Rapid Diagnostic Testing for Infective Endocarditis and Myocarditis Using Nanopore Targeted Sequencing

iLABMED, EarlyView.
This research presents a method based on nanopore targeted sequencing (NTS) with pathogen‐specific panels for testing infective endocarditis (IE) and myocarditis. The NTS achieved a detection limit of 20 copies/test for the IE target panel and 10 copies/test for the myocarditis target panel.

All‐in‐one optical microfiber with an interface for MRSA in biofilms: Integrating rapid quantitative analysis and synergistic antimicrobial therapy

InfoMat, EarlyView.
Aiming at the management of MRSA biofilms, an all‐in‐one optical microfiber that integrated rapid quantitative analysis with synergistic antimicrobial therapy is developed. The prepared interfacial‐functionalized optical microfiber demonstrates the ability to detect MRSA concentrations in infection sites, enhance therapeutic efficacy, and assess ...

Assessment of Factors Contributing to Infection Severity and High Levels of Drug Resistance in Clinical Enterococcus Isolates

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
E. faecalis was the predominant species (60.7%). Moreover, 39.3% of the isolates were identified as VRE with an MIC > 32 μg/mL, and the vanA gene was detected in 35.7% of the isolates. High‐level resistance to gentamicin and streptomycin was observed in 60.7% and 50% of the isolates, respectively.
