Antibiotic-resistant bacteria present an emerging challenge to human health. Their prevalence has been increasing across the globe due in part liberal use of antibiotics that pressured them develop resistance. Those acquire mobile genetic elements are especially concerning because those plasmids may be shared readily with other microbes can then also become antibiotic resistant. Serious infections have recently related contamination preservative-free eyedrops extensively drug-resistant (XDR)...
ABSTRACT The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) has necessitated the development alternative therapies to deal with this global threat. Bacteriophages (viruses that target bacteria) kill ARB are one such alternative. Although phages have been used clinically for decades inconsistent results, a number recent advances in phage selection, propagation, and purification enabled reevaluation their utility contemporary clinical medicine. In most therapy cases, administered combination...
To the Editor: COVID-19 came barreling toward medical education in early 2020, knocking over pillars that supported clinical education, and leaving hordes of trainees without traditional we had come to know expect. Virtual delivery curriculum became a demand, not request, with Association American Medical Colleges strongly suggesting against patient contact for students on March 17, 2020. This announcement left many wonder how their future experiences would be shaped by this pandemic. At...
Urine cultures are among the highest-volume tests in clinical microbiology laboratories and usually require considerable manual labor to perform. We evaluated APAS Independence automated plate reader system compared it our standard of care (SOC) for processing urine cultures. The device provides image interpretation culture growth sorts those images that further evaluation. examined 1,519 specimens over a 4-month period interpretations SOC. found 72 total (4.74%) had discrepancies, where...

Abstract Background Pulmonary calcification (PC) is a rare clinical entity observed following liver transplantation (LT). Most often identified in adults or patients with concomitant renal failure, PC rarely reported children. While the course of largely benign, cases progressive respiratory failure and death have been reported. Additionally, may mimic several other disease processes making diagnosis management challenging. Currently, little regarding diagnosis, management, long‐term...
As the field of education was adapting to virtual learning during COVID-19 pandemic, a need quickly emerged for course prepare medical students future clinical practice. This call action answered by creating an innovative Fundamentals at Indiana University School Medicine (IUSM). group student leaders IUSM, we developed this online in order support our fellow and community.The study examined educational effects completing course.

Fast and accurate diagnosis of bloodstream infection is necessary to inform treatment decisions for septic patients, who face hourly increases in mortality risk. Blood culture remains the gold standard test but typically requires ∼15 hours detect presence a pathogen. Here, we assess potential universal digital high-resolution melt (U-dHRM) analysis accomplish faster broad-based bacterial detection, load quantification, species-level identification directly from whole blood. Analytical...
