Postmortem bacteriology can be a valuable tool for evaluating deaths due to bacterial infection or for researching the involvement of bacteria in various diseases. In this study, time-dependent postmortem bacterial migration into liver, mesenteric lymph node, pericardial fluid, portal, and peripheral vein was analyzed in 33 autopsy cases by bacterial culturing and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). None suffered or died from bacterial infection. According to culturing, pericardial fluid and liver were the most sterile samples up to 5 days postmortem. In these samples, multigrowth and staphylococci were not or rarely detected. RT-qPCR was more sensitive and showed higher bacterial positivity in all samples. Relative amounts of intestinal bacterial DNA (bifidobacteria, bacteroides, enterobacter, clostridia) increased with time. Sterility of blood samples was low during the studied time periods (1-7 days). The best postmortem microbiological sampling sites were pericardial fluid and liver up to 5 days after death.

“…Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens of humans, which can cause many infectious diseases, such as pneumonitis, pseudomembranous colitis, and pericarditis (Stevens et al, 2002;Lodha et al, 2012;Ueda et al, 2012). The pathogenicity of S. aureus mainly depends on its toxins and invasive enzymes.…”

This study aims to investigate the effect of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME)-mediated sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT) on Staphylococcus aureus. SACT was carried out using HMME and 1 MHz ultrasound irradiation. The bactericidal effect was evaluated by the counting colony-forming units (CFU), and important SACT parameters including ultrasound intensity and HMME concentration were determined. More than 95% of the bacteria colonies were effectively killed in the SACT group by 50 μg mL(-1) HMME combined with 6 W cm(-2) tone-burst ultrasound at 1 MHz, but this ultrasound level without HMME only reduced CFU by 38%. In the sonodynamic treatment, higher HMME concentrations and higher ultrasound intensities caused more death of bacteria. Incubation with different HMME concentrations without ultrasound showed no effect. Our results show that the HMME-mediated SACT can be significantly in killing S. aureus.
