Dual glycosylation of wall teichoic acid modulates the O‐antigen pattern and virulence in serovar 4b Listeria monocytogenes

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Among the 14 serovars of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), serovar 4b strains are the most predominant isolates linked to human listeriosis outbreaks‐a phenotype associated with their unique wall teichoic acid (WTA) decorated with galactose (Gal) and glucose (Glu).

Large scale genomic analysis shows no evidence for pathogen adaptation between the blood and cerebrospinal fluid niches during bacterial meningitis

Microbial Genomics, 2017
Recent studies have provided evidence for rapid pathogen genome diversification, some of which could potentially affect the course of disease. We have previously described such variation seen between isolates infecting the blood and cerebrospinal fluid ...

ArgR is an essential local transcriptional regulator of the arcABC-operon in Streptococcus suis and crucial for biological fitness in acidic environment [PDF]

, 2011
Streptococcus suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs and can also cause severe infections in humans. Despite its clinical relevance very little is known about the factors contributing to its virulence.

The utility of C‐reactive protein in neonatal early‐onset sepsis screening: A territory‐wide cohort analysis

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
C‐reactive protein (CRP) is not recommended for early‐onset sepsis (EOS) screening in term neonates. CRP results can support EOS risk assessment in preterm neonates, but should be interpreted appropriately with other clinical parameters. A CRP level of >12.0 mg/L may suggest the need for lumbar puncture during sepsis evaluation.

Serum procalcitonin in Egyptian patients with acute meningitis and a negative direct cerebrospinal fluid examination

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2014
Summary: Background: To reduce the morbidity and mortality related to bacterial meningitis, it is important to discriminate bacterial meningitis from aseptic meningitis during the acute phase of the disease, when the clinical symptoms are often similar.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.
