Bacterial profile of ocular infections: a systematic review

BMC Ophthalmology, 2017
Background Bacteria are the major contributor of ocular infections worldwide. Ocular infections, if left untreated, can damage the structures of the eye with possible blindness and visual impairments.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus Recovered from Humans, Food, and Recreational Waters in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [PDF]

, 2017
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is an important agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) in young women, but information about this pathogen in human microbiota and in common environment is lacking. The aim of this study was to characterize S.

Pathogenic conversion of coagulase-negative staphylococci [PDF]

Microbes and Infection, 2017
Humans and animals are colonized by members of the genus Staphylococcus, however only some of these species evolved to cause invasive disease. The genetic basis for conversion of commensal staphylococci into pathogens is not known. We hypothesized that Staphylococcus aureus genes for coagulation and agglutination in vertebrate blood (coa, vwb and clfA)

Impact of Prophylactic Cefepime on Surgical Site Infection and Severe Morbidity in Patients Who Underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy With Preoperative Biliary Drainage

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although prophylactic broad‐spectrum antibiotics can reduce postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), the optimal regimen remains uncertain. This study evaluated the impact of prophylactic cefepime (CFPM) on surgical site infection (SSI) and severe morbidity after PD with preoperative biliary drainage.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci release a purine analog that inhibits Staphylococcus aureus virulence

Nature Communications, 2021
Coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus colonize similar niches in mammals. Here, Chin et al. show that a coagulase-negative staphylococcus secretes 6-thioguanine, a purine analog that suppresses S.

Concomitant endocarditis and spondylodiscitis due to coagulase-negative Staphylococci and a review of the literature

IDCases, 2021
Background: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are part of the normal skin flora. Although CoNS are generally considered as low pathogenic microorganisms, they can cause serious infections, particularly in the context of foreign body material.

DOCK8 deficiency presenting with sclerosing cholangitis, raised immunoglobulin E, and bronchiectasis: A fatal pediatric case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency. Patients with DOCK8 deficiency typically present at early age with allergic manifestations, cutaneous and respiratory infections, raised immunoglobulin E, and they have an increased risk of developing malignancies.

Characterization of Staphylococcus spp. strains in milk from buffaloes with mastitis in Brazil: the need to identify to species level to avoid misidentification

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland that affects dairy cattle worldwide causing economic losses. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the predominant cause of this type of infection.
