Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii and other Acinetobacter spp. causing neonatal sepsis: focus on NDM-1 and its linkage to ISAba125

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Carbapenem-resistant determinants and their surrounding genetic structure were studied in Acinetobacter spp. from neonatal sepsis cases collected over 7 years at a tertiary care hospital. Acinetobacter spp.

Enrichment of Hyaluronic Acid Binding Tumor Cells by Modulation of Selective Adhesion on Microgel Surfaces

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We have developed a thermoresponsive microgel system for the selective enrichment of hyaluronic acid‐binding tumor cells. By modulating the adhesion on the microgel surface via temperature changes from 37°C to 30°C, we demonstrate a novel proof‐of‐principle for separating these tumor cell from white blood cells, which has potential applications in ...

Emergence of Azithromycin Resistance Mediated by Phosphotransferase-Encoding mph(A) in Diarrheagenic Vibrio fluvialis

open access: yesmSphere, 2019
The azithromycin resistance conferred by phosphotransferase is encoded in the gene mph(A). This gene has been discovered in and reported for many bacterial species.

The Health Impacts of Climate Change: A Study of Cholera in Tanzania [PDF]

open access: yes
Increased temperatures and changes in patterns of rainfall as a result of climate change are widely recognized to entail serious consequences for human health, including the risk of diarrheal diseases.

When Heredity Met the Bacterium: Quarantines in New York and Danzig, 1898-1921 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
[Excerpt] Recent careful examinations of American quarantines placed on incoming migrants have found that health officials were potent carries of bigotries rooted in the larger society; but usually historians have not paid sufficient attention to the ...

Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interactions between glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs) and carbohydrates (glycans) are essential to many biological processes relevant to human health and disease. For most GBPs, however, their glycan interactome—the repertoire of glycans recognized and their specificities—is poorly defined.

Use of oral cholera vaccine as a vaccine probe to define the geographical dimensions of person-to-person transmission of cholera

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background: Cholera is known to be transmitted from person to person, and inactivated oral cholera vaccines (OCVs) have been shown to confer herd protection via interruption of this transmission.

Anti-phage islands force their target phage to directly mediate island excision and spread. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, is antagonized by the lytic phage ICP1 in the aquatic environment and in human hosts. Mobile genetic elements called PLEs (phage-inducible chromosomal island-like elements) protect V.

Mitigating Health Disparities Through Empathetic Policymaking During Times of Crisis

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly exacerbated the existing disparities and inequities in health and healthcare among historically marginalized populations. Today, these impacts still echo. These persistent structured inequities erode the public's trust in government, lead to failure in public policies, and result in worse health consequences ...

Quantitative prediction of multivalent ligand–receptor binding affinities for influenza, cholera, and anthrax inhibition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Multivalency achieves strong, yet reversible binding by the simultaneous formation of multiple weak bonds. It is a key interaction principle in biology and promising for the synthesis of high-affinity inhibitors of pathogens. We present a molecular model
