Acetyl‐Phosphate Dependent Protein Acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
The role of acetyl‐phosphate‐dependent non‐enzymatic protein acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae was investigated through the deletion of the phosphotransacetylase (pta) and the acetate kinase (ackA) genes, this led to a decrease and increase in protein acetylation, respectively.

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Biomedical Research and Clinical Translation
Bacterial membrane vesicle biomedical applications. ABSTRACT Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles (bEVs) are lipid (single‐ or double‐bilayer) nanostructures secreted by virtually all bacteria that play fundamental roles in intercellular communication and have emerged as powerful, multifunctional tools in biomedicine. Their intrinsic ability to encapsulate

Sutimlimab in Patients With Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD): Results From a Managed Access Program
ABSTRACT Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a low‐grade lymphoproliferative disorder accounting for 15%–30% of patients suffering from autoimmune hemolytic anemias. The clonal B cells produce autoantibodies primarily of the IgM‐κ class that cause agglutination of red blood cells (RBCs) at temperatures ≤ 37°C and activate the classical complement pathway ...

ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly used to treat malignant and non‐malignant diseases. Following allogeneic HSCT, patients are particularly vulnerable to vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPD) because conditioning depletes immune cells, including memory cells.

A Systematic Review of Cases of Meningitis in the Absence of Cerebrospinal Fluid Pleocytosis on Lumbar Puncture [PDF]
Background: Definitive diagnosis of meningitis is made by analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) obtained from a lumbar puncture (LP), which may take days.
