families. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Scientists believed that gram-negative bacteria breaks down the proteins in the mouth and causes that nasty-smelling breath on people. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Hospitals are now scrambling to come up with strategies to fight both gram-positive and gram-negative classes of bacteria, without increasing the chances that preventing one will lead to the rise of the other. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Most worrisome, says Centers for Disease Control and Prevention epidemiologist Arjun Srinivasan, is that bacteria like acinetobacter are becoming resistant to the class of drugs known as carbapenems, considered a last line of defense for gram-negative organisms. ❋ Unknown (2008)
"The gram-negative bacteria are catapulting past MRSA and now getting resistant to almost every antibiotic, which can mean a death sentence" for the sickest patients says Peter Pronovost, a professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The gram-negative bugs that pose the biggest threat include acinetobacter baumannii enterobacter aerogenes, and pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can attack through wounds, surgical incisions, central lines, respirators and catheters. ❋ Unknown (2008)
In partnership with the Michigan Hospital Association, Dr. Pronovost developed a program to prevent bloodstream infections, which can be caused by both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and often strike patients in ICUs with large catheters inserted into their veins. ❋ Unknown (2008)
While they don't cause disease in healthy people, infections by gram-negative bacteria can be devastating for those with weak immune systems: wounded soldiers, burn victims, cancer and AIDS patients, the elderly, premature infants and those with severe injuries or illnesses. ❋ Unknown (2008)
