Advantages and Limitations of Direct PCR Amplification of Bacterial 16S‐rDNA from Resected Heart Tissue or Swabs Followed by Direct Sequencing for Diagnosing Infective Endocarditis: A Retrospective Analysis in the Routine Clinical Setting

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life‐threatening disease that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Its long‐term prognosis strongly depends on a timely and optimized antibiotic treatment. Therefore, identification of the causative pathogen is crucial and currently based on blood cultures followed by characterization and susceptibility ...

MALDI-TOF-MS Fingerprinting Provides Evidence of Urosepsis caused by Aerococcus urinae [PDF]

, 2017
Urosepsis due to Aerococcus urinae is rare in clinical settings with only a few of reported cases worldwide by 16S rRNA sequencing. Here we report a case of sepsis caused by A.

Characterizing Plasmids in Bacteria Species Relevant to Urinary Health

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
The urinary tract has a microbial community (the urinary microbiota or urobiota) that has been associated with human health. Whole genome sequencing of bacteria is a powerful tool, allowing investigation of the genomic content of the urobiota, also ...

Prophylactic Effects of Astragalus Polysaccharides on Depression‐Like Behaviors in Rats With Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress: A Role of Gut‐Microbiota–Brain Axis

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1343-1361, May 2025.
This study complements the pathogenesis of depression, and the effects of APS from the perspective of “gut microbiome ‐ immunity ‐ metabolome” axis. This study also provides a novel research strategy and approaches for demonstrating the anti‐depression effects of plant polysaccharides, and lays a solid foundation for discovering new medicines from ...

Using the Sysmex UF‐4000 urine flow cytometer for rapid diagnosis of urinary tract infection in the clinical microbiological laboratory

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 38, Issue 5, March 2024.
Urinary tract infections are common and responsible for a significant worldwide disease burden. Diagnosing uropathogens by urine culture is time consuming and labor intensive. Urine flow cytometry might provide a quick and reliable method to screen for urinary tract infection.

Aerococcus viridans Native Valve Endocarditis

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 155-158, 2013., 2013
Aerococcus viridans is an infrequent human pathogen and few cases of infective endocarditis have been reported. A case involving a 69‐year‐old man with colon cancer and hemicolectomy 14 years previously, without recurrence, is reported. A diagnosis of native mitral valve endocarditis was established on the basis of clinical presentation, characteristic

Driveline infections in left ventricular assist devices—Incidence, epidemiology, and staging proposal

Artificial Organs, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 83-90, January 2024.
In this single‐center study with 245 patients with left ventricular assist devices, driveline infections (DLI) were classified by their local appearance using a modification of a score suggested by the Sharp Memorial group. The proportion of patients with DLI increased significantly during the follow‐up (p = 0.0096).

Occult Bacteraemia and Aortic Graft Infection: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

Case Reports in Vascular Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We report a case of late‐onset aortic prosthetic vascular graft infection. We stress the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for any patient presenting with fever on the background of in situ prosthetic material. We present the difficulties in managing these extremely complicated, often life and limb threatening infections and suggest ...

Identification of two abundant Aerococcus urinae cell wall-anchored proteins [PDF]

, 2019
Aerococcus urinae is an emerging pathogen that causes urinary tract infections, bacteremia and infective endocarditis. The mechanisms through which A. urinae cause infection are largely unknown.

Atypical Presentation of Aerococcus urinae–Induced Infective Endocarditis

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Aerococcus urinae, although primarily associated with urinary tract infections, is an infrequent cause of infective endocarditis (IE). We report the case of a 55-year-old man with worsening dyspnea and chest pain, ultimately diagnosed with A urinae ...
