75% of the mortality associated with burn injuries is related to infection The aim of the present study was to identify the bacterial profile of burn wound infection (BWI) in our setting and determine their susceptibility pattern to commonly used antibiotics.This prospective study was conducted over a period of one year in a teaching tertiary care hospital, Chennai. A total of 100 patients with burns of total body surface area (TBSA) of 20% to 40% were included. Three wound swabs on 1st , 4 th and 7th day were collected aseptically and processed.

The expression of the colonic mitochondrial 3-hydroxy 3-methyl glutaryl CoA (mHMGCoA) synthase,a key con-trol site of ketogenesis from butyrate,is lower in germ-free (GF) than in conventional (CV) rats. In contrast,the activity of glutaminase is higher. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the intestinal flora can affect gene expression through short chain fatty acid (SCFA) and butyrate production. GF rats were inoculated with a con-ventional flora (Ino-CV) orwitha bacterial strainproducing butyrate (Clostridium paraputrificum,Ino-Cp) or not (Bifidobacterium breve,Ino-Bb).

Harrison's Internal Medicine Chapter 138. Moraxella Infections Moraxella catarrhalis The gram-negative coccus Moraxella catarrhalis is a component of the normal bacterial flora of the upper airways and has been increasingly recognized as a cause of otitis media, sinusitis, and bronchopulmonary infection. Over the past several decades, this organism has been variously designated as Micrococcus catarrhalis, Neisseria catarrhalis, and Branhamella catarrhalis. Bacteriology and Immunity On Gram's staining, M.

Host Defenses Given the enormous number of microorganisms ingested with every meal, the normal host must combat a constant influx of potential enteric pathogens. Studies of infections in patients with alterations in defense mechanisms have led to a greater understanding of the variety of ways in which the normal host can protect itself against disease. Normal Flora The large numbers of bacteria that normally inhabit the intestine act as an important host defense by preventing colonization by potential enteric pathogens.
