Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Association of tcdB PCR Cycle Threshold with Toxin Antigen Positivity and Clinical Severity in Clostridioides difficile Infection

Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science
Various methods are used to diagnose and evaluate the severity of a Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Among them, the correlation between the tcdB gene PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values and toxin antigen detection is a key area of research.
