Abstract:
The ability to rapidly differentiate coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) fromStaphylococcus aureusand to determine methicillin resistance is important as it affects the decision to treat empiric antibiotic selection. The objective of this study was to evaluate CHROMagarS. aureusand CHROMagar MRSA (Becton Dickinson) for rapid identification ofStaphylococcusspp. directly from blood cultures. Consecutive blood culture bottles (BacT Alert 3D SA and SN, bioMérieux) growing gram-positive cocci in clusters were evaluated. An aliquot was plated onto CHROMagar MRSA (C-MRSA) and CHROMagarS. aureus(C-SA) plates, which were read at 12 to 16 hours. C-SA correctly identified 147/147S. aureus(100% sensitivity); 2 CoNS were misidentified asS. aureus(98% specificity). C-MRSA correctly identified 74/77 MRSA (96% sensitivity). None of the MSSA isolates grew on C-MRSA (100% specificity). In conclusion, CHROMagar is a rapid and sensitive method to distinguish MRSA, MSSA, and coagulase-negativeStaphylococcusand may decrease time of reporting positive results.

Abstract:
Introduction:Candida auris is a major threat to public health. Rapid detection is essential for early treatment and transmission control. The use of chromogenic media allows the presumptive identification of this new species. The aim of this study is to describe the morphological characteristics of C. auris colonies on three commercial chromogenic media. Methods: Nineteen C. auris isolates from different countries/clades and 18 isolates of other species were cultivated in CHROMagarTM Candida Plus, HiCromeTM Candida, CHROMagar-Candida, and fluconazole-supplemented (32 mg/L) CHROMagar-Candida media. Results: On CHROMagarTM Candida Plus and HiCromeTM Candida, C. auris isolates from Colombia, Venezuela, India, Korea, and Japan displayed blue-shaded colonies, while isolates from Spain and Germany exhibited light pink shades with a bluish halo. All isolates showed white to pink colonies on CHROMagar-Candida. On CHROMagar Candida supplemented with fluconazole, whilst C. auris, C. glabrata, or C. krusei showed a similar pink color at 48 h incubation, phenotypic differentiation was possible by the rough, paraffin-like texture or the intense purple color acquired by C. krusei and C. glabrata, respectively. Moreover, in this medium, the presence of C. auris in combination with other species of similar color was not limiting for its early identification, due to this medium selecting only strains resistant to this antifungal. Conclusions: The use of chromogenic media such as CHROMagarTM Candida Plus facilitates a presumptive identification of C. auris. However, this identification can be difficult in the presence of mixed cultures. In these cases, the use of CHROMagarTM Candida medium with 32 mg/L fluconazole offers better performance for the identification of C. auris by inhibiting fluconazole-susceptible strains and selecting rare or high fluconazole MIC (>32 mg/L) isolates.

Abstract:
Objective. To detect vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) using chromogenic selective medium CHROMagar™VRE (CHROMagar, France). Materials and Methods. In the first part of the study, a total of 39 vancomycin-resistant and 20 vancomycinsusceptible Enterococcus spp. isolated from blood culture with known susceptibility profiles were incubated on the CHROMagar™VRE (CHROMagar, France) and examined after 24 h and 48 h of incubation. In the second part of the study, a total of 110 rectal swabs were taken from patients with hematological malignancies and incubated on the CHROMagar™VRE. The vancomycin susceptibility of isolates grown on the selective medium was further evaluated by the broth microdilution method (CLSI, 2017). Glycopeptide resistance genes were detected by PCR. Results. Using the CHROMagar™VRE, a total of 36 (92.3%) vancomycin-resistant isolates were detected after 24 h and additional two isolates – after 48 h of incubation. The sensitivity of the selective medium for detection of VRE obtained from blood culture was 92% and 97% after 24 h and 48 h of incubation, respectively. All 20 vancomycin-susceptible enterococci did not grow on the CHROMagar™VRE (specificity – 100%). Of 110 rectal swabs, 35 (31.8%) samples were positive for Enterococcus spp. on the CHROMagar™VRE (33 – E. faecium и 2 – E. faecalis). Resistance to vancomycin was detected in 32⁄33 (97%) E. faecium isolates, of them 28 and 4 strains were isolated after 24 h and 48 h of incubation; all VRE strains carried vanA gene. The proportion of false positive isolates was 3.4% after 24 h of incubation and 8.6% after 48 h of incubation on the CHROMagar™VRE medium for screening of VRE from rectal swabs. Conclusions. The chromogenic selective media CHROMagar™VRE has a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of VRE and can be used for screening in laboratory practice.

Abstract:
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are zoonotic pathogens that cause symptoms of severe gastrointestinal disease, including haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), in humans. Currently in England, STEC serotypes other than O157:H7 are not cultured at the local hospital laboratories. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of CHROMagar STEC for the direct detection of STEC from faecal specimens in a diagnostic setting, compared to the current reference laboratory method using PCR targeting the Shiga-toxin gene (stx) to test multiple colonies cultured on MacConkey agar. Of the 292 consecutive faecal specimens submitted to the Gastrointestinal Bacterial Reference Unit that tested positive for stx by PCR, STEC could not be cultured on MacConkey agar or CHROMagar STEC from 87/292 (29.8 %). Of the 205 that were cultured, 106 (51.7 %) were detected on both MacConkey agar and CHROMagar STEC and 99 (48.3 %) were detected on MacConkey agar only. All 106 (100 %) isolates that grew on CHROMagar STEC had the ter gene cassette, known to be associated with resistance to tellurite, compared to 13/99 (13.1 %) that were not detected on CHROMagar STEC. CHROMagar STEC supported the growth of 36/40 (90 %) isolates harbouring stx2a or stx2d, the subtypes most frequently associated with progression to HUS. Of the 92 isolates harbouring eae, an important STEC virulence marker, 77 (83.7 %) grew on CHROMagar STEC. CHROMagar STEC is a useful selective media for the rapid, near-patient detection of STEC that have the potential to cause HUS.

Abstract:
Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of CHROMagar Orientation for its ability to support the growth and identification of uropathogens by keeping API 20E/20NE as a gold standard.
 Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
 Place and Duration of Study: Department of Microbiology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jun to Nov 2019.
 Methodology: A total of 470 midstream specimen of urine from patients suspected of UTIs were analyzed. Urine specimens were inoculated by 1µL calibrated sterilized loop each on CLED Agar, Blood agar and CHROMagar Orientation media plates.Culture plates were incubated at 35.00±2.00ºC for 18 to 24 hours. As per standard protocols, isolates were identified by colony morphology, Gram stain, catalase, oxidase, DNAase, coagulase, and API 20E/20NE. In addition, the appearance of microorganism on CHROMagar Orientation media were identified according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
 Results: Out of 470 samples, 211 showed no growth, 90 were classified as mix growth (polymicrobial), and 169 samples were positive (unimicrobial) for the growth of uropathogens. All the samples positive for bacterial growth on conventional media were also positive on CHROMagar orientation and vice versa. The sensitivity and specificity of CHROMagar Orientation for differentiation of uropathogens were 99% and 100%, respectively.
 Conclusion: The overall findings of our study suggested that CHROMagar supports the growth of all uropathogens. It provided the rapid identification of organisms based on their colour morphology, even in a mixed bacterial culture, growth within 24 hours easily.

Abstract:
Abstract BBL CHROMagar Salmonella was evaluated by an external food testing laboratory for the recovery of Salmonella in peanut butter using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Bacteriological Analytical Manual (FDA-BAM) procedure. The peanut butter was found to be negative for the presence of Salmonella and, therefore, was seeded with heat-stressed Salmonella at target concentrations of 0.2 and 2 CFU/25 g. The Salmonella-seeded samples remained at room temperature for 14 days before analysis to stabilize the Salmonella in the food environment. Twenty 25 g test portions from each seeded level and five 25 g samples of uninoculated control samples were processed using enrichment broths as outlined in the FDA-BAM procedure. BBL CHROMagar Salmonella-prepared plates were evaluated with the FDA reference method media (bismuth sulfite, xylose lysine desoxycholate, and Hektoen enteric agars). Fractionally positive results were obtained from the lower inoculum level of peanut butter samples. Five positive cultures were recovered from both the BBL CHROMagar Salmonella and reference methods. The two methods gave identical results for all cultures resulting in a method agreement of 100%. McNemar's 2 test, which assesses the evidence for difference in marginal proportions between two methods, could not be evaluated because it requires one or more discrepant cultures. However, because there were no discrepant cultures, the marginal proportions for the two methods were identical; therefore, there is no evidence of a difference between the methods. This study demonstrates that the results from BBL CHROMagar Salmonella are comparable to the three reference method media for the detection of Salmonella in peanut butter using the FDA-BAM procedures.

Abstract:
Betalaktamaser med utvidgat spektrum så kallade Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) är enzymer som produceras av bakterier och som har en avgörande roll ur kliniskt perspektiv då de blir resistenta mot de flesta antibiotika vilket leder till begränsade behandlingsalternativ. För att selektera fram dessa bakterier användes kromogena agarplattor vid odling, vilka selekterade bort jästsvampar och grampositiva bakterier och underlättar detektionen av ESBL-positiva stammar. Syftet med studien var att jämföra tre olika selektiva agarplattor CHROMagar ESBL, ChromID ESBL och CHROMagar C3GR genom att utvärdera deras specificitet och sensitivitet. Totalt användes 130 olika patientprover från feces, blod, sår och urin, vilka valdes ut slumpmässigt ur den rutinmässiga diagnostiken. Proverna odlades på de tre agarplattor. De bakteriestammar som växte fram artidentifierades med IVD Maldi Biotyper och resistensbestämdes med VITEK. Den totala sensitiviteten för ESBL, med ett 95 % konfidensintervall, efter 16 timmars aerob inkubering i 37° C var 96,7 % (KI 95% 81,0 – 99,9 %) för de tre agarplattorna. Specificiteten var 94,0 % (KI 95%  86,9 – 97,5%) för CHROMagar ESBL, 93,1 % (KI 95%  85,6– 96,9%) för ChromID ESBL och 73,0 % (KI 95% 63, 0- 81,2 %) för CHROMagar C3GR. De tre agarplattor uppvisade jämförbar sensitivitet men skillnaden i specificitet där ansåg CHROMagar ESBL och ChromID ESBL erhöll likvärdiga resultat.<br>Bacteria that produce enzymes with extended spectrum, Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBLs), have a major role in a clinical perspective since they became resistant to most antibiotics, leading to limited treatment options. In order to detect the bacteria, chromogenic agar plates were used for culture in order to inhibit growth of yeast and gram positive bacteria and enables the detection of ESBL-positive strains. The aim of this study was to compare three chromogenic agar plates CHROMagar ESBL, ChromID ESBL and CHROMagar C3GR regarding their specificity and sensitivity. A total of 130 different samples from faeces, blood, wounds and urine were randomly selected for the routine diagnosis. The samples were grown on the three chromogenic agar plates and were species identified by IVD Maldi biotypes and resistance determined with VITEK. The overall sensitivity for ESBLs with 95% confidence interval, after 16 hours of aerobic incubation at 37° C was 96.7 % (CI 81.0-99.9 %) for the three agar plates. The specificity showed 94.0 % (CI 86.9-97.5 %) for CHROMagar ESBL, 93.1 % (CI 85,6- 96.9 %) for ChromID ESBL and 73.0 % (CI 63, 0- 81 , 2 %) for CHROMagar C3GR. All three chromogenic agar plates were equally sensitive but the specificity differed. CHROMagar ESBL and ESBL ChromID were considered equivalent.

Abstract:
Humanpatogena stammar av bakterien Yersinia enterocolitica kan orsaka akut gastroenterit. För identifiering av bakterien odlas fecesprover ut på CIN-agar. På senare år har en kromogen agarplatta framtagits som differentierar mellan patogena och apatogena stammar av Y. enterocolitica. Syftet med studien är att jämföra och utvärdera två CIN-agar, med agarbaser och supplement från två olika företag (Liofilchem och Oxoid), och CHROMagar Y. enterocolitica (CHROMagar). Odling av fecesprover samt seriespädning av sex Y. enterocolitica stammar och en Y. pseudotuberculosis utfördes. Vid utodlade fecesprover jämfördes växt och hämning av övriga bakterier. Vid seriespädning räknades antal kolonier på plattorna för respektive spädning, samt utseende av kolonier på plattor bedömdes. Resultatet tyder på att skillnad av hämningseffekt av Y. enterocolitica och utseende på kolonierna finns mellan de två CIN-agarplattorna. Oxoid’s CIN-agar erhöll större kolonier, lägre hämningseffekt av Y. enterocolitica och detektionsgräns än Liofilchem’s CIN-agar. På CHROMagar-plattan växte de patogena stammarna med bleklila kolonier och de apatogena stammarna med blåa kolonier. Hämningseffekt av Y. enterocolitica hos CHROMagar-plattan är densamma som Oxoid’s CIN-agar. Slutsatsen är således att Oxoid’s CIN-agar och CHROMagar har samma hämningseffekt av Y. enterocolitica men CHROMagar differentierar mellan patogena och apatogena stammar. Liofilchem’s CIN-agar har högre hämningseffekt än CHROMagar och Oxoid’s CIN-agar.<br>Pathogenic strains of Yersinia enterocolitica can cause acute gastroenteritis in humans. To identify the bacterium, cultivation of stool samples on CIN-agar are performed. A chromogenic medium has been developed that differentiate between pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of Y. enterocolitica. The purpose is to compare and evaluate two CIN-agar, with agar bases and supplements from two companies (Liofilchem and Oxoid), and CHROMagar Y. enterocolitica (CHROMagar). Growth of stool samples and serial dilutions of six Y. enterocolitica strains and one strain of Y. pseudotuberculosis were performed. Comparisons of the growth and inhibition of other bacteria were done for the stool samples. Colonies for each dilution were counted and appearance of the colonies was evaluated. The result indicates that a difference in inhibitory effect on Y. enterocolitica and appearance of colonies exist between the two CIN-agar. All strains grew with larger colonies on Oxoid CIN-agar than on Liofilchem’s. Oxoid CIN-agar and CHROMagar have a lower inhibitory effect on Y. enterocolitica than Liofilchem’s. On CHROMagar, the pathogenic strains grew with mauve colonies, whilst the nonpathogenic strains grew with blue colonies. Thus, the conclusion is that CHROMagar and Oxoid CIN-agar have less inhibitory effect on Y. enterocolitica than Liofilchem’s. CHROMagar can differentiate between pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains.

Abstract:
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important and common pathogen causing community- and healthcare-associated infection. Culture methods were used for identification of MRSA for a long period of time, however it spends a lot of time on incubation and 1 to 2 days is needed to obtain the identification and antibiogram. Molecular tests were developed in the past decades and different genes were used. In this study a Staphylococcus aureus-specific gene, sau gene was designed and accompanied with mecA gene to detect the presence of MRSA in 322 nasal swabs from Tuen Mun Hospital. To evaluate the performance of in-house RT-PCR, samples were run in parallel with LightCycler? MRSA Advanced test and BBLTM CHROMagar? MRSA. 75 (23%) of samples were MRSA positive. The sensitivities and specificities of in-house RT-PCR and LightCycler? MRSA Advanced test were 76.7%/ 89.2% and 87.8%/ 96.6% respectively. The mean processing time for a batch of 32 samples by CHROMagar, in-house RT-PCR and LightCycler? MRSA Advanced test were 48.9 hours, 134.4 mins and 149.8 mins. In-house RT-PCR showed comparable performance and short turnaround time. sau gene can be used with mecA gene for the detection of MRSA in nasal swab.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Medicine<br>Master<br>Master of Medical Sciences

Abstract:
Les dépôts multicouches sont largement utilisés industriellement depuis plusieurs années. Décoratifs ou véritables dépôts (multi)fonctionnels dans des domaines aussi variés que la mécanique (amélioration de l'endurance en fatigue, résistance à la corrosion, lubrification) ou l'opto-électronique (actuateurs), les raisons de leur emploi sont multiples : ils réduisent considérablement les coûts en matière tout en conservant la plupart des propriétés et proposent des alternatives intéressantes pour la miniaturisation. A des épaisseurs extrêmement faibles, l'apparition de propriétés exceptionnelles récemment démontrées comme le changement de réseau cristallin, le supermodule, la supraconductivité ou encore la magnétorésistance géante (GMR) tunnel ou d'anisotropie leur promet un champ d'applications potentielles étendu. L'ère de la "spintronique" (A. Fert, 1988) ouvre la voie à la fabrication de dispositifs magnétiques d'enregistrement et de lecture plus performants et plus rapides. Les travaux de recherches menés dans le cadre de la thèse sont consacrés à l’élaboration de ces nouveaux matériaux par voie électrochimique (électrodéposition en milieu aqueux) et à l'étude des propriétés mécaniques et magnétiques des nanomatériaux obtenus. Ces nouveaux matériaux sont élaborés à partir d'une méthode électrolytique de préparation originale pour ce qui concerne l’utilisation du chrome: la technique du bain unique ("single bath technique" SBT). Une solution aqueuse contenant du chrome (métal peu noble) trivalent complexé en forte concentration et du sulfate de cobalt (métal noble) en concentration modérée a permis, en faisant varier significativement la polarisation cathodique en mode potentiostatique, d'obtenir des nanomatériaux lamellaires originaux. Cette méthode rend également possible l’obtention "d’alliages Cr-Co", les co-dépôts en résultant présentant une structure inédite. Dans la perspective du développement durable, ce procédé simple, de coût et d’impact sur l’environnement (substitution du chrome hexavalent par le chrome trivalent) réduits, pourrait être une alternative séduisante aux méthodes de préparation coûteuses et contraignantes employées à l'heure actuelle (CVD, pulvérisation cathodique ou évaporation thermique pour les multicouches, fusion pour les alliages)<br>Multilayered deposits are industrially employed since many years. Whereas they are used for decorative plating or as (multi)functional deposits, they are ever used in various domains such as mechanics (corrosion resistance, auto-lubrication) or optoelectronics (actuators). They are widely used for many reasons: they lower considerably matter costs, keeping most of bulk materials properties in the meantime, and they are interesting alternatives for miniaturization. It has recently been discovered that when the thickness become extremely weak, new properties may appear, such as change in the crystallization network, supermodulus, superconductivity or even giant, tunnelling or anisotropic magnetoresistance (GMR, TMR and AMR). Such properties appear as opportunities for new applications areas, for example in microelectronics manufacturing. More efficient and high-speed magnetic reading and storing devices have been realized since the advent of "Spintronics" (A. Fert, 1988). This research work aims to prepare these new nanomaterials by means of electrochemical method (electrodeposition in aqueous media) and to study their magnetic and mechanical properties. They were successfully elaborated with the single bath technique (SBT). It is an original electrochemical method related to the behaviour of chromium: an aqueous solution containing high concentration of trivalent chromium (non precious metal) and moderated concentration of cobalt sulphate (precious metal) has made it possible to obtain these original lamellar materials while varying the cathodic potential in a significant manner in the potentiostatic mode. This method also permitted to realize Cr-Co alloys presenting a new structure. Regarding to increasing safety and sustainable development policy, this user- and environment-friendly (toxic hexavalent chromium is substituted by trivalent chromium), low-cost process should be an advantageous alternative to constraining preparation methods (CVD, sputtering or evaporation for multilayers, metallurgical casts for alloys) currently used

De par leurs propriétés mécaniques et anti-corrosion élevées, les revêtements métalliques de chrome sont utilisés dans de nombreux domaines tels que l’aéronautique, l’automobile, le ferroviaire, la défense,… Aujourd’hui le chromage dur industriel, réalisé à partir de chrome hexavalent, est fortement menacé par la directive européenne REACH qui prévoit l’interdiction d’utilisation de sels de chrome VI (classé CMR) à l’horizon 2017. Dans ce contexte le projet HCTC (Hard Chromium by Trivalent Chromium) regroupe 16 partenaires industriels et 2 partenaires académiques sous la coordination de l’Institut de Recherche Technologique Matériaux, Métallurgie, Procédés (IRT M2P) afin de développer une alternative à base de sel de chrome trivalent. Le développement d’un procédé de substitution à partir de sels de chrome trivalent nécessite de répondre aux interrogations liées notamment à la difficulté de réduire les ions Cr3+ formant en solution aqueuse un complexe hexa-aqua [Cr(H2O)6]3+ très stable et difficilement réductible. Afin de faciliter la réduction, l’ensemble des travaux recensés dans la littérature prône l’utilisation d’un agent complexant organique afin d’augmenter l’accessibilité du chrome. Une première partie de ce travail de thèse a été de caractériser les dépôts de chrome métallique réalisés à partir de la formulation de chrome III (EXDBA 1318) afin de mettre en évidence l’influence des paramètres de chromage (température du bain de traitement, densité de courant,…) sur les propriétés physico-chimiques des dépôts (Morphologie, cristallinité, composition chimique). Les résultats ont montré que la diminution de fissures tranversantes est généralement accompagnée d’une augmentation du taux de carbure de chrome qui dégrade l’état cristallin. La compréhension et l’optimisation du procédé a permis la réalisation de dépôts avec des propriétés physico-chimiques permettant de lancer les premiers essaies industriels dont les premiers retours sont très encourageants pour certaines applications (essentiellement automobile).Dans une deuxième partie plus fondamentale, des analyses par HPLC-ICP/AES ont mis en évidence la complexation du chrome par différents agents complexant. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que la complexation étaient d’autant plus importante que le pH est haut (pH=5) et le rapport molaire [Cr]/[Cplx] faible (1/10). Les mécanismes de réduction associés aux taux de complexation ont ensuite été déterminés par des mesures de voltammétrie cyclique en utilisant des électrodes sérigraphiées modifiées par de l’or. Les voltammogrammes obtenus montrent que la complexation du chrome par un agent complexant permet de passer d’un mécanisme de réduction en deux étape (Cr3+  Cr2+  Cr) en une seule (Cr3+  Cr).Une dernière partie du travail a été de définir l’influence de la chimie sur bain (pH et rapport molaire [Cr]/[Cplx]) sur les propriétés physico-chimiques des dépôts. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que pour des solutions faiblement complexées il est préférable de travailler à des pH bas et d’appliquer de faibles densités de courant (&lt;15A/dm²) tandis qu’une augmentation du taux de complexation du chrome par l’agent complexant nécessite d’appliquer des densités de courant plus fortes. Ce travail a aussi permis de montrer l’existence d’une zone de pH optimale pour un rapport molaire [Cr]/[Cplx] donnée. L’existence de cette zone de pH révèle l’existence d’un domaine d’équilibre en solution, favorable à la réduction du chrome. L’ensemble de ces travaux plus fondamentaux ont permis d’améliorer les connaissances sur le procédé de chromage à partir d’un sel de chrome trivalent et ainsi de réfléchir à une nouvelle formulation pour des applications plus critiques où la solution actuelle a pu montrer quelques limites<br>Due to their high mechanical and anti-corrosion properties, chromium metal coatings are used in many fields such as aeronautics, automotive, railway, defense, etc. Today industrial hard chromium coating, made from of hexavalent chromium, is strongly threatened by the European REACH Directive, which provides for the prohibition of the use of chromium VI salts (classified as CMR) by 2017. In this context, the HCTC project (Hard Chromium by Trivalent Chromium) groups together 16 industrial partners and 2 academic partners under the coordination of the Institute for Materials, Metallurgy and Process Technology Research (IRT M2P) to develop an alternative based on trivalent chromium salt. The development of a substitution process from trivalent chromium salts requires answering the questions related in particular to the difficulty of reducing the Cr3+ ions forming in aqueous solution a very stable hexa-aqua [Cr(H2O)6]3+ complex and hardly reducible. In order to facilitate the reduction, all the works listed in the literature advocate the use of an organic complexing agent in order to increase the accessibility of chromium.A first part of this thesis work was to characterize the chromium metal deposits made from the chromium III formulation (EXDBA 1318) in order to highlight the influence of chromium parameters (bath temperature, density of current, ...) on physico-chemicals properties of the deposits (Morphology, crystallinity, chemical composition). The results showed that the decrease of transverse cracks is generally accompanied by an increase in chromium carbide which degrades the crystalline state. The understanding and the optimization of the process allowed the realization of deposits with physico-chemical properties allowing to launch the first industrial tests whose first returns are very encouraging for certain applications (mainly automobile).In a second, more fundamental part, HPLC-ICP / AES analyzes have demonstrated the complexation of chromium by different complexing agents. The results obtained showed that the complexation was all the more important that the pH is high (pH = 5) and the molar ratio [Cr] / [Cplx] low (1/10). Reduction mechanisms associated with complexation rates were then determined by cyclic voltammetry measurements using gold-modified screen-printed electrodes. The voltammograms obtained show that the complexation of chromium by a complexing agent makes it possible to go from a reduction mechanism in two steps (Cr3+  Cr2+  Cr) to a single one (Cr3+  Cr).A final part of the work was to define the influence of bath chemistry (pH and [Cr]/[Cplx] molar ratio) on the physico-chemical properties of coatings. The results obtained showed that for weakly complexed solutions it is preferable to work at low pH and to apply low current densities (&lt;15A / dm²) while an increase in the chromium complexation rate by the complexing agent requires the application of higher current densities. This work also showed the existence of an optimal pH zone for a given [Cr]/[Cplx] molar ratio. The existence of this zone of pH reveals the existence of a balance domain in solution, favorable to the reduction of chromium. All of these more fundamental works have made it possible to improve the knowledge on the chromium plating process from a trivalent chromium salt and thus to think about a new formulation for more critical applications where the current solution has been able to show some limits

Abstract:
Ce travail de thèse s’inscrit dans un projet de grande envergure piloté par l’IRT M2P, intitulé « Hard Chrome by Trivalent Chromium » qui regroupe 15 partenaires industriels et 2 partenaires académiques. L’objectif principal est de substituer les composés du chrome hexavalent par des électrolytes à base de chrome trivalent dans les procédés de chromage « dur », en réponse à l’application du règlement européen REACH en septembre 2017, même si des demandes d’autorisations temporaires sont en cours. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, des études électrochimiques ont été réalisées sur des bains commercial et synthétique. Celles-ci ont conduit au choix d’un matériau jouant le rôle d’anode, à une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes mis en jeu et de ce fait à une optimisation des conditions d’utilisation du bain commercial. D’autre part, une étude approfondie des courbes transitoires permet de mieux appréhender le comportement des électrolytes de chrome trivalent vis-à-vis des courants pulsés. Ainsi, un plan d’expérience sur les paramètres des pulses avec pour sortie de multiples caractérisations des dépôts de chrome montre que les courants pulsés influent sur plusieurs propriétés telles que : la teneur en carbone, la structure cristalline, la microdureté, la morphologie de surface et la microfissuration. Grâce au traitement des données issues du plan d’expériences, l’optimisation des paramètres de polarisation aboutit à l’élaboration de séquences de pulses optimisées. L’utilisation de celles-ci, employées seules ou en combinaison avec d’autres séquences de pulses issues également du plan d’expériences, aboutit à l’obtention de dépôts de chrome trivalent dont les propriétés sont modulables en fonction des paramètres procédés. Dans l’optique de la mise en place d’une nouvelle stratégie de choix des paramètres de l’impulsion anodique, un dispositif permettant la mesure du pH local en fonction des séquences et à proximité immédiate de la surface a été élaboré. Les premières tendances confirment les modes d’action des courants pulsés, et les choix qui ont été faits pour l’optimisation<br>This thesis work is part of an ambitious project handled by IRT M2P, named “Hard Chrome by Trivalent Chromium” which gathers 15 industrials partners but also 2 academic partners. The main objective is to substitute the hexavalent chromium compounds in hard chromium electroplating process before there ban by European instances (REACH, ECHA) in September 2017, excepted for those authorized. As part of this thesis, electrochemical studies were realized on commercial and synthetic baths. Thanks to this studies, a material has been chosen to act as an anode for the making of the trivalent chromium coatings ; furthermore, the utilization conditions of the commercial bath has been optimized. Moreover, another study based on transient curves allows a better comprehension of the behaviour of the trivalent chromium electrolytes regarding pulsed current. This work permitted the elaboration of pulse sequences in the form of an experimental design. The realization and characterization of trivalent chromium coatings as a part of the experimental design show that pulsed current have an effect on several properties of the coatings such as carbon content, crystalline structure, microhardness, surface morphologies an microcracking. Thanks to the analyses of the results from the experimental design, an optimization of pulsed current has been made to obtain optimized pulse sequences. The utilization of those pulse sequences, used alone or combine with some pulse sequences of the experimental design lead to the elaboration of trivalent chromium coatings which properties are adjustables depending on the set parameters of the process. To further optimize the properties of the coatings, the basis of an analysis tool based on local pH measurements are developed; this analysis tool must make it possible to select the most interesting pulse sequences for the realization of trivalent chromium coatings

Ce travail traite des possibilites de recuperation de l'acide chromique a partir des effluents de traitement de surface. L'utilisation de l'ether couronne dc18-6 dans un procede d'extraction liquide-liquide ou membrane liquide semble interessante. L'extraction de l'acide chromique par le cd18-6 en presence et en absence d'acide sulfurique a montre que l'espece extraite predominante dans la phase organique est (h#3o#+l)hcr#2o#7#.

Par contre, le topo extrait fortement l'acide chromique, mais aussi l'acide sulfurique du fait de sa forte basicite; il ne permet donc pas la concentration de l'acide chromique.

Abstract:
Les matériaux utilisés industriellement sont de plus en plus sollicités dans des conditions extrêmes, exigeant résistance à l’usure et à la corrosion. A ces performances techniques s’ajoutent désormais des contraintes environnementales de plus en plus fortes nécessitant la recherche de traitements de surface alternatifs. L’objet de cette thèse est de remplacer le chromage dur électrolytique par des traitements par voie sèche, en garantissant performances techniques et environnementales par analyse du cycle de vie des dépôts. Afin de corriger certains défauts des dépôts obtenus par projection thermique, et de se rapprocher des qualités des dépôts obtenus par rechargement laser, procédé performant mais beaucoup plus lent, un procédé hybride innovant de refusion laser in situ a été utilisé. La refusion de dépôts NiCrBSi - matériau sélectionné pour ses bonnes performances environnementales - a mis en évidence une répartition homogène de carbures et de borures dans une structure plus dense, sans porosité, entraînant une amélioration des propriétés mécaniques. Le traitement hybride permet d’architecturer différemment les dépôts en remplaçant la microstructure lamellaire par une microstructure dendritique, multiphasique, plus adaptée aux sollicitations mécaniques et chimiques. Les modes de dégradation tribologique, comme les mécanismes de corrosion, diffèrent. Le dépôt d’alliage NiCrBSi par refusion laser in situ, au bilan environnemental acceptable, appliqué avec une densité d’énergie laser suffisante, pourrait être une solution de choix au remplacement des dépôts électrolytiques de chrome dur<br>Materials used industrially are more and more applied under extreme conditions, implementing wear and/or corrosion resistance. In addition, environmental regulations are nowadays effective. Thus, it seems necessary to find surface coatings with justified environmental behaviour, implementing life cycle assessment of the processes. This Ph. D. Thesis aims to replace electrolytic hard chromium plating by dry coatings. In order to improve some well-known drawbacks of thermal spraying, laser remelting was combined to thermal spraying. Remelting of NiCrBSi deposit, which was selected for its good environmental behaviour, shows a homogeneous carbides and borides distribution in the coating layer and an improvement of the mechanical properties compared to the as-sprayed sample. The hybrid process changes structure from lamellar to dendritic and produces denser coatings with finer structures, without porosity, which improves chemical and mechanical properties. Results are closely linked to laser cladding, except that there are obtained with a very high process velocity. Whereas hard chromium plating is affected by its characteristic microcrack structure, and APS by surface fatigue, laser coatings show an adhesive wear mechanism corresponding to a wear by oxidation in case of laser remelting. If the corrosion kinetics are comparable according to the selected process, mechanisms change. In case of as-sprayed sample, porosity lets the electrolyte reach the substrate, while the in situ remelted sample substrate is not reached. Concerning hard chromium replacement, laser in situ remelted NiCrBSi could be a good solution

Abstract:
Le chromage électrolytique est un revêtement de surface, qui lorsqu'il est élaboré en courant continu, présente une fissuration qui nuit à son pouvoir protecteur contre la corrosion. Pour pallier cet inconvénient, il est nécessaire de réaliser des dépôts de forte épaisseur ou d'utiliser des sous-couches de nickel. Afin d'améliorer les performances anti-corrosion de ces dépôts, tout en leur conservant leurs autres qualités. Plusieurs études de laboratoire sur l'utilisation de courant d'électrolyse avec des inversions de courant, ont montré qu'il était possible de réaliser des dépôts non fissurés. Les résultats obtenus ont montré, l'influence très importante des inversions de courant sur : la morphologie et la structure des dépôts, les contraintes résiduelles et l'état de surface. Il en résulte que l'électrolyse en courant périodiquement inversé conduit à des revêtements de chrome dur dont les propriétés sont favorablement modifiées : mouillabilité, tenue au frottement, résistance à la corrosion. Ces améliorations ont été interprétées de la façon suivante : - l'affinement de la cristallisation conduit à l'obtention de couches dotées d'une énergie superficielle plus forte, favorisant le pouvoir mouillant du dépôt vis à vis de l'huile et de solutions aqueuses. - la non fissuration des revêtements est favorable à l'amélioration de la tenue à la corrosion. Cependant les gammes d'usinage antérieures à l'opération de traitement peuvent affecter cette résistance, en favorisant l'incrustation de particules dans la surface, celle-ci ne pouvant être éliminées par les préparations de surface classiques.

Abstract:
AbstractEmotion recognition (ER) from speech signals is a robust approach since it cannot be imitated like facial expression or text based sentiment analysis. Valuable information underlying the emotions are significant for human-computer interactions enabling intelligent machines to interact with sensitivity in the real world. Previous ER studies through speech signal processing have focused exclusively on associations between different signal mode decomposition methods and hidden informative features. However, improper decomposition parameter selections lead to informative signal component losses due to mode duplicating and mixing. In contrast, the current study proposes VGG-optiVMD, an empowered variational mode decomposition algorithm, to distinguish meaningful speech features and automatically select the number of decomposed modes and optimum balancing parameter for the data fidelity constraint by assessing their effects on the VGG16 flattening output layer. Various feature vectors were employed to train the VGG16 network on different databases and assess VGG-optiVMD reproducibility and reliability. One, two, and three-dimensional feature vectors were constructed by concatenating Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, Chromagram, Mel spectrograms, Tonnetz diagrams, and spectral centroids. Results confirmed a synergistic relationship between the fine-tuning of the signal sample rate and decomposition parameters with classification accuracy, achieving state-of-the-art 96.09% accuracy in predicting seven emotions on the Berlin EMO-DB database.

Abstract:
Introduction: Candidiasis is the most common oral fungal infection in humans affecting mainly people who are debilitated or immunocompromised patients, such as those irradiated for head and neck cancer. Pourpose: Identifing Candida species in head and neck irradiated patients and in those with total removable dental prosthesis by three microbiological methods. Material and Methods: Samples were collected with disposable sterile swabs of twenty-seven patients through exfoliative cytology. The Sabouraud media containing the inoculum were left in an aerobic environment at 36oC during 24 hours. Thus, yeasts were taken to the Laboratory of Taxonomy, Biodiversity and Biotechnology of Fungi to have the respective test for Candida identification with Candifast®, CHROMagar® and PCR EI1®. Results: The pseudomembranous clinical candidosis was more prevalent in Group 1, while the denture stomatitis was the most frequent clinical form in Group 2. There were differences in identification when comparing the three methods. On the other hand, PCR was faster and more effective when compared with CHROMagar, followed by Candifast®. PCR (EI1 and NLI/NL4) identified in Group 1 as C. albicans (37.1%), C. tropicalis (55%), (7.4%) C. krusei. In Group 2 PCR allowed the identification of 68% C. albicans, 20% as C. tropicalis, 8% as C. glabrata and 4% C. parapsilosis. Conclusion: The Candifast® Kit was found to be defective in the identification of several species of Candida, as compared to the molecular identification method used (PCR EI1 and PCR NL1 / NL4). CHROMagar® Candida medium was a good method for the presumptive identification of Candida species.

Abstract:
Objetivo: Enterobacterales resistentes aos carbapenêmicos (CR) são uma ameaça urgente à saúde pública e necessitam de rápida detecção. O Blue Carba (BC) é um teste para a detecção em ≤ 2 horas de carpabenemases baseado na mudança de pH/coloração diante da hidrólise in vitro do imipenem (IMP). O meio de cultura pode interferir no BC e pouco se sabe sobre o uso do ágar Chromagar (CRO), meio comum em microbiologia clínica. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é testar e validar o BC utilizando isolados de Enterobacterales em CRO de amostras de um hospital universitário. Método: Selecionamos amostras de tecidos, secreções, urina e líquidos cavitários semeadas em CRO, com crescimento de bacilo Gram negativo. Uma alçada de 1 ul desses isolados foi inoculada em dois poços de microplaca, um contendo 100 ul de solução BC (0,04% azul de bromotimol, 0,1 mM ZnSO4, pH 7,0 ± 0,05) para controle negativo (CN) e o segundo, 100 ul de solução BC acrescida de IMP + cilastatina (6 mg/l). A leitura foi realizada em até 2 horas, considerando positivos os poços amarelos (CN = azul/verde) ou verdes (CN = azul). A identificação microbiana e a sensibilidade aos antibióticos foram realizadas no sistema Vitek2®; foram considerados CR aqueles que apresentaram resistência ao meropenem e/ou IMP. Conclusão: Foram testadas 66 amostras, entre elas, C. freundi (n = 1), E. cloacae (n = 3), E. coli (n = 15), K. pneumoniae (n = 33), M. morganii (n = 1), P. mirabilis (n = 1), P. stuartii (n = 1), P. penneri (n = 2), P. rettgeri (n = 1) e S. marcescens (n = 8). Destas, 30/31 de isolados CR foram positivos no BC e 33/35 negativos, levando a sensibilidade e a especificidade de 97% e 94%, respectivamente. Os testes seguem em execução, mas, até agora, os resultados encontrados foram satisfatórios e seguem em acordo com estudos que utilizam outros meios de cultura. Dessa forma, conclui-se que o BC a partir de CRO é um bom teste para detectar com rapidez os isolados de Enterobacterales produtores de carbapenemase.

Objetivo: A síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (Aids), causada pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), corresponde a uma doença crônica infecciosa, transmitida pelas vias sexual, parenteral ou vertical. Após a infecção das células no local de entrada, o vírus inicia o seu ciclo replicativo e o processo contínuo de supressão do sistema imunológico, tornando os indivíduos infectados suscetíveis a infecções oportunistas ou malignidades. Dentre as principais infecções oportunistas, destaca-se a candidíase oral, importante preditor para o monitoramento de progressão da Aids. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os aspectos epidemiológicos, sociodemográficos, comportamentais e laboratoriais de pacientes vivendo com HIV/ Aids. Método: Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo experimental e de levantamento de dados como pesquisa de campo. Foram avaliados 27 pacientes portadores de HIV/Aids no ano de 2020, os quais foram atendidos no Serviço de Assistência Especializada e no Centro de Triagem e Aconselhamento de Francisco Beltrão, Paraná. Realizaram-se uma entrevista e uma consulta odontológica, durante a qual se coletou a amostra de saliva dos pacientes participantes. No laboratório de Biotecnologia de Microrganismos da Unipar, realizaram-se o isolamento e a identificação presuntiva das leveduras em meio de cultura seletivo diferencial CHROMagar™, sendo incubadas a 35ºC por 48 horas. Conclusão: Dentre os 27 pacientes avaliados, 55,6% (15) eram do sexo feminino; a idade média foi de 41,5 anos; a maioria era casada, com renda de um a dois salários mínimos e com Ensino Fundamental completo. Houve prevalência da infecção pelo HIV entre indivíduos brancos e heterossexuais. Quanto às leveduras isoladas, a espécie mais frequente foi Candida albicans, seguida de Candida parapsilosis. Conclui-se que a população foi predominantemente composta por mulheres, indivíduos brancos e heterossexuais. Ainda, o microrganismo mais isolado na cavidade oral foi Candida albicans.
