Comparative evaluation of MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA gene sequencing for the identification of clinically relevant anaerobic bacteria. Critical evaluation of discrepant results
CONCLUSIONS: MALDI-TOF is a reliable technique for identifying most anaerobic bacteria, although the database needs frequent updating to identify rare, infrequent, and newly discovered species.PMID:37321445 | DOI:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102754 (Source: Anaerobe)

Prosthetic joint infection caused by an atypical gram-negative bacilli: Odoribactersplanchnicus
We present an 82 years-old woman who was diagnosed with hip PJI. A radical debridement, prosthetic withdrawal, and spacer introduction was performed. Despite the directed antibiotic therapy against E. coli which was first isolated, the patient persisted clinically febrile. An anaerobic Gram-negative rod was isolated and finally, Odoribacter splanchnicus was identified and confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Then, antibiotic bitherapy with ciprofloxacin and metronidazole was started until 6 weeks after surgery. The patient had no signs of infection recurrence after then. This case report also shows the importance of geno...

Clostridium perfringens epsilon-toxin requires acid sphingomyelinase for cellular entry
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the present results, ASMase is required for efficient internalization of epsilon-toxin.PMID:37308057 | DOI:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102753 (Source: Anaerobe)
