Pulmonary co-infections by Pneumocystis jirovecii and Herpesviridae: a seven-year retrospective studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 Số 1
Alan Rucar, Anne Totet, Yohann Le Govic, Baptiste Demey, Céline Damiani
Abstract Background Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii) is an opportunistic
fungus responsible for Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in deeply immunocompromised
patients and for pulmonary colonization in individuals with mild
immunosuppression or impaired respiratory function. PCP and Cytomegalovirus
(CMV) co-infections have been widely described whereas those involving other
Herpesviruses (HVs) such... hiện toàn bộ
Two novel CMY-2-type β-lactamases encountered in clinical Escherichia coli isolatesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-5 - 2015
Vera Manageiro, Eugénia Ferreira, Margarida Pinto, Fernando Fonseca, Mónica Ferreira, Richard Bonnet, Manuela Caniça
Chromosomally encoded AmpC β-lactamases may be acquired by transmissible
plasmids which consequently can disseminate into bacteria lacking or poorly
expressing a chromosomal bla AmpC gene. Nowadays, these plasmid-mediated AmpC
β-lactamases are found in different bacterial species, namely
Enterobacteriaceae, which typically do not express these types of β-lactamase
such as Klebsiella spp. or Escher... hiện toàn bộ
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing as a diagnostic tool for toxoplasmic encephalitisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 1-6 - 2018
Zhiliang Hu, Xing Weng, Chunhua Xu, Yang Lin, Cong Cheng, Hongxia Wei, Wei Chen
More than 100 different pathogens can cause encephalitis. Testing of all the
neurological pathogens by conventional methods can be difficult. Metagenomic
next-generation sequencing (NGS) could identify the infectious agents in a
target-independent manner. The role of this novel method in clinical diagnostic
microbiology still needs to be evaluated. In present study, we used metagenomic
NGS to sear... hiện toàn bộ
The characteristic and potential therapeutic effect of isolated multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii lytic phageSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1-11 - 2022

Widespread misuse of antibiotics caused bacterial resistance increasingly become
a serious threat. Bacteriophage therapy promises alternative treatment
strategies for combatting drug-resistant bacterial infections. In this study, we
isolated and characterized a novel, potent lytic bacteriophage against
multi-drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii and described the lytic
capability and endoly... hiện toàn bộ
Antimicrobial resistance prediction by clinical metagenomics in pediatric severe pneumonia patientsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 Số 1
Mingyu Gan, Yanyan Zhang, Gangfeng Yan, Yixue Wang, Guoping Li, Bingbing Wu, Weiming Chen, Wenhao Zhou
Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to
children’s health, particularly in respiratory infections. Accurate
identification of pathogens and AMR is crucial for targeted antibiotic
treatment. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) shows promise in
directly detecting microorganisms and resistance genes in clinical samples.
However, the accuracy of AMR prediction... hiện toàn bộ
An uncommon presentation for a severe invasive infection due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clone USA300 in Italy: a case reportSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-6 - 2008

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been considered for many
years a typical nosocomial pathogen. Recently MRSA has emerged as a frequent
cause of infections in the community. More commonly, community-acquired
(CA)-MRSA is a cause of infections of the skin and soft-tissues, but
life-threatening infections such as necrotizing pneumonia and sepsis can
occasionally occur. This repo... hiện toàn bộ
The combination of decoy receptor 3 and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 for the diagnosis of nosocomial bacterial meningitisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-7 - 2015

Early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment can significantly reduce
mortality of nosocomial bacterial meningitis. However, it is a challenge for
clinicians to make an accurate and rapid diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. This
study aimed at determining whether combined biomarkers can provide a useful tool
for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. A retrospective study was carried
out. C... hiện toàn bộ
