The spectrum of MRSA infection in solid organ transplant patients mainly includes bacteraemia (catheter-related or primary), surgical-site infection and pneumonia. Other sites of infection are less frequent. As mentioned above,S. aureuswas found to be the sixth leading pathogen causing bacteraemia ...
Is commonly caused by 3 kinds of bacteria, i.e., Streptococcuspneumonia, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilusinfluenza. Contagious, and getting close to an infected person can lead to the spread of the disease. Is curable and can be tackled with antibiotics. ...
It may involve an internal organ, as in bacterial pneumonia (infection of the lungs) or bacterial meningitis (infection of the membrane covering the brain and spinal cord). * microorganisms are living organisms that can only be seen using a microscope. Examples of microorganisms are bacteria, ...
Viral infections:The most common cause of a cough is probably the common cold, but many other infections of the upper airways can lead to a cough and require antibiotics to recover. These include bronchitis, sinusitis, and laryngitis. There are also many types of viral pneumonia that cause a...
It is a disease caused by a newly identified coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, discovered in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. It was initially viewed as primarily a respiratory disease, in some cases progressing to viral pneumonia. It is now recognized as a complex, potentially ...
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a contagious pathogen that is known to cause various health issues, such as oral and genital herpes. This virus is classified into two types, namely HSV-1 and HSV-2, with HSV-1 being the more prevalent variant that usually results in oral herpes. It is cha...
This trend, as highlighted in the 33 studies, mirrors findings from Wilczyk-Chrostek et al., who noted the widespread use of empirical therapy to combat ventilator-associated pneumonia [138]. Targeted therapies like vancomycin for MRSA and azithromycin for its anti-inflammatory properties were also...
Furthermore, it has been shown in a murine model of severe pneumonia that the pore-forming activity of Hla potentiates bacterial virulence via activation of the NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in AMs, which stimulates the production of IL-1β and IL-18...
K. pneumoniae strains which are multidrug resistant and hyper-virulent have been observed [24], leading to several illnesses, including meningitis, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, liver abscesses, and septicemia [25]. Its pathogenesis as a procreator of dairy cattle mastitis has been scarcely ...
has effectively controlled brucellosis in the bovine population and reduced its impact on human health [116]. Disease control through vaccination campaigns can be problematic, as some diseases, such as Mycoplasma bovis pneumonia which cannot currently be controlled by vaccines, while others, such as ...
