Article Abstract

Antibiotic exposure at the beginning of life can lead to increased antimicrobial resistance and perturbations of the developing microbiome. Early-life microbiome disruption increases the risks of developing chronic diseases later in life. Fear of missing evolving neonatal sepsis is the key driver for antibiotic overtreatment early in life. Bias (a systemic deviation towards overtreatment) and noise (a random scatter) affect the decision-making process. In this perspective, we advocate for a factual approach quantifying the burden of treatment in relation to the burden of disease balancing antimicrobial stewardship and effective sepsis management.

Background: Most countries have endorsed a national action plan (NAP) on antimicrobial resistance. We previously used a governance framework to assess NAPs on antimicrobial resistance available for the period of 2020-21 from 114 countries, finding substantial variation worldwide in the commitment of resources to address an escalating global health challenge. We sought to expand and advance this analysis to include the NAPs of more low-income and middle-income countries, to cover the period of 2021-22, and to examine the strength of NAPs to address antimicrobial resistance.

Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) are increasingly subject to global regulatory restrictions and consumer pressure, driving the poultry industry toward antibiotic-free production systems. This shift has accelerated the search for effective alternatives, including innovative microbial additives, organic acids, phytogenics, and other bioactive compounds capable of supporting digestive function and enhancing immune competence in poultry. The present study reported the isolation and characterization of a novel Bacillus velezensis strain, BV-OLS1101, possessing robust probiotic attributes and a distinctive capacity to produce a serine protease subtilisin.

Paroxetine attenuates sepsis by preserving the expression of the G protein-coupled chemokine receptor CXCR2 on neutrophils.

Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, is associated with impaired neutrophil migration to the infectious focus owing to G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK2)-dependent CXCR2 internalization. In the present study, we investigated whether paroxetine, an antidepressant that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of drugs and that is also identified as a GRK2 inhibitor, can improve neutrophil recruitment in the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis model. Moderate (mCLP) and severe (sCLP) polymicrobial peritonitis were induced in C57BL/6 mice.

Antibiotic resistance is the never-ending war among medical researchers and microbial life forms. The extensive evolving potential of the microorganisms, in combination with improper usage, storage and disposal of the marketed antibiotics generated from natural or artificial sources, always calls for the need for novel antimicrobial agents with different modes of action. In this project, azo-oxime complexes of iron and manganese (seven in total) have been applied to wild multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacterial strains (isolated from sewage water of hospital).

Background: Myocarditis secondary to Listeria monocytogenes is rare but life-threatening.

Case Summary: A 54-year-old woman with a prior history of systemic lupus erythematous on immunosuppression presented with chest pain and fever. Troponin and C-reactive protein levels were elevated, and an electrocardiogram showed T-wave inversion.
