Multilocus sequence types of invasive Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated in the Rio de Janeiro urban area, Brazil [PDF]

, 2012
Invasive infections caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae in vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals have been reported increasingly. In this study we used multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to study genetic relationships between six invasive strains of

Cardiac rhythm devices in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction – role, timing, and optimal use in contemporary practice. European Journal of Heart Failure expert consensus document

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Guidelines for management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) emphasize personalized care, patient engagement, and shared decision‐making. Medications and cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices are recommended with a high level of evidence. However, there are significant disparities: patients who could benefit from devices

Superantigens Are Critical for Staphylococcus aureus Infective Endocarditis, Sepsis, and Acute Kidney Injury

mBio, 2013
Infective endocarditis and kidney infections are serious complications of Staphylococcus aureus sepsis. We investigated the role of superantigens (SAgs) in the development of lethal sepsis, infective endocarditis, and kidney infections.

Recognition of specific sialoglycan structures by oral streptococci impacts the severity of endocardial infection. [PDF]

, 2019
Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis are primary colonizers of the tooth surface. Although generally non-pathogenic in the oral environment, they are a frequent cause of infective endocarditis.

Synthetic Biology‐Based Engineering Living Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Application

Exploration, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights synthetic biology‐driven antibacterial strategies, focusing on three innovative approaches: engineered bacteriophages for precision bacterial targeting, reprogrammed microbes that detect quorum‐sensing signals or metabolites to release antimicrobials, and engineering mammalian cells that recognize pathogen‐associated ...

A Dual‐Mode Colorimetric‐Photothermal Immunoassay for Rapid and Sensitive Detection of Staphylococcus aureus in Real Samples

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Based on the double‐antibody sandwich form, the colorimetric‐photothermal immunoassay has dual detection modes. The colorimetric detection mode was based on the absorbance intensity at 651 nm of oxTMB catalyzed by Pt@Au@Ab1, and the photothermal detection mode was based on the temperature of oxTMB under 808 nm near‐infrared (NIR) light irradiation via ...
