The mouse Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia model shows better anti-infection results with platelet membrane-coated nanoparticles than free vancomycin while not exhibiting any clear toxicity. ...
However, excessive TREM1 activation can lead to immunopathology and tissue damage, as observed in conditions like pneumonia and tuberculosis. Thus, understanding the balance between beneficial and detrimental effects of TREM1 in infectious diseases is imperative for devising therapeutic interventions. ...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have identified these common types of medical device-associated HAIs: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections Central line-associated bloodstream infections Surgical site infection Ventilator-associated pneumonia Also, improperly sanitized medical devices can spread bacteria and viruses between patients and ...
Epigenetic alterations induced by microbial invasion Numerous studies have exhibited that specific pathogens (Helicobacter pylori, Streptococcus bovis, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Campylobacter rectus, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis virus, human papillomavirus, polyomavirus, etc.) may result in the epigenetic variations of the host, leading to the onset and progression of certain ...
Colistin is an antibiotic used to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections, including pneumonia. Isolated in 1949 in Japan from a fermented culture of Paenibacillus polymyxa, colistin was first used clinically in 1959 under the trade name Cortisporin®. ...
While bacterial infections are the primary culprits, any other infection such as from pneumonia or influenza may lead to sepsis if not appropriately treated. ...

Increases in the number of patients with influenza, coronavirus, upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), and pneumonia is anticipated to fuel the growth of the global respiratory antiviral treatment market from 2020 to 2030. ...
At the moment when the novel coronavirus is raging around the world, the mortality rate of the novel coronavirus pneumonia in patients with diabetes is significantly higher than that in patients without diabetes. ...
Abera’s vaccine delivery platform works as a plug-and-play system where known or novel antigens can be engineered onto our delivery platform to create effective, multivalent vaccines that are cost-effective and fast to produce. We actively work together with academia and industry to enable the use of our vaccine delivery platform in design and development of new vaccines. Many of these ...
Over a six-year period prior to his stay at Duke University Hospital, he experienced bouts with pneumonia, congestive heart failure, the failure of several heart pumping devices, two strokes and daily shortness of breath. ...
In many developing countries throughout the world, infant and child mortality rates are disturbingly high, and acute respiratory infections— in particular pneumonia—are a leading cause of death. As a result, preventing pneumonia is a priority, and the World Health Organization (WHO) and other healthcare institutions are studying a number of vaccines ...
PANDAS has been expanded to involve other diseases (Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Burkholderia spongiformis, Borna disease virus, and toxoplasmosis gondii) in recent years, and the name pediatric acute onset childhood neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) has been coined. ...
