Serological and pyocin typing and antibiotic sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

94 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from hospitalized patients, were typed with serological and pyocinic methods, also testing their sensitivity to 6 antibiotics. The serological method allowed for the typing of almost all the strains (98.9%), (the 0-11 serotype was the most frequent -23.4%-) vs. 80.6% by the pyocinic method. Among those tested, ceftazidime was the most active antibiotic, against the P. aeruginosa strains examined.

Activity of some antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cancerous patients.

150 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, isolated from pathological samples (urine, faeces, sputum, etc.) of affections developed in cancerous patients have been studied. In vitro, with two different inocula, activities of some cephalosporins--ceftazidime, cefotaxime, cefoperazone--have been compared with those of gentamicin, carbenicillin and tobramycin. Ceftazidime, among the antibiotics tested, has been the most active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

The legionellosis.

Following the discovery of Legionella pneumophila as the cause of an epidemic of pneumonia at an American Legion Convention in Philadelphia, a group of related bacteria were recognized as additional human pathogens. This newly established bacteria genus, Legionella, includes the agents of Legionnaires' Disease, Pittsburgh pneumonia and several related infections. A number of researches have been performed in the past few years about these bacteria; many of these data are here summarized to give an idea of the most important characteristics of Legionella and of the diseases they cause.

[Pathology in firemen].

Fire fighters' respiratory organs, circulatory system and muscular system are often exposed to considerable risks. In fact in addition to the most obvious external stress causes (heat, humidity, O2 decrement, CO2 increment, emotional stress) these workers use heavy equipments and carry people or things. Furthermore always present is the risk of poisoning by inhalation of toxic combustion gas of the fire atmosphere.
