- summary: In total the zoonotic variant of H5N1 avian flu and H9N2 is very common in people in contact with poultry; it is banal and most of the time, asymptomatic. This current work [2] has just confirmed what was noted for several years but had been denied, which is the high occurrence of asymptomatic infection in people who are in contact with infected poultry.

- summary: Resistance to penicillin, clindamycin and tetracycline fluctuated over time at~75%, 4−8% and 2−10% respectively. The median expected power was 10.0% (IQR, 7.2−13.6%) for a risk ratio for mortality of 0.85 between the compared groups; 14.7% (IQR, 10.6−21.8%) for a risk ratio of 0.80; and 7.9% (IQR, 6.3−10.2%) for a reduction in mortality from 30% to 25%.

- summary: Each of these components needs to be carefully addressed when using POC tests for the diagnosis of respiratory tract infections. Given the enthusiasm with which POC tests are being developed, it is likely that they will be used more and more widely.

- summary: According to seroepidemiologic surveys, Chlamydia pneumoniae infections are 20-50 times more common than Chlamydia psitfari infections [15,16]. It should also be attempted in Chlamydia pneumoniae infections in order to obtain information on disease associations and strain variability of this newly recognized pathogen.

- summary: Mean age (78 vs 77), Charlson score (2.5 vs. 2.6), neoplasm (22% vs. 21%), HIV (0.7% vs. 0.8%), chronic liver disease (9% vs.7%), diabetes mellitus ( 19% vs.22%), ICU admission (4% vs. 4%), monotherapy (63% vs. 66%), and aetiology (S. pneumoniae 34% vs. 36%; L. pneumophila 3% vs.2%; others 8% vs.11%; unknown 54% vs.51%) were similar. The same was found for mecillinam, i.e. no correlation for AUC/MIC vs. CFÚ s in urine or organs, while Time > MIC % significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with CFÚ s in urine (R 2 = 0.48), and kidney tissue (R 2 = 0.82), respectively.

- summary: In the first half-year of 2005 family doctors most often prescribed penicyllins -(44.8%), makrolids -(27.1%), cephalosporins -(12.5%), tetracyclins -(9.4%) and lincozamidsbased (3.1%) treatments Specialist doctors, on the other hand, prescribed penicllins (41.7%), makrolids (17.9%), cephalosporins (17.7%), tetracyclins (12.1%), lincozamids (5.2%) and chinolons (3%). State-wide antibiotic consumption in the AC setting during the same time was 12 DID (~85% of total consumption).

- summary: The maximum amino acid identities of genes among different non-antibiotic-producing bacterial isolates were close to 100% for most genes, but those between antibiotic-producing and human or animal bacteria ranged from <28 to <77%. Results: Seven or eight participants provided qualifying results in the two separate QC studies, and the calculated (proposed) ranges were (range; % results in range): E. faecalis ATCC 29212 (2-8 mg/ L; 95.6), S. aureus ATCC 29213 (0.5-2 mg/L; 99.4), S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619 (0.25-1 mg/L; 97.5 and 30-37 mm; 97.6), H. influenzae ATCC 49247 (1-4 mg/L; 97.5 and 24-32 mm; 99.8), and S. aureus ATCC 25923

- summary: There was heterogeneity in the outcomes of the studies that were included in the meta-analysis, as some reported whether bacterial infection was noted on presentation to the hospital (n=20 studies; termed bacterial co-infection), while the remaining studies reported whether a concomitant bacterial infection developed during the course of the patient's hospitalization (n=8 studies; termed secondary bacterial infection). Interestingly, stratification of patients by illness severity showed that bacterial infections were more prevalent in fatal (11.6%) and ICU (8.1%) cases relative to non-ICU hospitalized patients (5.8%).

- summary: In this work, we aimed at evaluating a possible association between the severity of clinical manifestations and viral load over time, during the epidemiological transition from high to low transmission setting. As for viral load, we observed a trend of Ct increasing from a median value of 24 (IQR 19-29) to 34 (IQR 29-37) between March and May, with a statistically significant difference between March and April (Pairwise Wilcoxon test with Stepdown Bonferroni Adjustment for multiple testing, p=0.0003).

- summary: Although it is difficult to differentiate between different respiratory viral infections on the basis of clinical symptomatology alone, our results suggested that a number of symptoms were more commonly reported by patients with influenza virus infections than by patients with infections caused by other respiratory viruses. Symptomatology was examined by comparing clinical symptoms of different respiratory virus infections by the use of Pearson's chi-square test (χ 2 ) or Fisher's exact test (FE).
