Antibiotic treatment, duration of infectiousness, and disease transmission [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Humans, domestic animals, orchard crops, and ornamental plants are commonly treated with antibiotics in response to bacterial infection. By curing infectious individuals, antibiotic therapy might limit the spread of contagious disease among hosts. But an antibiotic`s suppression of within-host pathogen density might also reduce the probability that the

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.We investigate the utility of microbial cell‐free DNA (mcfDNA) from the blood to predict surgical culture results. In this study, only 26.9% of patients had mcfDNA results that were considered predictive of the causative organism(s). There was a significant burden of contamination in the cohort, emphasizing that dedicated protocols must be followed ...

Large deviations for infectious diseases models [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 We establish large deviation estimates for Poisson driven models of infectious disease, and apply those estimates to the time of exit from the basin of attraction of an endemic equilibrium. We apply our results to the classical SIRS model.

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

Role of 18F-FDG PET in Patients with Infectious Endocarditis
Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2014 It was our purpose to evaluate the clinical impact of systematic PET/CT for the diagnosis of infectious embolisms in patients with infectious endocarditis (IE) in comparison with a historic cohort of IE patients managed without this technique.
