Management of Clostridioides difficile infection: an Italian Delphi consensus [PDF]

Background: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), a leading cause of nosocomial deaths, is a microbiota-mediated disease. As such, the use of broader spectrum antibiotics, such as vancomycin and metronidazole, can prime the gastrointestinal tract to ...

Probing the Geometry of Data with Diffusion Fréchet Functions [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Many complex ecosystems, such as those formed by multiple microbial taxa, involve intricate interactions amongst various sub-communities. The most basic relationships are frequently modeled as co-occurrence networks in which the nodes represent the various players in the community and the weighted edges encode levels of interaction.

Modeling cancer–microbiome interactions in vitro: A guide to co‐culture platforms

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 156, Issue 11, Page 2053-2067, 1 June 2025.
Abstract The biology of cancer is characterized by an intricate interplay of cells originating not only from the tumor mass, but also its surrounding environment. Different microbial species have been suggested to be enriched in tumors and the impacts of these on tumor phenotypes is subject to intensive investigation.

Flows revisited: the model category structure and its left determinedness [PDF]

Cahiers de Topologie et G\'eom\'etrie Diff\'erentielle Cat\'egoriques, vol LXI-2 (2020), 2018
Flows are a topological model of concurrency which enables to encode the notion of refinement of observation and to understand the homological properties of branchings and mergings of execution paths. Roughly speaking, they are Grandis' $d$-spaces without an underlying topological space. They just have an underlying homotopy type. This note is twofold.

Understanding how foods and enteral feedings influence the gut microbiome

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 555-574, June 2025.
Abstract The gut microbiome supports both gut and overall health. Diet is known to be one of the driving factors that influences the gut microbiome. The foods we eat, the dietary and nondietary components they contain, various food consumption patterns, and the ratio of nutrients consumed have been shown to impact gut microbiome composition and ...

Safety and Efficacy of Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT) in Patients With Infective Endocarditis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life‐threatening infection requiring prolonged intravenous antimicrobial therapy. Outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) has emerged as an alternative to prolonged hospitalization, but its safety and efficacy in IE remain debated.
