Scientists identify major mechanism behind the transition between chronic and acute bacterial infections

People with weakened immune systems are at constant risk of infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common environmental bacterium, can colonize different body parts, such as the lungs, leading to persistent, chronic infections that can last a lifetime – a common occurrence in people with cystic fibrosis.

Immune resilience promotes longevity and resistance to infections

Researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, working with collaborators in five countries, today revealed that the capacity to resist or recover from infections and other sources of inflammatory stress -; called "immune resilience" -; differs widely among individuals.

Global study provides high-quality data to improve treatment of newborn babies with sepsis

A global observational study, which involved more than 3,200 newborn babies suffering from sepsis in 19 hospitals in 11 countries, has shown that many newborns are dying because the antibiotics used to treat sepsis are losing their effectiveness.

Two bacteria that co-occur with C. difficile as emerging potential threats in planetary health

A new study published in the peer-reviewed OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology identified genes for virulence and antimicrobial resistance in two bacteria that co-occur with C. difficile, suggesting these pathogens as emerging potential threats in planetary health.

Gut bacteria toxins: A hidden trigger for Parkinson's disease?

Gut dysfunction and the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxins contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), leading to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Modulating the gut microbiome and reducing LPS levels may hold potential as treatment strategies for PD.

New tests based on biomarkers may improve diagnosis and treatment of acute kidney injury

Hospital inpatients who develop an acute kidney injury (AKI) generally fare poorly after being discharged, and have few options for effective treatment.
