The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports there are an estimated 450,000 cases of shigellosis, an infection caused by Shigella bacteria, in the United States each year. ...
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) describes enterococci as part of the normal flora in the intestinal tract and also a common cause of nosocomial infections. The bacteria can also often found in the natural environment, in soil and water. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns these bacteria are constantly ...
This occurs when people nearby breathe in the bacteria and then become infected. This is why transmission can be a significant risk in healthcare environments and other places where many people share the same space for extended periods of time. ...
CDC reported that this fungus poses a unique challenge to public health because it can cause invasive and often deadly infections that can be resistant to multiple antifungal drugs, and that it is particularly concerning because it can spread to other patients. ...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi Ondine’s nonantibiotic photodisinfection technology has been proven in Canadian hospitals to kill pathogens helping to generate 84% reduction of postoperative infection ...
About SER-155 SER-155, an oral consortium of cultivated bacteria, is a microbiome therapeutic candidate in clinical development. SER-155 is designed using microbiome biomarker data from human clinical data, human cell-based assays, and in vivo disease models, with the aim to decrease infection and translocation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria ...
The trial demonstrates that using Unyvero HPN panel in hospitalized pneumonia patients for the examination of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in combination with antibiotic stewardship decreases the duration of inappropriate antibiotic therapy of hospitalized patients with pneumonia at risk for Gram-negative bacteria and supports antibiotic de-escalation in 66% of patients. In this ...
Through its unique bacteriophage discovery, synthetic biology, and manufacturing platform, Locus is developing two innovative categories of biotherapeutics to address significant unmet medical needs: precision CRISPR-enhanced bacteriophage (crPhage®) products to fight deadly infections, including those caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria; and engineered ...

About Pneumococcal Disease Pneumococcal disease (PD) is an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) bacteria. It can result in IPD, including meningitis and bacteremia, and non-invasive PD, including pneumonia, otitis media and sinusitis. ...
This occurs when people nearby breathe in the bacteria and then become infected. This is why the transmission of tuberculosis can be a significant risk factor in healthcare environments, correctional institutions, and other places where many people are in close proximity for an extended period of time. ...
Wounds at Higher Risk to Become Infected Some types of wounds have a higher risk of developing an infection than others. ...
About Pneumococcal Disease Pneumococcal disease (PD) is an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) bacteria. It can result in IPD, including meningitis and bacteremia, and non-invasive PD, including pneumonia, otitis media and sinusitis. ...
As new coronavirus variants continue to mutate and spread, the growth in demand for infection prevention solutions using UV-C light is projected to reach $18.94 billion by 2030, witnessing an annual growth rate of 59.7% from 2021 to 2030. Further fueling the demand is the rise in hospital acquired infections (HAIs) that globally cause more fatalities due to the ...

The gut microbiome includes a huge number of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and enteroviruses that colonize the gut. At present, most of the research on gut microbes focuses on the study of bacteria, and with the deepening of research, the number and types of enteroviruses and their impact on human health and disease have received more and more attention. ...
The GRAM paper is the most comprehensive study about the global incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The relevance of this study is that finally gives a clear face, based on data, to the AMR crisis. ...
About Pneumococcal Disease Pneumococcal disease (PD) is an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) bacteria. It can result in invasive PD (IPD), including meningitis and bacteremia, and non-invasive PD, including pneumonia, otitis media and sinusitis. ...
Whole transcriptome sequencing has a wide range of applications, such as growth and development regulation (including animal metamorphosis, plant flowering, fruit development, etc.), environmental adaptation mechanisms (including drought, salt tolerance, disease resistance, etc.), immune interaction (including bacteria, fungus, virus infection). The content of ...
Increasing and incorrect antibiotic use leads to antibiotic-resistant bacteria that become more difficult and costly to treat, and more deadly. Today, an estimated 30 percent of antibiotics are inappropriately prescribed to patients because their infections are not obviously bacterial or viral in origin.1 In addition, almost three million Americans each year ...
