< em > Listeria monocytogenes: < /em > the silent assassin
J Med Microbiol. 2024 Mar;73(3). doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.001800.ABSTRACTListeriosis is a foodborne infection in humans caused by Listeria monocytogenes. Consumption of contaminated food can lead to severe infection in vulnerable patients, that can be fatal. Clinical manifestations include sepsis and meningitis, and in pregnancy-associated infection, miscarriage and stillbirth. Diagnosis is confirmed by culture and identification of the pathogen from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, vaginal swab, placenta or amniotic fluid. Treatment regimens recommend amoxicillin, ampicillin or an aminoglycoside. Virulence factors mediate bacterial ...

Delays to treatment initiation and emergence of drug resistance among new adult tuberculosis patients in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia
Conclusion. Time to treatment initiation delay is associated with an increased risk of the emergence of drug resistance. Efforts targeted towards reducing the negative effects of PTB should focus on reducing the length of delay to initiate treatment.PMID:38506623 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001814 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Performance of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in cerebrospinal fluid for diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis
Conclusions. Our study indicates that mNGS of CSF exhibited an overall improved sensitivity over conventional diagnostic methods for TBM and can be considered a front-line CSF test.PMID:38506717 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001818 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Conclusion. To our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate 2,4- DBP has anti-pathogenic potential alone and with antibiotics by in vitro, and in silico studies against A. baumannii.
