Article Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is the causative agent of multiple infections, including bacteremia, infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and prosthetic device infections. We report here the first whole-genome sequence for four S. aureus sequence type 398 isolates from clinical cases of osteomyelitis in four goats with a history of orthopedic surgery.

Caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) is a highly conserved serine protease that plays a pivotal role in protein homeostasis and quality control in bacteria, mitochondria of mammalian cells, and plant chloroplasts. As the proteolytic core of the ATP-dependent Clp protease complex, ClpP partners with regulatory ATPases (e.g.

Computational modeling for PPE filtration: Informed by material characterization, microbial penetration, and particle mechanics.

J Occup Environ Hyg

September 2025

Division of Biology, Chemistry, and Materials Science, Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

This work assesses the current characterization framework of single-use personal protective equipment (PPE) per recognized consensus standards and presents a novel quantitative approach to refining characterization of barrier materials and predicting PPE performance. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and image analysis software (Diameter J) were used to examine the microscopic fiber and pore structure of filter layers of surgical N95 filtering facepiece respirators, before and after exposure to chemicals used in decontamination modalities (vaporized hydrogen peroxide or ozone). The effect of porosity on penetration was assessed by bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) testing.

For effective treatment of bacterial infections, it is essential to identify the species causing the infection as early as possible. Current methods typically require hours of overnight culturing of a bacterial sample and a larger quantity of cells to function effectively. This study uses one-hour phase-contrast time-lapses of single-cell bacterial growth collected from microfluidic chip traps, also known as a "mother machine".

Assessing the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among pediatric patients at Kamuzu Central Hospital, Malawi.

J Infect Dev Ctries

August 2025

Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Global Health Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa.

Introduction: Severe bacterial infections cause significant disease burden in developing countries, including Malawi. The situation is compounded by the scarcity of resources, inconsistent availability of antibiotics, and increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Methodology: This was a descriptive retrospective study where we analyzed blood culture results of pediatric patients admitted to Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH), Lilongwe, Malawi.

This study investigates a multifunctional hydrogel system integrating carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in a 3D-printed limonene (LIM) scaffold coated with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). The system allows to enhance wound healing, prevent infections, and monitor the healing progress. CMC is crosslinked with citric acid (CA) to form the hydrogel matrix (CMC-CA), while the 3D-printed limonene (LIM) scaffold is embedded within the hydrogel to provide mechanical support.
