was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of standalone alpha-defensin (AD) testing of antibiotic spacers during two stage exchange, and to determine if the addition of AD testing to other commonly utilized laboratory tests improves the ability to detect persistent infection in an antibiotic spacer...
And why is the scientific community so fascinated by the potential applications of this gene-editing technology? Starting with its definition, we explain how this technology harnesses an ancient bacteria-based defense system — and how it will impact the world around us today....
BACTERIOSTATIC An antibiotic that inhibits the growth of a bacterial population. microarrays could test several parameters simultane- ously (for example, testing for antigens and different classes of antibody), thus allowing pathology-driven testing instead of the pathogen-driven testing that is carried...
a prominent symptom is wheezing, a whistling noise in the chest during breathing. Treatments for asthma in older children might include controller medications that are taken using nebulizers, spacers, or inhalers. Your child’s healthcare provider can make a diagnosis...
(C) An AP radiograph of the left distal femur 6 months after reconstruction shows a temporary antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer that replaced the original APC owing to a deep infection. (D) Three years postoperatively, the patient’s AP radiograph of the left distal femur is shown. The ...

3.3. Side Effects of Antibiotic Therapy A further aspect when choosing an appropriate antimicrobial agent is the consideration of possible adverse events associated with the respective drugs, especially in the setting of required long-term antimicrobial therapy. Thereby, patient-related factors such as ...
The assessment and control of microbial contamination in health care facilities is presently a mandatory and vital part of strategies to prevent and control hospital-acquired infections. This study aims to assess the bioburden with two passive sampling methods (30 ventilations grids swabs and 16 elect...
Adaptation of mycoplasmas to antimicrobial agents: Acholeplasma laidlawii extracellular vesicles mediate the export of ciprofloxacin and a mutant gene related to the antibiotic target Curcumin was found to induce bacterial FtsZ assembly and inhibit bacterial cytokinesis and even interrupt quorum sensing (QS...
(2) What is the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative aspirations performed on hips with antibiotic cement spacers using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria, stratified by saline and nonlavage? (3) For hips with antibiotic spacers, what are the optimal thresholds for synovial fluid...
