A Case of Recurrent Erysipelas Caused by Streptococcus mitis Group

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2018
The aetiology of erysipelas remains poorly defined though beta-haemolytic streptococci are considered as the main causative pathogens. We describe a case of a 70-year-old woman with recurrent erysipelas in her left arm due to infection with streptococci ...

A novel sialic acid-binding adhesin present in multiple species contributes to the pathogenesis of Infective endocarditis.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Bacterial binding to platelets is a key step in the development of infective endocarditis (IE). Sialic acid, a common terminal carbohydrate on host glycans, is the major receptor for streptococci on platelets.

Diversity and random forest models of oral microbiomes in periodontal health using publicly available data

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence on the 16S metabarcoding of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health remains limited. We aimed to analyze the diversity and potential of machine‐learning models of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health. Methods A total of 848 samples (supragingival = 210;

Repeat Intraocular Sampling and Microbiological Testing in Infectious Endophthalmitis: A 27‐Year Prospective Observational Study at an Australian Statewide Tertiary Referral Centre

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Endophthalmitis requiring multiple ocular tissue sampling for microbiological testing is uncommon and has not been previously studied. This study aims to analyse cases with at least two ocular tissue samplings and testing of different ocular samples against culture yields. Methods A 27‐year prospective observational study using data

Antimicrobial‐Releasing Implant Substrates for Combating Oral Biofilms: An In Vitro Study

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Peri‐implantitis, a biofilm‐associated inflammatory disease, significantly threatens dental implant longevity. Current treatments face limitations due to biofilm robustness. This study evaluates the efficacy of antimicrobial‐releasing titanium‐silica (Ti/SiO2) composite implant systems against multispecies oral ...
