Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...

Silent Contaminants: Antibiotic‐Resistant Bacteria in Food Systems
This graphical abstract illustrates the “farm‐to‐fork” cycle of antibiotic resistance, highlighting how antibiotic use promotes resistant bacteria that spread through animals, crops, food, and humans, emphasizing the interconnected nature of antimicrobial resistance and the need for integrated One Health strategies to mitigate its global impact ...

Of 210 consecutive non‐duplicate carbapenem‐resistant Gram‐negative isolates collected at a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan (December 2024–May 2025), 200 had a ceftazidime‐avibactam (CAZ–AVI) result; 70.5% were susceptible (141/200; 95% CI 63.7–76.7). Susceptibility varied by sample source (p = 0.008), being highest in blood cultures (81.2%),

Endotoxins and Biological Implications—Review
Graphical overview of endotoxin sources, exposure routes, biological effects, detection methods, and routes of elimination. ABSTRACT Endotoxins, also known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), are structural components of the outer membrane of Gram‐negative bacteria and some cyanobacteria.

The roles of distinct lung neutrophil compartments involved in hvKp infection remain poorly understood. Here, utilising single‐cell RNA sequencing, we identified four neutrophil subsets in the lungs of hvKp‐infected mice: N1, N2, N3a, and N3b, which were organised along a maturation trajectory.
