Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium at pharyngeal and anorectal sites in patients presenting to an STI outpatient ward

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 389-397, February 2025.
Abstract Background The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is unbridled and on the rise. Extragenital STIs (anal and pharyngeal infections) are commonly asymptomatic, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment and consequently higher chances of onward transmission.

Culture-free whole genome sequencing analysis of

Scientific African
Background: The prevalence of chancroid, which is caused by Haemophilus ducreyi , has declined globally. However, H. ducreyi remains a cause of genital ulcer disease in some sub-Saharan African countries and causes non-genital cutaneous ulcers in ...

Update vulval dermatology – diagnostics and therapy

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 23, Issue 1, Page 65-86, January 2025.
Summary The vulva is a periorificial skin area and as such represents a transitional zone with unique functional and physiological characteristics. Knowledge of its anatomy is limited among both the general population and healthcare professionals, and unrealistic expectations of normal proportions are common.

Outer Membrane Protein DsrA Is the Major Fibronectin-Binding Determinant of Haemophilus ducreyi [PDF]

, 2008
The ability to bind extracellular matrix proteins is a critical virulence determinant for skin pathogens. Haemophilus ducreyi, the etiological agent of the genital ulcer disease chancroid, binds extracellular matrix components, including fibronectin (FN).

Deciphering the Cell Surface Sugar‐Coating via Biochemical Pathways

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 30, Issue 64, November 15, 2024.
Glycans have a significant role in cellular architecture, establishing cell communication and as disease biomarkers. In this work, glycan recognition is discussed using different methods, such as metabolic glycan labelling, boronic acid probes, etc. Selective recognition of glycans would open a future direction in glycan‐specific target therapeutics ...

De novo biosynthesis and nicotinamide biotransformation of nicotinamide mononucleotide by engineered yeast cells

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2024.
Metabolic engineering of P. pastoris achieves NMN production by semi‐biosynthesis and de novo biosynthesis, which represents the highest yield of de novo synthesis of NMN from basic carbon sources yet reported. Abstract β‐Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a precursor of NAD+ in mammals.

Serum Resistance in Haemophilus ducreyi Requires Outer Membrane Protein DsrA [PDF]

, 2000
Haemophilus ducreyi is resistant to killing by normal serum antibody and complement. We discovered an H. ducreyi outer membrane protein required for expression of serum resistance and termed it DsrA (for “ducreyi serum resistance A”).

Correlates of bacterial ulcers and acute HSV-2 infection among men with genital ulcer disease in South Africa: age, recent sexual behaviours, and HIVi,ii

Southern African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Data from baseline surveys and STI/HIV laboratory tests (n=615 men) were used to examine correlates of bacterial ulcers (Treponema pallidum, Haemophilus ducreyi, or Chlamydia trachomatis L1-L3 detected in ulcers) and acute HSV-2 ulcers (HSV-2 positive ...
