The Past

Recent years have brought a reversal in the attitude of the medical profession toward the diagnosis of viral infections. Identification of bacterial pathogens was formerly thought to be faster than identification of viral pathogens. Viral identification was dismissed as being of academic interest or for confirming the presence of an epidemic, because the patient would recover or die before this could be accomplished. In the past 10 years, the goal of virologists has been to present the clinician with a viral identification in a matter of hours. This fast diagnosis has the potential for shortening the patient's hospital stay and preventing the administering of toxic and/or expensive antibiotics of no benefit to the patient.

SummaryPlasma and serum antithrombin levels were measured in functional (initial rate measurement) and immunological assays together with serum lipid levels in normal subjects and patients with coronary artery disease. Specific antithrombin activity in plasma showed a negative correlation with triglyceride levels. The consumption of antithrombin activity during blood clotting was negatively correlated with both serum total triglyceride and heparin precipitable lipoprotein and positively correlated with serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Different blood lipoprotein fractions may influence the activity of the antithrombin III molecule.

Selection Of

The study involved the selection of two isolates from Bacillus subtilis to investigate their inhibitory activity against some bacterial pathogens. B sub-bacteria were found to have a broad spectrum against test bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They were about 23-30 mm and less against Klebsiella sp. The sensitivity of some antibodies was tested on the test samples. The results showed that the inhibitory ability of bacterial growth in the test samples using B. subtilis extract was more effective than the antibiotics used.
