This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genetic relatedness of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica and Campylobacter spp. in poultry meat, and to analyze the association of genetic types of these bacteria with their geographical distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles. Fifty-four and 71 of 100 samples were found to be contaminated with Salmonella and Campylobacter, respectively. Nine Salmonella serotypes were found, including S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis (33%), Schwarzengrund (12%), Manhattan (9%), and others. Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli were detected from 64 (64%) and 14 (14%) samples, respectively. S. enterica subsp. enterica exhibited a high frequency of resistance against tetracycline (78.3%) and streptomycin (68.3%). C. jejuni and C. coli isolates were resistant to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (90.5%), nalidixic acid (47.3%), ampicillin (45.9%), and ciprofloxacin (40.5%). Cluster analysis was performed for the Salmonella isolates using PFGE and for the Campylobacter isolates with PFGE as well as comparative genomic fingerprinting. which were combined with the drug-resistance data to analyze with respect to the locations in which the poultry meat was produced. This analysis revealed that C. jejuni strains with a particular genotype and antimicrobial resistance profile are spreading in specific areas in Japan.

Background:The aim of this study was to assess the echocardiographic characteristics of chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in a multicenter prospective cohort study.Methods and Results:Three hundred and fifteen patients with ESRD (67.9±10.6 years, 47.6% male) on chronic HD for ≥1 year were examined on transthoracic echocardiography, including Doppler-derived aortic valve area (AVA) measurement. Only 11.5% and 3.4% of all patients had normal left ventricular (LV) geometry and normal LV filling pattern, respectively. The majority of patients had aortic and mitral valvular calcification, and approximately 50% of all 315 patients had aortic valve narrowing with AVA <2.0 cm2. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to AVA index tertile: group 1, highest tertile; group 2, middle tertile; and group 3, lowest tertile. Group 3 was older, had a greater cardiothoracic ratio on chest X-ray, higher plasma brain natriuretic peptide and total LV afterload, and lower stroke volume index than the other 2 groups. Age and intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) level were independently associated with low AVA index.Conclusions:Patients with ESRD on chronic HD have a high prevalence of cardiac structural and functional abnormalities including calcified aortic sclerosis. High age and PTH were associated with aortic valve narrowing in these patients.
