Prevalence and genetic characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cell phones of medical students from Iran
Acta Microbiol Immunol Hung. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1556/030.2024.02193. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough mobile phones as a rapid communication vehicle can lead to improved quality of healthcare, they can also facilitate the transmission of pathogens to patients. This current research focuses on genetic diversity, and genes involved in resistance and biofilm production of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from mobile phones of medical students. Antibiotic resistance profiling and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of antibiotic resistance and biofilm-related genes were investigated and statistically analyzed. ...

Indwelling pleural catheter infection and colonisation: a clinical practice review
J Thorac Dis. 2024 Mar 29;16(3):2196-2204. doi: 10.21037/jtd-23-1761. Epub 2024 Mar 27.ABSTRACTIndwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are used in the management of malignant pleural effusions, but they can become infected in 5.7% of cases. This review aims to provide a summary of the development of IPC infections and their microbiology, diagnosis and management. IPC infections can be deep, involving the pleural space, or superficial. The former are of greater clinical concern. Deep infection is associated with biofilm formation on the IPC surface and require longer courses of antibiotic treatment. Mortality from infections is...

Role of Povidone-Iodine in Reducing Surgical Site Infection
AbstractPurpose of ReviewSurgical site infections (SSIs) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Given the role of endogenous carriage ofStaphylococcus aureus, current patient decolonization strategies revolve around the application of topical antiseptic agents prior to and at the time of surgery.Recent FindingsIntranasal single-application povidone-iodine (PVP-I) on the day of surgery is an emerging, attractive alternative to the established approach of a 5-day course of intranasal mupirocin for preoperative decolonization.SummaryPVP-I appears more convenient and cost-effective for both patients and healt...

Targeting FTO induces colorectal cancer ferroptotic cell death by decreasing SLC7A11/GPX4 expression
J Exp Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Apr 10;43(1):108. doi: 10.1186/s13046-024-03032-9.ABSTRACTFerroptosis is a newly identified iron-dependent form of death that is becoming increasingly recognized as a promising avenue for cancer therapy. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant reversible methylation modification in mRNA contributing to tumorigenesis. However, the crucial role of m6A modification in regulating ferroptosis during colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis remains elusive. Herein, we find that m6A modification is increased during ferroptotic cell death and correlates with the decreased m6A demethylase fat mass and...

Antiseptics in otorhinolaryngology-a substance overview
HNO. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1007/s00106-024-01456-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor preoperative skin antisepsis, alcohol-containing iodine solutions and octenidine are suitable. For wound antisepsis, polyhexanide and hypochlorous acid (HOCL) are also available, but only PVP-iodine and HOCL can be applied to cartilage. Chlorhexidine should only be used as mouth- and bodywash for Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) decolonization. For the many other throat antiseptics, evidence of clinical efficacy is lacking. For decolonization of the nares, polyhexanide and octenidine are available as nasal gels, but these are inferior to mupiro...
