Immune Cells Linked to Malaria-Induced Anemia Through Autoantibody Production
Malaria is still a major global health threat with over 200 million new infections and around 400,000 deaths per year. Anemia is a common complication associated with malaria that contributes significantly to the great morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. More...28 Nov 2019
Mycobacterium Infection Found in Gastric Patients’ Stomachs
Development of gastric diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer is often associated with several biotic and abiotic factors. Helicobacter pylori infection is such a well-known biotic factor. However, not all H. pylori-infected individuals develop gastric diseases and not all individuals with gastric diseases are infected with H. pylori. More...26 Nov 2019
Crohn's Disease-Associated Bacteria Tolerate Antibiotics
Crohn's disease is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome. In particular, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have been implicated in the disease. More...26 Nov 2019
Routine Blood Parameters Predict Invasive Aspergillosis Prognosis
Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems, e.g. those undergoing bone marrow transplantation. Symptoms include fever, chills, shock, delirium, seizures, and blood clots. More...19 Nov 2019
Phoenix CPO Test Evaluated for Detection of Carbapenemase Producers
The use of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) to identify rapidly Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms (CPO) from samples such as positive blood culture and stools is an alternative approach to establish rapidly an optimal empirical antibiotic therapy or for infectious control management. More...14 Nov 2019
Rapid DNA Flow Technology Platform Detects Tick-Borne Bacterial Pathogens
Ticks are the most important vectors for infectious diseases in the northern hemisphere and second only after mosquitos worldwide. As a result, there is an increasing public health interest in tick-borne pathogens. More...13 Nov 2019
