Achieving Optimal Health With Host‐Directed Therapies (HDTs) in Infectious Diseases—A New Horizon
Host‐directed therapies (HDTs) represent a transformative approach in infectious disease management by targeting host factors to enhance immune responses and inhibit viral replication. This innovative strategy leverages advanced genomics and gene editing technologies, offering promising avenues for improved patient outcomes and a new horizon in ...

Prolonged Fever in Children: An Inpatient Diagnostic Framework for Infections in Australia
ABSTRACT There are many causes of fever in children, ranging from common and self‐limiting to serious and life threatening. Careful assessment of children with prolonged fever without an obvious or identified source requires detailed history and examination with consideration of infections unique to the specific geographical region and individual ...

Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolates from Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, Are Predominantly Susceptible to Aminoglycosides and Macrolides [PDF]
Melioidosis is a potentially fatal disease caused by the saprophytic bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Resistance to gentamicin is generally a hallmark of B. pseudomallei, and gentamicin is a selective agent in media used for diagnosis of melioidosis.

Bifidobacterium bifidum CCFM1163 alleviates cathartic colon by regulating the gut microbiota, promoting the secretion of acetate and propionate, and activating the downstream GPR41‐Gβγ pathway, thus enhancing both the intestinal mechanical barrier and the enteric nervous system. ABSTRACT Cathartic colon, a form of slow‐transit constipation, arises from

Identification and characterisation of toxin-antitoxin systems (TA) in Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
The aim of this study was to identify and characterise type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the human disease melioidosis. 8 putative TA systems were identified within the genome of B. pseudomallei

Sepsis: the evolution of molecular pathogenesis concepts and clinical management
(A) The innate and adaptive immune responses established during long‐term evolution can eliminate most invading microorganisms. (B) Sepsis only occurs when the balance is disrupted and the pathogen force overwhelms the host's defense force. (C) Only when the superposition of external forces (sensitive antimicrobial drugs) and internal forces ...

Molecular Investigations of PenA-mediated β-lactam Resistance in Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
Burkholderia pseudomallei is the etiological agent of melioidosis. Because of the bacterium’s intrinsic resistance and propensity to establish latent infections, melioidosis therapy is complicated and prolonged. Newer generation b-lactams, specifically

Burkholderia pseudomallei in Colombia: Laboratory Approaches to Enhance Diagnostic Accuracy
Background Melioidosis is a challenging disease to diagnose, and diagnostic complications can delay treatment, adversely impacting patient outcomes. Methods Over a period of 1 year, 68 isolates, initially identified as Burkholderia spp. or oxidase‐positive nonfermenting Gram‐negative bacilli (excluding Pseudomonas aeruginosa), were collected from ...
