Abstract

We report on the first detection of 2 cases of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type a (Hia) disease in Italy. The cases were sustained by the same Hia "strain" belonging to the ST23 clone that has previously been reported only outside Europe. The emergence of invasive Hia disease is of concern., (© The Author 2017. Published by Oxford University Press for the Infectious Diseases Society of America. All rights reserved.

Abstract

We report the first case of neonatal bacteremia caused by a "Haemophilus quentini" isolate in Italy. The isolate was differentiated from H. influenzae by 16S rRNA sequencing and was characterized by comparison with the wild-type "H. quentini" CCUG 36167. Both isolates carried substitutions in penicillin-binding protein 3 but were susceptible to aminopenicillins., (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

We describe the first reported cases of invasive type e Haemophilus influenzae disease in Italy. All five cases occurred in adults. The isolates were susceptible to ampicillin and eight other antimicrobial agents. Molecular analysis showed two distinct type e strains circulating in Italy, both containing a single copy of the capsulation locus.

6. Prevalence of non-specific vaginitis and correlation with isolation of Gardnerella vaginalis in Italian outpatients.

Abstract

Among all subjects attending a Center for prevention of female genital tract cancer Gardnerella vaginalis was isolated from 57 out of 171 women affected by non-specific vaginitis (NSV), from 15 of 703 non-NSV vaginitis patients and from 10 of 338 healthy adults. Postmenopausal women showed an increased rate of asymptomatic carriage of G. vaginalis. The data suggest a relatively weak association between clinical diagnosis of NSV and isolation of G. vaginalis.

7. [Gardnerella vaginalis: role of a microorganism emerging as a vaginopathic agent and its placement in the vaginal microbial ecosystem].

Author

Abstract

In this review the role of an emergent pathogen, Gardnerella vaginalis (G. vaginalis), as aetiologic agent of the so called "non specific vaginitis" is systematically evaluated. The microorganism is described in its morphological, biochemical and virulence aspects in the framework of the complex vaginal ecosystem. The diagnostic criteria of the disease as well as a possible association of G. vaginalis with other vaginal bacteria, especially anaerobes, in the aetiology of the disease, are discussed. Literature data on prevalence and incidence of G. vaginalis in different population groups are integrated by more recent investigations of the Authors on prevalence and carriage of microorganism in a group of outpatients in Italy.
