Analysis of risk factors, pathogenic bacteria of maternal sepsis in term pregnant women with positive blood culture during hospitalization The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk factors, pathogenic bacteria and drug sensitivity of maternal sepsis, and provide evidence for clinica...

Although the term bacteria traditionally included all prokaryotes, the scientific classification changed after the discovery in the 1990s that prokaryotes consist of two very different groups of organisms that evolved independently from an ancient common ancestor. These evolutionary domains are called ...
spanning bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Bacteria, the most-studied kingdom in this context, are suggested by these studies to localize within cancer cells, immune cells and other tumor microenvironment cell types, where they are postulated to impact multiple cancer-related functions. Herein, we ...
Bacteria as anti-cancer agents through amplification Human immunity interacts with the host as one of the pathogenic factors or natural flora strengthens the host's immune system in interaction with pathogenic bacteria [195]. TheSalmonella typhimuriumstrain ΔppGpp impedes the signals that are sent, ...
Since probiotics can colonize the gastrointestinal tract and exert their beneficial effect long term, without requiring continuous medical intervention, they have been used for a century to treat a variety of mucosal surface infections (gut, vagina), but their use decreased after the appearance of ...
6and therefore remains an urgent medical challenge. Timely administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy is critical to avoiding its progression. A retrospective analysis study based on a large dataset showed that there was a linear increase in the risk of mortality for each hour delay in ...
Rapid advances in synthetic biology are driving the development of genetically engineered microbes as therapeutic agents for a multitude of human diseases, including cancer. The immunosuppressive microenvironment of solid tumors, in particular, creates a favorable niche for systemically administered bacteria ...
in a Chinese medical text from 400bce. SeveralGreekwriters, includingGalen(2nd–3rd centuryce), described a disease that may have been leprosy, though the Greeks did not apply to this disease the termlepra(“scaly”), from which the modern termleprosyis derived; instead, they referred to it...
The term staphylococcus, generally used for all the species, refers to the cells’ habit of aggregating in grapelike clusters. Staphylococci are microbiologically characterized as gram-positive (in young cultures), non-spore-forming, nonmotile, facultative anaerobes (not requiring oxygen). Of ...
Furthermore, biofilms are associated with persistent and severe infections because of their ability to colonize medical devices and implants. Indeed, biofilm structures offer protection against hostile environments and, more worryingly, against antibiotic treatments. The biofilm architecture depends on the ...
