About the transition of typhus microorganisms from the mother to the fetus.

The author, studying a fresh fetus born of a typhoid mother, wants to confirm Eberth's view that microorganisms that enter the blood of fetuses born from typhoid mothers are indeed the real typhoid bacillus, and not some or any other saprophyte.

Technical Application Process for Eco-Friendly Cotton by Antimicrobial

Apparel textiles in service will adsorb metabolism perspiration from human body, thus prompting microbial propagation and leading to fiber degradation and splash. More seriously, this microbe gives rise to allergy and red swelling on human skin, which makes our body unwell. Staphylococcus aureus is one of common bacteria on human skin, but its excessive breeding on skin will bring red swelling and inflammation. In order to avoid this situation happening, we add antibacterial ingredients in textiles which were not harmful to human and cannot have negative effect on human. And this study aims at seeking for anti-staphylococcus aureus plants, trying to add ingredients from plants in textiles to discuss their antimicrobial change and investigating whether to be potential in textiles application. Phyllanthus Urinaria Linn (PUL) is common in tropical East Asia and can suppress the growth of bacteria regarding staphylococcus aureus, typhoid bacillus, pseudomonas aeruginosa etc. It is shown that when PUL was treated at 60°C for 6 hours in 300 ml 95 % ethyl alcohols, extract rate was up to 12.53 %. And qualitative antimicrobial was effective between 12g/100ml and 0.09375g/100ml PUL extract liquor. And the fabric qualitative antimicrobial was obviously valid when extract concentration was above 0.75g/100 ml. Therefore, cotton treated by 1.5g/100ml PUL extract liquor had prominent antimicrobial effect.

Flavimonas oryzihabitans (CDC Group Ve-2)

Flavimonas oryzihabitansis an uncommon organism with distinctive microbiological and biochemical features that is infrequently isolated from humans. The presence of foreign material, including indwelling intravascular catheters and artificial grafts, or various surgical procedures appear to predispose patients with underlying disease to bacteremic infection withFlavimonas. A gram-negative bacillus,F oryzihabitansis sensitive to most antibiotics except first- and second-generation cephalosporins.F oryzihabitansisolated from blood should be considered pathogenic in patients with indwelling catheters or prosthetic materials.Previously designatedPseudomonas oryzihabitansand also known as Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Group Ve-2,F oryzihabitansis an unusual gram-negative, nonfermenting, oxidase-negative bacillus that is uncommonly associated with serious illness in humans.’ First described by Dresel and Stickl in 1928 and initially assigned the nameBacterium typhiflavumbecause of its similarity to the typhoid bacillus, the organism has been isolated from a variety of human sources, including blood, wounds, and abscesses, and (in mixed cultures) from sputum, urine, and cervical cultures.

The problem and implications of chloramphenicol resistance in the typhoid bacillus

SUMMARYTransferable chloramphenicol resistance has become common in the typhoid bacillus in countries such as Mexico, India, Vietnam and Thailand. Situations such as this, and others analogous to it in many parts of the world, are the result of the long-term indiscriminate use of chloramphenicol and other antibiotics in the affected areas. They can be rectified only by more rational antibiotic usage.
