Pneumococcal Meningitis Complicated by Cerebral Vasculitis, Abscess, Hydrocephalus, and Hearing Loss

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2018
Intracranial abscesses, postinfectious vasculitis, and hydrocephalus are rare complications of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) meningitis, and to our knowledge, there have been no case reports where all these 3 complications occurred in a single

Predicting optimal impact interventions in the post‐HPV vaccination world

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Prophylactic vaccination is a powerful tool that changes exposure to infections and associated morbidity of preventable diseases. We discuss the impact of pneumococci and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination on the population biology of the two micro‐organisms and related public health effects.

Validation of Hexaplex Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay for the Detection of Carbapenemase Genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates From Pediatric Inpatients

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A novel hexaplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) method was developed to rapidly and accurately detect five key carbapenemase genes and a Klebsiella pneumoniae‐specific target in a single reaction. This makes it an effective tool for CRKP detection in resource‐constrained environments.

A Pangenome Approach for Discerning Species-Unique Gene Markers for Identifications of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Correct identifications of isolates and strains of the Mitis-Group of the genus Streptococcus are particularly difficult, due to high genetic similarity, resulting from horizontal gene transfer and homologous recombination, and unreliable phenotypic and ...

Dextran sodium sulfate confounds causal role of periodontitis in inflammatory bowel disease

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emerging evidence supports a bidirectional link between periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To investigate this relationship, experimental models commonly use dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to induce colitis. However, DSS is presumed to selectively affect the colon, and its potential off‐target effects on the oral ...

Serological immunity against vaccine‐preventable diseases in children with inflammatory bowel disease at diagnosis

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of vaccine‐preventable diseases. However, vaccination coverage in this population is often suboptimal. This retrospective study assessed the vaccination status and vaccine serology of children diagnosed with IBD in a high‐income country with broad vaccine access ...

Elexacaftor–Tezacaftor–Ivacaftor Reduces Revision Sinus Surgery in People With Cystic Fibrosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor (ETI) was associated with a significant decrease in the frequency and rate of endoscopic sinus surgeries in patients with cystic fibrosis. These findings suggest an improvement in CF‐related chronic rhinosinusitis outcomes following ETI and may influence future CF treatment decisions.
