Streptococcus pyogenes-purpura fulminans as an invasive form of group A streptococcal infection

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2018
Background Streptococcus pyogenes is an uncommon pathogen of purpura fulminans, and the pathogenesis of S. pyogenes-purpura fulminans remains unclear because of paucity of cases. We reported a pediatric case of S.

Divergent Paths: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Implications in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two common cutaneous chronic inflammatory diseases. Although they share similar immunological mechanisms, their clinical implications in the patient are different. This review compares both diseases from different points of view such as genetics, natural history, triggers of disease, and skin barrier defects

Streptococcus pyogenesprimary peritonitis [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2018
Streptococcus pyogenes, a Gram-positive bacterium, is a rare cause of primary peritonitis. Diagnosed on imaging and with positive growth in blood cultures, a case of primary peritonitis caused byS. pyogenesis discussed here, with a brief literature review, and used to discuss several key principles of antibiotic use, including selection of antibiotic ...

Impact of Gentamicin‐Impregnated Collagen Sponge on the Incidence of Access Related Infections After Full‐Support Microaxial Flow Pump Therapy

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Local application of gentamicin for wound closure after full‐support microaxial flow pump therapy. ABSTRACT Background Surgically implanted microaxial flow pumps (mAFP) are increasingly used for cardiogenic shock treatment. Standard mAFP explantation is performed bedside with a shortening of the vascular prosthesis, which may represent a potential ...

Streptococcus pyogenes Escapes from Autophagy [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2013
Autophagy is important for innate defense against intracellular bacteria, such as Group A Streptococcus (GAS). In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Barnett et al. (2013) demonstrate that the globally disseminated serotype M1T1 clone of GAS can evade autophagy via streptococcal cysteine protease SpeB-mediated degradation of ubiquitin-LC3 adaptor ...

Parental Socio‐Economic Factors and the Risk of Invasive Bacterial Infections in Children: A Register‐Based Finnish Study

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Little is known about how socio‐economic factors influence severe childhood bacterial infections. We explored whether parental socio‐economic status correlates with the risk of invasive bacterial infections in the offspring. Methods Data on children < 16 years with community‐acquired blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture–positive bacterial ...
