Membership and behavior of ultra-low-diversity pathogen communities present in the gut of humans during prolonged critical illness. [PDF]
UnlabelledWe analyzed the 16S rRNA amplicon composition in fecal samples of selected patients during their prolonged stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) and observed the emergence of ultra-low-diversity communities (1 to 4 bacterial taxa) in 30% of the ...

Cyclic AMP and Fluconazole Resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
ABSTRACT Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is involved in the stress response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae . We show that cAMP is required for resistance to fluconazole in S. cerevisiae . In addition, activation of Ras2 , a regulator of cAMP generation, results in some ...

Infections in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Evolving Risks and Prevention Strategies
ABSTRACT Infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), reflecting both intrinsic immune dysfunction and therapy‐related immunosuppression. The pathogenesis of immunodeficiency in CLL is multifactorial: neoplastic B cells impair humoral immunity, T cells are functionally exhausted, and ...

ABSTRACT The application of nanoparticles (NPs) as therapeutic strategies for treating microbial infections and cancer is gaining attention due to their physicochemical properties. In this study, we synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the aqueous extract of the roots and leaves of Terminalia phanerophlebia.

Transcriptome assembly and profiling of Candida auris reveals novel insights into biofilm-mediated resistance [PDF]
Candida auris has emerged as a significant global nosocomial pathogen. This is primarily due to its antifungal resistance profile but also its capacity to form adherent biofilm communities on a range of clinically important substrates.
