Organ distribution and early pathogenesis of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus in swine
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Nov 18;104:102095. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102095. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStreptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus is an emerging pathogen of pigs, resulting in high-mortality outbreaks of septicaemia and abortions. Here, we investigated the early pathogenesis of S. zooepidemicus in pigs following oronasal inoculation. Fourteen pigs were inoculated with live cultures of S. zooepidemicus ST-194, and monitored at 2,4, 8, and 24 h post-inoculation. Necropsies were performed to assess gross lesions and collect samples for bacterial culture and PCR analysis at each time point. Our...

Development of an anti-infective urinary catheter composed of polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate/methylcellulose/polyethylene glycol by using a pressure-assisted 3D-printing technique
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Jul 29:126029. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126029. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCatheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are a common complication associated with catheterization, leading to urosepsis, bacteriuria, and septicaemia. The present work focuses on 3D printing a urinary catheter with anti-infective properties using various concentrations of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, e.g., 6-8 %), sodium alginate (NaAlg, e.g. 1-4 %), methylcellulose (MC, 5 %), polyethylene glycol (PEG, 5 %) impregnated with secnidazole, an antibiotic acting against Gram-negative bacteria. To produce suitable ...

Evaluating the risk of infections under interleukin 23 and interleukin 17 inhibitors relative to tumour necrosis factor inhibitors - A population-based study
CONCLUSION: Compared with TNFi, IL-23i and IL-17i are associated with decreased risk of several infectious diseases. These agents might be preferred in patients with susceptibility to infections.PMID:37466275 | DOI:10.1111/jdv.19328 (Source: Herpes)

< em > Elizabethkingia meningosepticum < /em > infections with varied presentations and different antimicrobial susceptibility - A case series
We report three sporadic infections by Elizabethkingia meningosepticum from Government Medical College Kozhikode in Kerala state, South India over a period of three years. Two cases were commenced in the community in immunocompromised children beyond the newborn period, but both recovered promptly. Another was a hospital-acquired meningitis in a newborn baby who developed neurologic sequelae. In contrast to widespread antimicrobial resistance exhibited by this pathogen, there was good susceptibility to commonly used antimicrobials such as ampicillin, cefotaxime, piperacillin, ciprofloxacin, and vancomycin. Whilst ß lactam...

Structure and gene cluster annotation of the O-antigen of Aeromonas sobria strain K928 isolated from common carp and classified into the new Aeromonas PGO1 serogroup
Carbohydr Res. 2023 Apr 11;528:108809. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.108809. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAeromonas sobria strain K928 was isolated from a common carp during a Motile Aeromonas Infection/Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia disease outbreak on a Polish fish farm and classified into the new provisional PGO1 serogroup. The lipopolysaccharide of A. sobria K928 was subjected to mild acid hydrolysis, and the O-specific polysaccharide, which was isolated by gel-permeation chromatography, was studied using sugar and methylation analyses and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The following structure of the branched O-specific poly...
