Mid‐regional pro‐adrenomedullin: A rapid sepsis biomarker for diagnosing spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhosis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
The study design included a derivation cohort of 236 visits and a validation cohort of 85 visits. Patients with cirrhosis and ascitic decompensation were evaluated and categorized based on the presence or absence of bacteriologically confirmed‐spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (BC‐SBP).

First‐in‐class inhibitors of SbnA reduce siderophore production in Staphylococcus aureus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The production of the iron‐chelating compound staphyloferrin B by the most invasive S. aureus strains is crucial for colonization, virulence, and survival in the host. Staphyloferrin B biosynthesis is carried out by eight enzymes, the Sbn system, that offer an appealing source of potential targets for the development of antimicrobials.

Hand eczema and changes in the skin microbiome after 2 weeks of topical corticosteroid treatment

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Our results suggest that the microbiome, and not only Staphylococcus aureus, in moderate‐to‐severe hand eczema is significantly altered in lesional skin; however, shifting towards that of nonlesional skin following 2 weeks of treatment with a potent topical corticosteroid.

Staphylococcus hominis cellulitis and bacteremia associated with surgical clips

IDCases, 2022
Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcus aureus are the most common pathogens causing skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI). Guideline-recommended empiric antibiotics targeting these organisms would also treat coagulase negative Staphylococci, which are ...

Teicoplanin non-susceptible coagulase-negative staphylococci in a large Australian healthcare network: Implications for treatment with vancomycin

Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017
Introduction and Objectives: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are relatively low in virulence but some are increasingly recognized as agents of clinically important infections.

Immunoblot fingerprinting of coagulase negative staphylococci. [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1988
Coagulase negative staphylococci have become prevalent nosocomial pathogens following the implantation of foreign bodies such as prosthetic valves, cerebrospinal fluid shunts, joint prostheses and central venous catheters. They are also the most common contaminants of blood cultures so that a means of differentiating contamination from a true ...

Limited Risk of Microbial Contamination During Hypothermic and Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Kidneys

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Machine perfusion is increasingly used to preserve donor kidneys. Theoretically, machine perfusion poses as a risk of contamination. We investigated perfusion samples. Our findings show that even though contamination of the perfusate does occur, this did not lead to infectious complications in the recipients.

Bacteremia in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients within 1 Year of Transplant

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
We retrospectively reviewed bloodstream infections (BSI) in pediatric recipients of solid organ transplants over a 14‐year period. Overall BSI rates were significant but decreased over time. Risk factors for BSI were identified which may help identify interventions which further decrease rates.
