Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Clinical evaluation and cross-validation of the point-of-care system istat at the emergency department versus central laboratory analysis

, 2014
BACKGROUND: In the emergency department (ED), large numbers of blood samples are taken on a daily basis. Owing to their ability to produce rapid results, point-of-care (POC) analysis systems are applied increasingly in the ED.

Point-of-care lactate in pediatric sepsis: a single-center observational study

Frontiers in Pediatrics
IntroductionLactate is a key biomarker in the assessment of sepsis, reflecting tissue hypoperfusion and correlating with disease severity and outcomes. However, reliance on standard laboratory testing may delay clinical decision-making in time-sensitive ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
