- 1From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: The spread of multiresistant gram-negative bacteria in the general population is a problem of paramount importance, but the responsible mechanisms are poorly understood. Several studies have focused on...
- 2From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes of the VIM-type (six different variants are known: VIM-1, VIM-2, VIM-3, VIM-4, VIM-5, and VIM-6) are new molecular class B metallo-β-lactamases. These enzymes have recently...
- 3From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe Sixth Annual Conference on New and Reemerging Infectious Diseases was hosted April 24-25, 2003, by the Center for Zoonoses Research and the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign...
- 4From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedWe analyzed temporal stability and geographic trends in cumulative case-fatality rates and average doubling times of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). In part, we account for correlations between case-fatality...

From pig to pacifier: chitterling-associated yersiniosis outbreak among black infants. (Dispatches).
In this case-control study of Yersinia enterocolitica infections among black infants, chitterling preparation was significantly associated with illness (p<0.001). Of 13 samples of chitterlings tested, 2 were positive for... - 6From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: In Brazilian hospitals, Acinetobacter spp. has been an important etiologic agent of nosocomial infections, mainly pneumonia (1-3). In general, ampicillin/sulbactam and carbapenems remain the last...

- 9From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedInitial multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) in HIV-negative patients treated at a Buenos Aires referral hospital from 1991 to 2000 was examined by using molecular clustering of available isolates. Of 291...
- 10From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Rickettsia felis is a bacterium transmitted by the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), which also acts as a reservoir by means of transovarial transmission (1-3). The distribution of R. felis is potentially...

- 12From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedWe evaluated whether elderly patients fed with nasogastric tubes (NGT) are predisposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization in the oropharynx. Fifty-three patients on NGT feeding and 50 orally fed controls with...
- 13From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAn explosive outbreak of Legionnaires' disease occurred in Murcia, Spain, in July 2001. More than 800 suspected cases were reported; 449 of these cases were confirmed, which made this the world's largest outbreak of the...
- 14From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedWe conducted a case-control study to identify risk factors for invasive group A streptococcal (GAS) infections, which can be fatal. Case-patients were identified when Streptococcus pyogenes was isolated from a normally...
- 15From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAlthough dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT)is being banned worldwide, countries in sub-Saharan Africa have sought exemptions for malaria control. Few studies show illness in children from the use of DDT, and the...
- 16From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedIn summer 2002, a nationwide outbreak of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis occurred in South Korea. The etiologic agent was confirmed as coxsackievirus A24 variant (CA24v) by virus isolation and sequencing of a part of...
- 17From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedIn Europe, most reported human cases of babesiosis have been attributed, without strong molecular evidence, to infection with the bovine parasite Babesia divergens. We investigated the first known human cases of...
- 18From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAn imipenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolate was recovered from the blood of a patient with a hematologic malignancy. Analytical isoelectric focusing, inhibitor studies, hydrolysis, induction assays, and molecular...
- 19From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedInfections caused by community-acquired (CA)-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been reported worldwide. We assessed whether any common genetic markers existed among 117 CA-MRSA isolates from the...
- 20From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo assess whether screening blood donors could provide early warning of a bioterror attack, we combined stochastic models of blood donation and the workings of blood tests with an epidemic model to derive the...
