Abstract Aim The management of infected diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) requires balancing the need for timely interventions against the desire for targeted antibiotic therapy, which relies on laboratory results. This study aimed to evaluate concordance between molecular and conventional culture and sensitivity (C&S) methods in identifying bacteria from ...

Cell Structure of Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
SUMMARY: When examined by phase-contrast microscopy living diphtheria bacilli generally appear fairly transparent. They are sometimes unicellular but are frequently divided into compartments by readily visible cross-septa. In gravis and mitis strains the cross septa are usually few in number and the compartments long, but in intermedius strains there ...

The Role of Foxes in Transmitting Zoonotic Bacteria to Humans: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases inflict substantial burdens on human and animal populations worldwide, and many of these infections are bacterial. An Australian study investigating environmental risk factors for Buruli ulcer in humans detected the causative agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans , in the faeces of wild foxes, a novel finding that suggests foxes may ...

This study presents a polyanhydride‐based delivery platform for single‐injection, self‐boosting vaccines. The system enables programmable, pulsatile release of diphtheria toxoid with high antigen recovery and is guided by machine learning for tunability. In vivo results show immune responses comparable to multi‐dose regimens, highlighting its potential
