RESUMEN
Objective@#To analyze the etiological characteristics of an outbreak of Campylobacter foodborne disease in a middle school in Suzhou City, so as to provide insights into the identification of pathogenic factors of Campylobacter foodborne disease outbreaks.@*Methods@#Eighteen anal swabs from patients, 10 anal swabs from canteen workers, 43 food samples, 2 drinking water samples, 2 food original material samples and 31 environmental samples were collected, and the pathogens were rapidly screened using the gastrointestinal infection detection strip. The pathogens were isolated and cultured using the double-pore filtration membrane method, and cluster analysis of bacterial isolates was performed using pulsed field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE ). In addition, the susceptibility of Campylobacter isolates to antibiotics was tested using the Campylobacter agar dilution method.@*Results@#A total of 63 cases with Campylobacter infections were reported, and the major clinical symptoms included diarrhea ( 51 cases, 80.95% ) and fever ( 39 cases, 61.90% ), while no inpatients or deaths were found. Twelve Campylobacter-positive samples were detected, including 11 anal swabs sampled from patients and one food original material sample. Among the 11 positive anal swabs, there were 10 samples positive for Campylobacter jejuni and one sample positive for C. coli, and of the one positive food original material, C. coli was identified. PFGE analysis showed that 10 C. jejuni isolates of had 100.0% homology, and these 10 isolates were 100.0% resistant to naphthyridic acid, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline, appearing multidrug resistance.@*Conclusions@#This is an outbreak of foodborne disease caused by C. jejuni infections. Gastrointestinal infection detection strips, double-pore filtration membrane and PFGE typing are rapid and accurate to identify pathogenic factors.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo determine the pathogenic cause in a foodborne diseases outbreak of Salmonella enteritidis in a company in Suzhou City， and provide evidence for epidemiological investigation and guidance for clinical treatment. MethodsRelevant specimens were examined for Salmonella， Shigella， Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Furthermore， for the isolated Salmonella enteritidis， a micro broth dilution method was used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing， and pulsed field gel electrophoresis （PFGE） was used for molecular typing. ResultsA total of 44 strains of Salmonella enteritidis were detected from 43 anal swabs of the patients in the outbreak， 7 anal swabs of canteen employees， 31 retained food specimens and 6 environmental specimens. A total of 15 antimicrobial susceptibility testings showed that the 44 strains had the same antimicrobial resistance spectrum， which was 100% resistant to cefazolin， ampicillin， ampicillin/sulbactam， polymyxin E and nalidixic acid， suggesting a multi-drug resistance to more than three antibiotics. PFGE cluster analysis showed that the 44 strains had a 100% of genetic similarity. ConclusionThe outbreak is caused by the consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella enteritidis. The isolated strains have multi-drug resistance， which could guide appropriate antimicrobial treatment based on the antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
RESUMEN
This paper describes a practical process for a SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin. The target product was synthesized from 1-chloro-2-( 4-ethoxybenzyl)-4-iodobenzene and 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide by iodine-magnesium exchange, and coupling and acetyl removing reactions with the total yield of 50%. This practical process highlights fewer reaction steps, less waste and mild reaction conditions.
