Results of an early intervention programme for patients with bacteraemia: analysis of prognostic factors and mortality

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Bacteraemia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to hospital. The aim of this study is to analyse the results of a two-year programme for the early optimisation of antibiotic treatment in patients admitted to the ...

Profound lymphopenia and bacteraemia

Internal Medicine Journal, 2006
AbstractBacteraemia often carries a poor prognosis despite prompt antibiotic therapy and is associated with late morbidity and mortality that is difficult to explain. Here, we describe perisistent B‐ and T‐ cell lymphopenia in a cohort of patients with Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteraemia.

Diagnostic amniocentesis and bacteraemia

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1987
Thirty antenatal patients with intact membranes were studied to determine the incidence of bacteraemia induced by transabdominal amniocentesis. No bacteraemias were detected following the procedure. Antibiotic prophylaxis is probably not warranted for immunocompetent hospitalized patients undergoing amniocentesis.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Association between Hypoalbuminaemia and Mortality in Patients with Community-Acquired Bacteraemia Is Primarily Related to Acute Disorders.

PLoS ONE, 2016
We sought to investigate whether hypoalbuminaemia was mainly caused by acute or chronic factors in patients with community-acquired bacteraemia. In this population-based study, we considered 1844 adult cases of community-acquired bacteraemia that ...

Recurrent Hypothermia and Autonomic Dysfunction Secondary to Shapiro Syndrome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 44‐year‐old man presented with recurrent hypothermia, diaphoresis and hypertension. Extensive investigation for infectious, inflammatory, metabolic and endocrine aetiologies was negative. MR scan of the brain demonstrated no lesions but revealed callosal dysgenesis, consistent with Shapiro syndrome.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Prosthetic Joint Infections in Patients with Staphylococcus aureus Bacteraemia: A 7-Year Retrospective Study

Antibiotics, 2022
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is the main cause of haematogenous prosthetic joint infections (PJI). We aimed to describe the prevalence and factors associated with PJI in patients with documented S. aureus bacteraemia. Methods: Adult patients with S.

Temporal trends of enterococcal and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium bacteraemias in the northern Dutch-German cross-border region: a ten-year multicentre analysis

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
INTRODUCTION: Enterococcus species, particularly E. faecium and E. faecalis, are prominent causes of bacteraemia, posing significant clinical challenges due to antibiotic resistance.

Targeting Golgi–STING Signaling to Reprogram Innate and Adaptive Immunity for the Treatment of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatform, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs, with a BaTiO3/Mn‐Zif‐8 core and a chondroitin sulfate coating for Golgi targeting. By leveraging neutrophil hitchhiking, it enables targeted delivery to infection sites. Under ultrasound stimulation, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs generates ROS and modulates Golgi pH to activate cGAS–STING ...
