Outcomes of Adjunctive Therapy with Open Arthrotomy for Patients with Septic Arthritis Due to Melioidosis: A Retrospective Study
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2024 Apr 30:tpmd230812. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0812. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMelioidosis is a potentially fatal infection caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Septic arthritis caused by this infection is uncommon and difficult to treat. The role of adjunctive open arthrotomy in this type of infection has not yet been elucidated. We conducted a retrospective study of patients with microbiologically confirmed melioidosis between January 2002 and December 2022. Patients with a clinical condition of septic arthritis and positive cultures for B. pseudomallei were included. Comparisons were ...

Characterization of tongue coating microbiome from patients with colorectal cancer
CONCLUSION: These results elucidate the use of tongue coating microbiome in CRC patients firstly, and the fur-types observed contribute to a better understanding of the microbial community in human. Furthermore, the tongue coating microbiota-based biomarkers provide a valuable reference for CRC prediction and diagnosis.PMID:38686186 | PMC:PMC11057396 | DOI:10.1080/20002297.2024.2344278 (Source: Journal of Oral Microbiology)

Relevance of extracellular electron uptake mechanisms for electromethanogenesis applications
Biotechnol Adv. 2024 Apr 27:108369. doi: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2024.108369. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTElectromethanogenesis has emerged as a biological branch of Power-to-X technologies that implements methanogenic microorganisms, as an alternative to chemical Power-to-X, to convert electrical power from renewable sources, and CO2 into methane. Unlike biomethanation processes where CO2 is converted via exogenously added hydrogen, electromethanogenesis occurs in a bioelectrochemical set-up that combines electrodes and microorganisms. Thereby, mixed, or pure methanogenic cultures catalyze the reduction of CO2 to methane v...

Utilizing novel Escherichia coli ‐specific conserved signature proteins for enhanced monitoring of recreational water quality
This paper explores the application of a novel DNA sequence type, specifically conserved signature genes encoding conserved signature proteins (CSPs), for bacterial identification. Although our focus is on the identification ofEscherichia coli, the same principle can be extended to identify other taxa using their respective CSPs. AbstractEscherichia coli serves as a proxy indicator of fecal contamination in aquatic ecosystems. However, its identification using traditional culturing methods can take up to 24 h. The application of DNA markers, such as conserved signature proteins (CSPs) genes (unique to all species/strains...

Cholera and diarrheal diseases in Cuamba District, Niassa Province, Mozambique: Systematic healthcare facility-based surveillance strengthening, characteristics of suspected cholera and diarrheal patients, and incidence of diarrheal diseases
Conclusion/SignificanceEfforts were made to strengthen the systematic surveillance of suspected cholera with standardised patient screening, enrolment, and diagnostics. The first basic microbiology laboratory in Niassa Province established in Cuamba District under the MOCA project needs to be integrated into the national network of laboratories for sustainability. No reports of laboratory confirmed cholera cases from the surveillance catchment area may be highly related to the pre-emptive oral cholera vaccine (OCV) mass vaccination campaign conducted in 2018 and the use of drugs by local populations prior to visiting the s...
