New panel of microsatellite alterations detectable in the EBC for lung cancer prognosis
Our research group demonstrated, in a precedent study, the prognostic power of the 3p microsatellites alterations (MAs) detectable in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in NSCLC patients. The analysis of genetic markers in the EBC might have precious clinical and economic consequences when inserted in diagnostic and follow up programs for lung cancer.The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of a new panel of MAs in the EBC of patients with NSCLC.We enrolled 45 NSCLC patients during a period of 36 months and the follow-up period was 156 weeks. We analyzed MAs for eight markers in EBC samples: D3S2338, D3S1266, D3S1300, D3S1304, D3S1289, D5S2094, D3S1313, and AFMa305ye1. Our study showed that the presence of more than 2 simultaneous MAs reduces outcome in NSCLC patients. The new panel of eight microsatellites markers proposed in EBC samples could have a potential clinical role in assessing survival in lung cancer patients
ENTEROTOXIGENIC AND METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) IN DAIRY PRODUCTS OF APULIA REGION (ITALY)- PRELIMINARY DATA
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important foodborne pathogens and its pathogenicity is related to the production of staphyloccocal enterotoxins (SEs). The use of antibiotics in veterinary practices, could determine the selection of antibiotic-resistant clones of S. aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). In this note are reported the results of the characterization of S. aureus isolates from milk and cheeses produced in Apulia Region (Sauthern Italy)
