Imaging characterizes the extent and severity of the disease, aids in guiding diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, monitors response to treatment, and demonstrates complications. This review highlights the characteristic imaging manifestations of bacterial and viral infections in the brain....
Escherichia Coli, orE. colifor short, have found a way to invade the brain — a bacterial infection commonly known as meningitis — by interacting with a protein located in the surface of cells forming the blood–brain barrier called GRP94. “Previously, we constructed abiomimetic brain-targeted...
Bacterial Infections Abstract In Osler’s time, bacterial pneumonia was a dreaded event, so important that he borrowed John Bunyan’s characterization of tuberculosis and anointed the pneumococcus, as the prime pathogen, “Captain of the men of death”1.One hundred years later much has changed, b...
What is bacterial overgrowth in the intestines? What causes bacterial infection in the spine? What causes gram negative bacterial infections? What is acute disease? The term infection refers to what? What is bacterial culture in food? What causes bacterial infection in the brain?
Cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signalling systems (CBASS) protect prokaryotes from viral (phage) attack through the production of cyclic oligonucleotides, which activate effector proteins that trigger the death of the infected host1,2. How bacter
Bilayer sol-gel system for local prevention in prosthetic joint infections and osteointegration improvement Prosthetic joint infection is a severe complication of arthroplasties, requiring effective prevention and osteoinduction strategies. Here, a bilayer coating system with antibiotics for infection prevention...
Six experts were selected on the basis of their personal curricula to take part in the GISIG working group on central nervous system (CNS) infections. Among CNS infections the panel chose to consider the brain abscess. Subsequently, during two workshop meetings held in Milan, Italy, the panel...
The research found that the bacteria Klebsiellapneumoniae—a common bacteria notorious for causing hospital-acquired infections—can migrate from the gut into the bloodstream and eventually into the brain. Thisbacterial invasionmay lead to increased inflammation in the brain and impair cognitive functions,...
Bacterial infections of the brain and neurodegenerative diseases represent two pathologies that are commonly considered far away from each other. "The article sheds light on the relationship betweeninfectious diseases, in particular bacterial meningitis, and dementia. In fact, many molecular processes, lik...
Latent infections, which may not cause symptoms at first but can reactivate over a period of months or years Most importantly, bacterial and viral infections can cause mild, moderate, and severe diseases. Bacterial and viral infections in the past ...
