Detection of Infection Following an Open Tibial Fracture via Synovial Alpha-defensins

Journal of Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction
Fracture-related infections are challenging complications following the fixation of open fractures. Because of commonly used surgical approaches used for intramedullary nailing, the knee joint is also susceptible to infection following fixation, either ...

Alpha-Defensin-1 in Synovial Fluid is Useful for Diagnosis of Joint Infection [PDF]

The distinction between bacterial infectious and noninfectious arthritis is typically challenging in the early stages; however, it is critical for treatment decision making.

Synovial Fluid Alpha-defensin Lateral Flow Assay is Specific but Not Sensitive for Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Revision Arthroplasty: A Propensity Score-matched Analysis

Journal of Orthopedics, Traumatology and Rehabilitation
Background: Synovial fluid alpha-defensin lateral flow assay (ADLFA) is a quick adjunctive test in diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary arthroplasty. However, evidence is lacking for postrevision arthroplasty cases.

The Roles of a Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae High-Risk Clone and Its Resistance Plasmids on the Gastrointestinal Colonization and Host-Defense Effectors in the Gut

Antibiotics
The asymptomatic gastrointestinal colonization of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria can lead to difficult-to-treat infections. We investigated the role of host factors influencing colonization in an orogastrical murine infection model using a CTX-M-15 ...

Airway β-defensin-1 protein Is elevated in COPD and severe asthma

, 2015
Background: Innate immune antimicrobial peptides, including β-defensin-1, promote the chemotaxis and activation of several immune cells. The role of β-defensin-1 in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. Methods: Induced
