Prolonged Prophylactic Antibiotics Based on Preoperative Bile Culture Reduce Surgical Site Infections After Pancreaticoduodenectomy Following Preoperative Biliary Drainage: A Propensity‐Matched Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The optimum duration of prophylactic antibiotics after pancreaticoduodenectomy following preoperative biliary drainage to prevent surgical site infections remains controversial. We evaluate whether a prolonged course of prophylactic antibiotics reduces surgical site infection after pancreaticoduodenectomy following biliary drainage ...

The crystal structure of Pneumolysin at 2.0 Å resolution reveals the molecular packing of the pre-pore complex [PDF]

, 2015
Pneumolysin is a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC) and virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae. It kills cells by forming pores assembled from oligomeric rings in cholesterol-containing membranes.

Identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae

International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2006
Objectives: Streptococcus pneumoniae, pneumococcus, is an importanthuman pathogen that causes both serious invasive infections, suchas septicaemia, meningitis and pneumonia, as well as mild upper respiratoryinfections. It also belongs to the normal nasopharyngeal microbialflora. The purpose of this study was to compare bacteriologicalphenotypic methods

Molecular dynamics of the host response to Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia in baboons

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Using an established, clinically relevant nonhuman primate model of S. pneumoniae pneumonia, this study aims to identify novel potential molecular diagnostic and therapeutic targets using peripheral blood bulk transcriptomic, unbiased proteomic, and cytokine measurements. The constructed models were highly accurate in classifying bacterial pneumonia in

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 ...

Dr. Hans Kohn and the political takeover of the Berlin Medical Society by the National Socialist regime in 1933

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract To solidify their power over society, totalitarian regimes will usually eliminate any dissent, any perceived threats early on. These threats include not only political enemies but also educated and independent segments of society, such as professional associations.
