Measuring (1,3)-β-D-glucan in tracheal aspirate, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and serum for detection of suspected Candida pneumonia in immunocompromised and critically ill patients: a prospective observational study

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background While Candida pneumonia is life-threatening, biomarker measurements to early detect suspected Candida pneumonia are lacking. This study compared the diagnostic values of measuring levels of (1, 3)-β-D-glucan in endotracheal aspirate ...

Use of nested PCR for the detection of trichomonads in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background The methods routinely used to detect trichomonads in the lungs are not sensitive enough, and an effective method is urgently needed. Method Primers were first designed to match the conserved area of the 18S rRNA gene of trichomonads.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
