1. What do Cochrane systematic reviews say about probiotics as preventive interventions?
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Probiotics have been used for a range of clinical situations and their use is strongly encouraged by the media worldwide. This study identified and summarized all Cochrane systematic reviews about the preventive effects of probiotics in clinical practice. DESIGN AND SETTING: Review of systematic reviews, conducted in the Discipline o

2. Efeito de Lactobacillus casei e Bifidobacterium breve na diarréia associada a antimicrobiano : experimento clínico duplo-cego
A diarréia associada ao uso de antimicrobiano (DAA) é caracterizada como aquela desenvolvida depois do início da terapia com antimicrobiano ou até seis a oito semanas após o término do tratamento. É considerada um importante efeito colateral dessa classe de fármacos e ocorre em aproximadamente 5% a 25% dos pacientes em uso de antimicrobiano. O objeti

3. ModulaÃÃo do retinol na lesÃo da barreira morfofuncional induzida pela toxina A do Clostridium difficile em culturas de cÃlulas intestinais / Retinol modulation protecting the morfofunctional barrier challenged the Clostridium difficile Toxin A in intestinal cell lines
Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential nutrient that is necessary in small amounts for normal functioning of the visual system, immune function and reproduction. Our group has investigated the effect of oral dosis of vitamin A on the early childhood diarrhea in our prospective community-based studies in high endemic areas in the Northeast of Brazil and has foun

4. Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea Accompanied by Large-Scale Alterations in the Composition of the Fecal Microbiota
Alterations in the diversity of the gut microbiota are believed to underlie the development of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). A molecular phylogenetic analysis was performed to document temporal changes in the diversity of fecal bacteria of a patient who developed AAD. Antibiotic administration was associated with distinct changes in the diversity of

5. Predominant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea Is Clinically Relevant and Produces Enterotoxin A and the Bicomponent Toxin LukE-LukD
Staphylococcus aureus was isolated as the predominant or only isolate from cultures of stools of 60 patients over 2 years in a university hospital, leading to the collection of 114 isolates. Diarrhea was observed in 90% of the patients. Ninety-eight percent of the patients had received antibiotics in the month before the diarrhea. Ninety-two percent of the S

6. Concomitance of cytotoxigenic and non-cytotoxigenic Clostridium difficile in stool specimens.
Six patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhea and one patient with diarrhea unrelated to antibiotic use yielded both cytotoxigenic and non-cytotoxigenic isolates of Clostridium difficile from the same stool specimens. In addition, these isolates were shown to be pathogenic and nonpathogenic, respectively, in the hamster model of antibiotic-associated coli

7. Elevated Fecal Candida Counts in Patients with Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea: Role of Soluble Fecal Substances
To assess the role of soluble fecal substances in the elevation of fecal Candida counts in patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD), we investigated the growth of Candida albicans in vitro in serially diluted stool fluids from patients with AAD and healthy subjects. There were significantly higher Candida albicans counts in stool fluids diluted 1:1

8. Serogrouping of Clostridium difficile strains by slide agglutination.
Six different agglutinating antisera were obtained by immunizing rabbits with Formol-treated strains of Clostridium difficile. After appropriate absorption, these antisera were used to define six serogroups designated by the letters A, B, C, D, F, and G. Altogether, 315 strains of C. difficile from various origins were tested for slide agglutination by these

9. Isolation of Clostridium difficile from hospitalized patients without antibiotic-associated diarrhea or colitis.
Stool samples from 100 hospitalized patients and 21 healthy adults, obtained between March and June 1980, were cultured on a special selective medium containing cefoxitin and cycloserine to detect Clostridium difficile. This organism was isolated from 13 of the hospitalized patients and from 1 healthy subject. None of the patients with positive cultures had

10. In vitro susceptibility of Clostridium difficile isolates from patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhea or colitis.
In vitro susceptibility tests were performed on 84 strains of Clostridium difficile to 11 antimicrobial agents. All isolates were from the stools of patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhea or colitis in which there was a cytopathic toxin that was neutralized by Clostridium sordellii antitoxin. Over 95% of the strains were susceptible to vancomycin, peni

11. Prevalence of Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in Children with Diarrhea in Japan
In age-matched controlled studies performed in Japan, enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis was isolated from 14.9% of 114 children aged 1 to 14 years with antibiotic-unassociated diarrhea (AUD) and 6.5% of 108 children aged 1 to 6 years with antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). The difference in comparison with control children, was significant for AUD chil

12. Electrophoretic characterization of Clostridium difficile strains isolated from antibiotic-associated colitis and other conditions.
Clostridium difficile has been recognized as the cause of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis and of less severe diarrheal diseases associated with the use of antimicrobial agents. However, healthy carriers of this microorganism have been found, particularly healthy neonates and small children. Various typing systems have been used to clarify the
