Divergent Pathogenesis and Transmission of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) in Swine
Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Mar 13;30(4). doi: 10.3201/eid3004.231141. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHighly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses have potential to cross species barriers and cause pandemics. Since 2022, HPAI A(H5N1) belonging to the goose/Guangdong 2.3.4.4b hemagglutinin phylogenetic clade have infected poultry, wild birds, and mammals across North America. Continued circulation in birds and infection of multiple mammalian species with strains possessing adaptation mutations increase the risk for infection and subsequent reassortment with influenza A viruses endemic in swine. We assessed the susceptibility ...

Potential Sexual Transmission of Antifungal-Resistant Trichophyton indotineae
We describe a case of tinea genitalis in an immunocompetent woman in Pennsylvania, USA. Infection was caused by Trichophyton indotineae potentially acquired through sexual contact. The fungus was resistant to terbinafine (first-line antifungal) but improved with itraconazole. Clinicians should be aware of T. indotineae as a potential cause of antifungal-resistant genital lesions.PMID:38437706 | DOI:10.3201/eid3004.240115 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)

Chlamydia pneumoniae Upsurge at a Tertiary Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland
Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Feb 27;30(4). doi: 10.3201/eid3004.231610. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChlamydia pneumoniae infection cases have usually accounted for <1.5% of community-acquired respiratory tract infections. Currently, Lausanne, Switzerland is experiencing a notable upsurge in cases, with 28 reported within a span of a few months. This upsurge in cases highlights the need for heightened awareness among clinicians.PMID:38413241 | DOI:10.3201/eid3004.231610 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)

Clostridium butyricum Bacteremia Associated with Probiotic Use, Japan
Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Feb 27;30(4). doi: 10.3201/eid3004.231633. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClostridium butyricum, a probiotic commonly prescribed in Asia, most notably as MIYA-BM (Miyarisan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.; https://www.miyarisan.com), occasionally leads to bacteremia. The prevalence and characteristics of C. butyricum bacteremia and its bacteriologic and genetic underpinnings remain unknown. We retrospectively investigated patients admitted to Osaka University Hospital during September 2011-February 2023. Whole-genome sequencing revealed 5 (0.08%) cases of C. butyricum bacteremia among 6,576 case-patients who...

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Viruses from Multispecies Outbreak, Argentina, August 2023
We report full-genome characterization of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b virus from an outbreak among sea lions (August 2023) in Argentina and possible spillover to fur seals and terns. Mammalian adaptation mutations in virus isolated from marine mammals and a human in Chile were detected in mammalian and avian hosts.PMID:38413243 | DOI:10.3201/eid3004.231725 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)
