C. freundii is an opportunistic pathogen and can be found as a superinfection in those that are immune-deprived‚ especially in the biliary‚ respiratory‚ and urinary tract infections (2). These bacteria can contaminate any body site in those with weakened immune systems‚ especially in the bloodstream‚ surgical wounds‚ the gastronomical tract‚ and the brain (2).

life-threatening infections in humans‚ especially in the nosocomial (hospital) environment‚ where the naturally high levels of antibiotic resistance found in E. faecalis contribute to its pathogenicity. E. faecalis can cause endocarditis and bacteremia‚ urinary tract infections (UTI)‚ meningitis‚ and other infections in humans. Several virulence factors are thought to contribute to E. faecalis infections. A plasmid-encoded hemolysin‚ called the cytolysin‚ is important for pathogenesis in animal models of

ABSTRACT The researchers thought of a topic wherein the researchers could benefit and relate the study to their field which is Medical Technology. The chosen study was entitled Diseases Found through Fecalysis and Urinalysis in the Philippine Women’s University Community. According to the researchers‚ the goal of the study is to determine the common disease of the PWU students since knowing the common disease through urinalysis and fecalysis can help bring out awareness to everyone that these

It is often a cause of lower-respiratory infections‚ including pneumonia. It may also cause urinary tract infections‚ soft tissue infection‚ endocarditis‚ septic arthritis‚ and infections of the skin and underlying tissues. It may also cause wound infections. If the bacteria reach the blood it can lead to sepsis. Enterobacter aerogenes is commonly

In 2008 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) initiated a policy change to no longer reimburse hospitals for additional cost that were incurred due to catheter associated urinary tract infections or in another term CAUT’Is (Palmer‚ 2013). The CMS recognized that CAUTI’s are the most common type of hospital acquired infection. The CMS also determined that when evidence based practices are initiated and followed they can
