Abiotrophiaspp. andStaphylococcus epidermidisEndocarditis Treated with Daptomycin [PDF]

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2008
Endocarditis due toAbiotrophiaspp. occurs in about 5% of endocarditis cases. Most of the cases respond to a combination of penicillin and gentamicin, or vancomycin. We describe a case ofStaphylococcus epidermidis(CONS) andAbiotrophiaspp. endocarditis that failed vancomycin treatment, but responded to daptomycin and rifampin.

Smart Sampling Capsule for Capture and Detection of Enteric Pathogens in the Small Intestine

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An ingestible smart sampling capsule for capturing asymptomatic enteric pathogens at their primary sites of interaction within the small intestine. This capability enables non‐invasive detection of early pathogen colonization within the gut environment prior to fecal shedding, providing a robust approach for pathogen surveillance and microbiome studies.

The Gut Resistome Atlas in Preterm Infants Enables Prediction of Necrotizing Enterocolitis Onset

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The gut resistome of preterm infants and its clinical relevance remain poorly understood. This study performs in‐depth integrative analyses of 5,684 gut metagenomes from preterm infants, uncovering distinct features that diverge from term infants. Notably, the gut resistome of preterm infants converges 9 days before necrotizing enterocolitis onset ...

Identification of a Pair of Linear or Cyclic Naturally Inspired Bifunctional Lipopeptide Antibiotics That Overcome Antimicrobial Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The underexplored bacterial genus Aquimarina harbors a large biosynthetic potential for discovering new antibiotics. Here, the authors identify a pair of linear or cyclic bifunctional cationic lipopeptide antibiotics, aquicidine L and C4, inspired by the aquicidine gene cluster from Aquimarina.

Staphylococcus spp. in Bloodstream Infections

, 2022
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) have gained importance due to the increase in their incidence in recent years. BSIs increase the length of hospital stay, the costs associated and the patients' morbidity and mortality rates. Early diagnosis, in addition to the identification of the microorganism and its sensitivity to antimicrobial agents, has great ...
