Beyond proteostasis: Roles of type I chaperonins in bacterial pathogenesis.
This article provides a thorough reviews of our current understanding of the different mechanisms involving type I chaperonins during bacteria-host interactions, and suggests new areas to be explored and the potential of finding new targets for fighting bacterial infections.

Presence of Chlamydophila pneumoniae DNA in blood cells is a frequent event in patients with the late stage of primary cutaneous lymphomas and with atopic dermatitis.
Conclusions: The presence of C. pneumoniae DNA in the blood cells is a frequent event in late stages of MF/SS and may be explained by Th2 shift and suppression of the immune system during the course of the disease.

Overview on the management of non-gastric MALT lymphomas
Publication date: March 2018Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology, Volume 31, Issue 1Author(s): Irene Defrancesco, Luca ArcainiAbstractExtranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (EMZLs) of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) are indolent lymphomas which can present at any extranodal site. The most frequent localizations (other than stomach) are ocular adnexa, salivary gland, skin, lung and thyroid. Chronic inflammation and antigenic stimulation are a potential risk for the development of MALT lymphomas. While Helicobacter Pylori (HP) is known to be associated with gastric MALT lymphoma and antibioti...

Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Children.
CONCLUSION: In previously healthy children under the age of 5 years, high dose amoxicillin is the treatment of choice. For those with type 1 hypersensitivity to penicillin, clindamycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, and levofloxacin are reasonable alternatives. For children with a non-type 1 hypersensitivity to penicillin, cephalosporins such as cefixime, cefprozil, cefdinir, cefpodoxime, and cefuroxime should be considered. In previously healthy children over the age of 5 years, macrolides such as azithromycin and clarithromycin are the drugs of choice.

Pathogen Clearance and New Respiratory Tract Infections Among Febrile Children in Zanzibar Investigated With Multitargeting Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction on Paired Nasopharyngeal Swab Samples
Conclusion:
The results suggest that children with acute febrile illness in Zanzibar rapidly clear respiratory tract infections but frequently acquire new infections within 14 days. (Source: The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal)

A Psittacosis Outbreak among English Office Workers with Little or No Contact with Birds, August 2015
Conclusions
This investigation into a probable outbreak provides evidence of transmission of psittacosis in one or more office workers with no direct bird contact. In light of this clinicians and public health professionals should be aware of the possibility of psittacosis in cases of severe respiratory illness reporting no overt bird contact and consider it on their list of differential diagnoses in situations where indirect exposure to birds is possible, but not necessarily obvious.

CONCLUSIONS: Awareness of the low positivity of quantitative sputum bacteriology and the large percentage of resistant strains with a predominance of exclusively multi-resistant Pseudomonas should help in the management of patients with AECOPD.

Molecular detection of Chlamydophila abortus , Coxiella burnetii , and Mycoplasma agalactiae in small ruminants ’ aborted fetuses in southern Iran
AbstractAbortion in sheep and goats has become increasingly important worldwide because of the significant economic losses and potential zoonotic implication of commonly involved pathogens. Therefore, this cross-sectional study was conducted in southern Iran to detect theChlamydophila abortus andCoxiella burnetii, as zoonotic pathogens, andMycoplasma agalactiae, as a neglected abortifacient agent in small ruminants ’ aborted fetuses, by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). From a total of 300 aborted fetuses (183 sheep and 117 goats), 46 samples (15.5%) were positive by PCR, 11% forC. abortus, 2% forC. burnetii, and 3%...
