Chain‐Length Regulation by WzzE Is Necessary for, but Genetically Separable From, Cyclic Enterobacterial Common Antigen Synthesis

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Here, we demonstrate that polysaccharide chain length regulation plays a distinct role in enabling formation of a cyclic molecule important for the bacterial cell surface. However, this function is necessary, but not sufficient for the cyclic molecule's biosynthesis.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL exacerbates orthotopic allograft transplantation vasculopathy via impairment of endothelial cell function

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Surgical Treatment of Enterococcus Faecalis Mitral Valve Endocarditis Complicated with Mycotic Aneurysm

Kardiyovasküler Tıp E Dergisi/E Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive bacterium that can cause rapidly progressive endocarditis and requires urgent and aggressive treatment, including surgical intervention. Bacterial endocarditis may present itself with complications. Care should be

Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) due to Streptococcus gordonii

Microbiologia Medica, 2009
Endocarditis is an inflammatory state of the endothelium that promotes thrombus formation and tissue damage on the surface of heart valves. Recent studies have reported endocarditis mortality rates ranging from 12% to 46% (2008).

Photodynamic inactivation increases cell death rate on persistent Staphylococcus aureus

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Persistent bacteria have the ability to survive extended periods of antibiotic stress by entering a metabolically dormant state. This study investigated persistence formation in two S. aureus strains and evaluated the effects of PDI using curcumin. Post‐PDI time‐kill assays conducted after metabolic recovery showed a higher rate of bacterial death ...

Mycotic aneurysm of the posterior tibial artery – a rare complication of bacterial endocarditis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2008
Introduction Distal arterial embolisation and subsequent aneurysm formation are rare occurrences and most are secondary to trauma. We have found no case reports that describe posterior tibial aneurysm formation secondary to bacterial endocarditis.

Purulent Meningitis as an Unusual Presentation of Staphylococcus aureus Endocarditis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Case Reports in Medicine, 2011
On presentation of Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, unusual manifestations may represent the main clinical features of the disease. Isolated bacterial meningitis as the first manifestation of endocarditis is considered to be an unusual neurological ...

Screening for Q Fever during Other Bacterial Endocarditis in Endemic Areas: Our Experience with Three Patients

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2019
Endocarditis is not a usual manifestation of acute Q fever. There is an ongoing debate about the need to screen patients for valvular diseases after acute Q fever.

The role of antibiotics in preventing surgical complications in periodontology and implant dentistry

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in periodontal and implant surgeries, either before, during or after surgery, to prevent postoperative infection and reduce early implant failure. However, the potential benefits may be undermined by the risks of resistance and sensitization, thus requiring a strict indication for prescription.

Linezolid‐induced lactic acidosis in critically ill patients: A multicentre study of incidence, severity and predictors

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 7, Page 2239-2249, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Linezolid, a synthetic oxazolidinone for resistant gram‐positive infections, is generally associated with mild adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, but more serious reactions like lactic acidosis (LA) have also been reported.
