Disarming Pore-Forming Toxins with Biomimetic Nanosponges in Intraocular Infections

mSphere, 2019
Intraocular infections are prevalent after traumatic injuries or after common ocular surgeries. Infections cause inflammation that can damage the retina and architecture of the eye, often resulting in poor visual outcomes.

Prevalence of bacterial eye infections and multidrug resistance patterns among eye infection suspected patients in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Bacterial eye infections are major global health issue in developing countries like Ethiopia, poor hygiene, limited healthcare infrastructure, and inadequate treatment options contribute to the increased burden of these infections, leading to ...

Aetiology and treatment of acute bacterial infection of the external eye. [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1982
The microbial flora of 738 patients with acute bacterial conjunctivitis, corneal ulceration, blepharitis, dacryocystitis, and discharging sockets has been investigated. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae were the main pathogens isolated. Str.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

External Infections of the Eye; Bacterial, Viral, and Mycotic

JAMA, 1964
This book satisfied a long-standing need for a text on ocular microbiology written in English. Heretofore, ophthalmologists, residents, and medical students have had to rely on lecture notes, a few manuals, or scant information from general ophthalmology texts.

Prevention of Bacterial Biofilm Formation on Soft Contact Lenses Using Natural Compounds

Journal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection, 2017
Purpose In eye care field, contact lenses (CL) have a great impact on improving vision, but their use can be limited by ocular infection. CL- associated infections can be reduced by good attention to CL storage case practice.

Bacterial pathogens in conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers with special reference to Streptococcus pneumoniae, in early 2008, in the National Eye Hospital, Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Introduction: The most important and frequently occurring eye infections are conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. Though the significance of Streptococcus pneumoniae in eye infections is well-known, identification of causative serotypes is important for ...

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.

Human Pegivirus Encephalitis With Brain Detection and Response to Sofosbuvir Ledipasvir

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human pegivirus (HPgV‐1) has been associated with severe encephalomyelitis in immunocompromised patients. Its neurological spectrum remains poorly defined. We report a slowly progressive encephalitis in a person living with well‐controlled HIV, characterized by white matter abnormalities and inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). HPgV RNA was
