Morbi-mortality of lower respiratory tract infections in Spain, 1997-2018

Anales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra, 2021
Background. Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are one of the leading causes of infectious disease mortality worldwide. The aims of the study were to determine the incidence of hospitalizations due to LRTIs, and to analyze the clinical outcomes ...

Isolation and Identification of Bacteria Associated with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection among Patients Attending General Hospital Katsina

UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research, 2017
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) have been one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Routine diagnosis of LRTIs in our hospitals does not include adequate and extensive identification of these organisms ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

The Diagnostic Value of Metagenomic Next–Generation Sequencing in Lower Respiratory Tract Infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Lower respiratory tract infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality and significant clinical harm. Due to the limited ability of traditional pathogen detection methods, anti-infective therapy is mostly empirical.

Mixed community-acquired lower respiratory tract infections [PDF]

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2007
Although mixed infections are known to be clinically relevant in conditions such as nosocomial pneumonia and ventilator-related pneumonia, it is increasingly recognized that a substantial number of community-acquired lower respiratory tract infections may also be attributed to more than one pathogenic organism. A better definition of the true incidence

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

MV130 in the Prevention of Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infections: A Retrospective Real-World Study in Children and Adults

Vaccines
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are among the most common and important problems in clinical medicine, making antibiotics the gold standard therapeutic option regardless of their frequent viral etiology.

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections in children: Assessment of predictive value in tuberculosis and HIV coinfection

Acta Biomedica Scientifica
Background. In phthisiology, all recurrent respiratory tract infections are considered risk factors for tuberculosis (TB) in children. A differentiated assessment of the predictive value of recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections will ...
