Assessment of nasopharyngeal Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization does not permit discrimination between Canadian children with viral and bacterial respiratory infection: a matched-cohort cross-sectional study

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Readily-available diagnostics do not reliably discriminate between viral and bacterial pediatric uncomplicated pneumonia, both of which are common.

A Reversible and Dynamic Surface Functionalization for Fluidity Controlled Multivalent Recognition of Lectins and Bacteria

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A reversible wet chemical surface functionalization results in dynamic multivalent receptors showing ligand‐specific high affinity for lectins and bacteria. Abstract The paper reports the design of multivalent bacterial receptors based on reversible self‐assembled monolayers (rSAMs) on gold and glass substrates, mimicking the ligand display on host ...

Inhalable Polymeric Nanoparticle Containing Triphenylphosphanium Bromide‐modified Sonosensitizer for Enhanced Therapy of Acute Bacterial Pneumonia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacterial pneumonia is the sixth leading cause of death. In this study, an inhalable polymeric nanoparticle NPFCPS‐P is developed, which under US stimulation showed high efficacy in the treatment of acute bacterial pneumonia. This nanoplatform would be much less prone to select bacterial resistance and represented a promising measure for antibiotics ...

Secondary infections worsen the outcome of COVID‐19 in patients with hematological malignancies: A report from the ITA‐HEMA‐COV

open access: yesHematological Oncology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 846-856, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The impact of secondary infections (SI) on COVID‐19 outcome in patients with hematological malignancies (HM) is scarcely documented. To evaluate incidence, clinical characteristics, and outcome of SI, we analyzed the microbiologically documented SI in a large multicenter cohort of adult HM patients with COVID‐19.

Pneumonia after bacterial or viral infection preceded or followed by radiation exposure -- a reanalysis of older radiobiological data and implications for low dose radiotherapy for COVID-19 pneumonia [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Currently, there are 14 ongoing clinical studies on low dose radiotherapy (LDRT) for COVID-19 pneumonia. An underlying assumption is that irradiation of about 1 Gy is effective at ameliorating viral pneumonia. Its rationale, however, relies on early human case series or animal studies mostly obtained in the pre-antibiotic era, where rigorous ...

TIV vaccination modulates host responses to influenza virus infection that correlate with protection against bacterial superinfection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Influenza virus infection predisposes to secondary bacterial pneumonia. Currently licensed influenza vaccines aim at the induction of neutralizing antibodies and are less effective if the induction of neutralizing antibodies is low and/or the

Red Blood Cell‐Induced Bacterial Margination Improves Microbial Hemoadsorption on Engineered Cell‐Depleted Thrombi, Restoring Severe Bacteremia in Rats

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A highly efficient extracorporeal device for treating bacteremia is developed by integrating microfluidic bacterial margination and engineered cell‐depleted thrombi strategically constructed in the device. The rodent models, severely infected with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, recover from bacteremia after two subsequent extracorporeal blood ...

Clinical and Etiological Features of Community-acquired Pneumonia in Children in Vladivostok

open access: yesДетские инфекции (Москва), 2015
A survey of 991 with community-acquired pneumonia. The disease is most proceeded in the average severity (97.2 %). In 99.4 % of cases diagnosed focal, polysegmental pneumonia in 0.6% of cases.

Pneumonia hospitalizations of children aged <2 years in Poland before (2013–2016) and after (2017–2018) universal mass vaccination with 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2022
As infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of pneumonia in children, the World Health Organization recommends childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs).
