Interaction of Staphylococcus aureus di‐iron Repair of Iron Centers protein with the iron–sulfur cluster assembly SUF system

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Repair of Iron Centers (RIC) proteins are present in several pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, contributing to resistance to nitroxidative stress and virulence. In this work, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which S. aureus RIC facilitates iron mobilization, through structural analyses and functional studies.

From Sound to Silence: Cerebellar Abscesses and Herniation Due to Cochlear Implant Infection With Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cochlear implantation (CI) is a safe and well‐established intervention for sensorineural hearing loss, with a low incidence of severe postoperative infections. We present the first reported case of cerebellar abscess and herniation due to CI infection. This unique case involves a 57‐year‐old man with recurrent cochlear implant infections, necessitating
