[Study of the transferable factors of antibiotic resistance in the enterobacteria isolated at the Regional Hospital Center of Nantes].

Characteristics of transferable resistance of 72 entero-bacteriaceae resistant to one more antibiotic, isolated from February to September 1972, showed that this was common. Multi-resistant strains permit one to obtain transfer of various characteristics either alone or together in 76 per cent of cases, whereas strains with less than three characteristics, transferred in only 9 per cent of cases. The transfers were uncommon in the case of Proteus compared with other enterobacteriaceae and, in particular, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli and Salmonella.

[Serial infections with two herpesviruses after renal transplantation: virological and ultrastructural features (author's transl)].

A fatal case of active viral infection in a transplant patient is reported. On the second month post transplantation, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection occurred. It was attested by clinical and radiological symptoms, transient increase of transaminases and seroconversion with CMV antigen. Patient apparently recovered, but on the third month mucocutaneous Herpesvirus hominis (HVH) infection started. It was rapidly complicated by hepatitis and encephalitis which are directly responsible for the fatal outcome. A strain of HVH type 1 was easily isolated from oral and genital lesions. Immunofluorescence with HVH antiserum was positive on post mortem sample of liver biopsy Ultrastructural changes and intranuclear Herpesvirus like particles were demonstrated in liver. Etiology of hepatitis and management of immunosuppressive therapy are discussed.
