Dynamic Profiling of Lipoteichoic Acid (LTA) and/or Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Positive Extracellular Vesicles in Plasma as Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers for Bacterial Infection

Advanced Science
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as promising biomarkers for diagnosing bacterial infections. This study explores the diagnostic potential of plasma EVs carrying bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or lipoteichoic acid (LTA).

Antibiotic-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections in Patients With Cancer [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2014
Patients with cancer are at high risk for infections caused by antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacteria. In this review, we summarize trends among the major pathogens and clinical syndromes associated with antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacterial infection in patients with malignancy, with special attention to carbapenem and expanded-spectrum β ...

Identification of protein biomarkers to differentiate between gram-negative and gram-positive infections in adults suspected of sepsis

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Sepsis is mostly caused by bacterial infections and requires a prompt diagnosis. There is a need for improved diagnostics by differentiating between gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial infections.

Complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: Bacterial infections

Hematology/Oncology and Stem Cell Therapy, 2017
Bacterial infections remain a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), especially in the pre-engraftment phase. The risk of bacterial infections is mainly related to neutropenia, mucositis, and the presence of vascular lines.

Treatment Options for Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative Bacterial Infections [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2019
AbstractAntimicrobial resistance has become one of the greatest threats to public health, with rising resistance to carbapenems being a particular concern due to the lack of effective and safe alternative treatment options. Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria of clinical relevance include the Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ...

Burden of Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections have emerged as a major public health concern. The aim of the present study was to detect the rate of infections due to MDR Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) in a tertiary care hospital, the rate of

Host Inactivation of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide Prevents Prolonged Tolerance Following Gram-Negative Bacterial Infection [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2008
A transient state of tolerance to microbial molecules accompanies many infectious diseases. Such tolerance is thought to minimize inflammation-induced injury, but it may also alter host defenses. Here we report that recovery from the tolerant state induced by Gram-negative bacteria is greatly delayed in mice that lack acyloxyacyl hydrolase (AOAH), a ...
