Carriage of Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase- and AmpC-β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) in Healthy Community and Outpatient Department (OPD) Patients in Nepal by Dipendra Kumar Mandal, Shiv Kumar Sah, Shyam Kumar Mishra, Sangita Sharma, Hari Prasad Kattel, Sanjeet Pandit, Pranav Kumar Yadav, Ujjwal Laghu, Rajani Lama, Niranjan Prasad Sah, Jeevan Bahadur Sherchand, Keshav Parajuli, Anup Bastola, Sher Bahadur Pun, Basista Prasad Rijal, Bharat Mani Pokharel

“…Our study revealed a high prevalence of ESBL- and AmpC-β-lactamase-producing enteric pathogen in Nepalese OPD and healthy population. The significant increase of these isolates and increased rate of drug resistance indicates a serious threat that stress the need to implement the surveillance system and a proper control measure so as to limit the spread of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) in both OPD as well as in community. …”

Myocarditis and neutrophil-mediated vascular leakage but not cytokine storm associated with fatal murine leptospirosisResearch in context by Stylianos Papadopoulos, David Hardy, Frédérique Vernel-Pauillac, Magali Tichit, Ivo G. Boneca, Catherine Werts

“…Methods: To investigate the causes of death in lethal leptospirosis, we compared intraperitoneal infection of male and female C57BL6/J mice with 108 Leptospira of two strains of pathogenic L. interrogans. One strain, L. interrogans Manilae L495, killed the mice 4 days after infection, whereas the other strain, L. interrogans Icterohaemorrhagiae Verdun, did not induce any major symptoms in the mice. …”
