Association between genotypic diversity and biofilm production in group B Streptococcus [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of sepsis and meningitis and an important factor in premature and stillbirths. Biofilm production has been suggested to be important for GBS pathogenesis alongside many other elements ...

Anti‐NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis associated with ovarian teratoma: A case series and literature review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 23-30, April 2025.
Abstract Autoimmune encephalitis is a group of disorders characterized by symptoms of dysfunction of the limbic and extra‐limbic systems that occur in association with antibodies against intracellular antigens, synapses, or proteins located on the surface of nerve cells. Anti‐NMDA (N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate) receptor encephalitis was first described in 2007

Genetic variation in the β2-adrenocepter gene is associated with susceptibility to bacterial meningitis in adults. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Recently, the biased β2-adrenoceptor/β-arrestin pathway was shown to play a pivotal role in crossing of the blood brain barrier by Neisseria meningitidis.

Evaluation of Ceftriaxone as a Monotherapy and Amoxicillin With Clavulanic Acid as Combination Therapy in Surgical Prophylaxis

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) is crucial in preventing postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs), especially in clean and clean‐contaminated surgeries. It was a prospective comparative observational study that compared the effectiveness and safety of single‐dose ceftriaxone monotherapy with amoxicillin–clavulanic acid as a ...

Lack of continuity between Cronobacter biotypes and species as determined using multilocus sequence typing [PDF]

, 2013
The accuracy of the Cronobacter biotyping scheme was compared with the 7-loci multilocus sequence typing scheme. Biotyping did not reliably assign species level identification, as only half (17/31) of the biotype variants were unique to any of the seven ...

Orbital Complications of Acute Rhinosinusitis in Adulthood: Predictors of Outcome and Management

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In a multicenter cohort of 213 adults with orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis, 68% required surgery and the modified Chandler classification was the strongest predictor of treatment modality. While abscess‐related and type II complications frequently necessitated surgical management, final ophthalmologic outcomes were uniformly favorable ...

Complement-Mediated Opsonic Activity in Normal and Infected Human Cerebrospinal Fluid: Early Response During Bacterial Meningitis [PDF]

, 2017
A local defense mechanism in bacterial meningitis was evaluated in humans by measuring complement-mediated opsonic activity (CMOA) in normal and infected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with a complement-dependent phagocytic bactericidal assay. CMOA was absent
