Swiss consensus recommendations on urinary tract infections in children

The kidneys and the urinary tract are a common source of infection in children of all ages, especially infants and young children. The main risk factors for sequelae after urinary tract infections (UTI) are congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and bladder-bowel dysfunction. UTI should be considered in every child with fever without a source. The differentiation between...

Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for prolonged SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding in lower respiratory tract samples of critically ill patients

The length of time a critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient remains infectious and should therefore be isolated remains unknown. This prospective study was undertaken in critically ill patients to evaluate the reliability of single negative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in lower tracheal aspirates (LTA) in predicting a second negative test and to analyze...

A novel study on the inhibitory effect of marine macroalgal extracts on hyphal growth and biofilm formation of candidemia isolates

El-Zawawy, Nessma A. ; El-Shenody, Rania A. ; Ali, Sameh S. ; El-Shetehy, Mohamed

In: Scientific Reports, 2020, vol. 10, no. 1, p. 9339

Biofilm formation and hyphal growth are considered to be the most serious virulence factors of Candida species in blood causing candidemia infections, which are difficult to treat due to the spread of resistant Candida isolates to most antifungal drugs. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effect of different types and concentrations of selected macroalgal extracts from Cladostephus...

Molecular signatures of immunity and immunogenicity in infection and vaccination

Haks, Mariëlle C. ; Bottazzi, Barbara ; Cecchinato, Valentina ; De Gregorio, Corinne ; Del Giudice, Giuseppe ; Kaufmann, Stefan H. E. ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Lewis, David J.

Vaccinology aims to understand what factors drive vaccine-induced immunity and protection. For many vaccines, however, the mechanisms underlying immunity and protection remain incompletely characterized at best, and except for neutralizing antibodies induced by viral vaccines, few correlates of protection exist. Recent omics and systems biology big data platforms have yielded valuable...

Antigen-specific Th17 cells are primed by distinct and complementary dendritic cell subsets in oropharyngeal candidiasis

Trautwein-Weidner, Kerstin ; Gladiator, André ; Kirchner, Florian R. ; Becattini, Simone ; Rülicke, Thomas ; Sallusto, Federica ; LeibundGut-Landmann, Salomé

In: PLoS pathogens, 2015, vol. 11, no. 10, p. e1005164

Candida spp. can cause severe and chronic mucocutaneous and systemic infections in immunocompromised individuals. Protection from mucocutaneous candidiasis depends on T helper cells, in particular those secreting IL-17. The events regulating T cell activation and differentiation toward effector fates in response to fungal invasion in different tissues are poorly understood. Here we generated...
