Decoding the double trouble: A mathematical modelling of co-infection dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza-like illness [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 After the detection of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in late December, the cases of Covid-19 have spiralled out around the globe. Due to the clinical similarity of Covid-19 with other flulike syndromes, patients are assayed for other ...

Effect of nicotine on streptococcus mutans [PDF]
, 2014 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Streptococcus mutans is a key contributor to dental caries. Smokers have increased caries, but the association between tobacco, nicotine, caries and S. mutans growth is little investigated.

Characterization and ex vivo modelling of endodontic infections from the Arabian Gulf region
International Endodontic Journal, Volume 58, Issue 7, Page 1091-1108, July 2025.Abstract Aim The microbiota of endodontic infections in patients from the Arabian Gulf region (AGR) is largely unexplored. While research in different global regions has investigated the microbial composition of such infections, studies using shotgun metagenomic sequencing (SMS) alongside culture‐dependent techniques (CDT) are limited.

Service evaluation to establish the sensitivity, specificity and additional value of broad-range 16S rDNA PCR for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from resected endocardial material in patients from eight UK and Ireland hospitals [PDF]
, 2014 Infective endocarditis (IE) can be diagnosed in the clinical microbiology laboratory by culturing explanted heart valve material. We present a service evaluation that examines the sensitivity and specificity of a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain ...

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 11, Issue 3, June 2025.ABSTRACT Objectives Peri‐implantitis is mostly caused by a pathological biofilm that forms through complex processes, initiated by the formation of the salivary pellicle on implant surfaces. Understanding the nature of these pellicles and biofilm and how to remove them is important for preventing peri‐implant infections and improving the success of ...

Streptococcus oralis maintains homeostasis in oral biofilms by antagonizing the cariogenic pathogen Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
Molecular Oral Microbiology, 2018 SummaryBacteria residing in oral biofilms live in a state of dynamic equilibrium with one another. The intricate synergistic or antagonistic interactions between them are crucial for determining this balance. Using the six‐species Zürich “supragingival” biofilm model, this study aimed to investigate interactions regarding growth and localization of the

Pneumococcus and the stress-gradient hypothesis: a trade-off links $R_0$ and susceptibility to co-colonization across countries [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Modern molecular technologies have revolutionized our understanding of bacterial epidemiology, but reported data across different settings remain under-integrated in common theoretical frameworks. Pneumococcus serotype co-colonization, caused by the polymorphic bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae, has been increasingly investigated in recent years. While

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 55, Issue 6, June 2025.The study design included a derivation cohort of 236 visits and a validation cohort of 85 visits. Patients with cirrhosis and ascitic decompensation were evaluated and categorized based on the presence or absence of bacteriologically confirmed‐spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (BC‐SBP).

Investigation of the Cyprus donkey milk bacterial diversity by 16SrDNA high-throughput sequencing in a Cyprus donkey farm [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The interest in milk originating from donkeys is growing worldwide due to its claimed functional and nutritional properties, especially for sensitive population groups, such as infants with cow milk protein allergy. The current study aimed to assess the microbiological quality of donkey milk produced in a donkey farm in Cyprus using cultured-based and ...
