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 ...
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 ...

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. ...
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 ...
Infante showed how Vaxdyn’s technology can deliver endotoxin-free inactivated whole cell vaccines presenting outer-membrane proteins of different bacteria in the surface, therefore raising immunity against different bacteria with only one immunogen. The KapaVax candidate targets include three of the most worrisome antibiotic-resistant ...

Pre-clinical results have shown that the bacteria exert an anti-inflammatory effect on certain markers associated with itch. Company studies have also shown the potential antimicrobial mechanism of action that contribute to the reduction of pathogenic bacteria infecting the established skin lesions," said Board of Director, Dr. ...

It also proclaimed that antimicrobial resistance threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. “In the United States alone, the CDC reports that at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to ...
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 in healthcare environments, correctional institutions, and other places where many people are in close proximity for an extended period of time. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that approximately one ...
This is because some pathogens, i.e. infectious viruses or bacteria, can infect many different species, which differ in their ability to pass on the disease. ...

HVAC systems can easily become contaminated with microbial growth consisting of mold and bacteria, especially from the use of air conditioning. These microbial contaminants can grow on cooling cools or drain pans that are not visible to the building occupants, but are being blown out through air vents. ...
