Article Abstract
The present study aimed to identify bacterial agents in shoulder surgery specimens from patients with no history of previous shoulder infection or surgery. Tendon, bursa, and bone specimens were collected during surgery, stored in sterile dry bottles, and sent to a hospital-associated laboratory for culture growth analysis in media for aerobic and anaerobic agents. Findings from 141 samples from 47 shoulders were analyzed. The cultures were negative in 46 cases (97.8%) and in 140 samples (99.2%). The culture was positive in a single patient, with growth of from one of three specimens collected. The rates of bacterial growth were not consistent with the international literature, indicating the low effectiveness of laboratory methods used in Brazil.

The genus Flapocephalus Deshmukh, 1979, is a little-known group of lecanicephalidean cestodes parasitizing cowtail rays (genus Pastinachus Rüppell) mainly in the Indo-Pacific region. Since the erection of the genus, with Flapocephalus trygonis Deshmukh, 1979, as the type species, and the description of a second species, Flapocephalus saurashtri Shinde and Deshmukh, 1979, both from Pastinachus sephen (Fabricius) from India, reports of this genus have been restricted mainly to brief mentions or discussion of its validity and taxonomic placement. More recently, phylogenetic analyses based on molecular sequence data that included specimens of Flapocephalus have supported Flapocephalus as a distinct genus allied with the Polypocephalidae Meggitt, 1924.

Two recent Phase 3 trials demonstrated the efficacy of gepotidacin compared with nitrofurantoin to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) in females. Pretreatment urine specimens were obtained from all participants. Based on pooled trial data (treatment groups combined), central laboratory culture results identified 1,421 (45%) participants with ≥1 baseline qualifying (≥10 CFU/mL) uropathogen (i.

It is a gram-positive anaerobic bacteria or microaerobic filamentation bacteria, which can induce pyogenic and granulomatous inflammation characterized by swelling and concomitant pus, sinus formation, and the formation of yellow sulfur granules. All tissues and organs can be infected; the most common type involves the neck and face (55%), followed by the abdominal and pelvic cavities (20%).
