Article Abstract
Invasive bacterial infections are frequent causes of hospitalization among people who use opioids. We evaluated the association between inpatient administration of medication for opioid use disorder with one-year all-cause mortality in patients hospitalized with invasive bacterial infections.

Timely and accurate assessment of wounds during the healing process is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment. Conventional wound dressings lack both real-time monitoring capabilities and active therapeutic functionalities, limiting their effectiveness in dynamic wound environments. Herein, we report our proof-of-concept approach exploring the unique emission properties and antimicrobial activities of carbon nanodots (CNDs) for simultaneous detection and treatment of bacteria.

Purpose Of Review: Plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) enables detection of microbial cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (mcfDNA) in blood without the need for culture or organism-specific primers. Here, we review clinical performance, methodological variability, and real-world application of plasma mNGS for infectious disease diagnosis in immunocompromised hosts (ICHs).
Recent Findings: Plasma mNGS has rapidly gained attention as a novel diagnostic tool for infections in ICHs, offering broad-range pathogen detection from a noninvasive blood sample.

infection is a frequent cause of sepsis in humans, a disease associated with high mortality and without specific intervention. Clumping factor A (ClfA) displayed on the bacterial surface plays a key role in promoting replication during invasive disease. Decades of research have pointed to a wide array of ligands engaged by ClfA.

Unlabelled: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a leading cause of endovascular infections, where interactions with endothelial cells play a critical role in pathogenesis. Gp05, a prophage-encoded protein, has previously been implicated in promoting antibiotic persistence by modulating MRSA cellular physiology and evading neutrophil-mediated killing. In this study, we investigated the role of Gp05 in MRSA-endothelial cell interactions, focusing on its impact on bacterial adhesion, invasion, cytotoxicity, and the host inflammatory response.

Invasive disease caused by type b (Hib) is a major health concern, particularly in children under 5 years of age and vulnerable populations. Use of Hib conjugate vaccines has significantly reduced the incidence of Hib disease. Among these, the polyribosylribitol phosphate-outer membrane protein complex (PRP-OMPC) conjugate has demonstrated uniquely robust immunogenicity in infants compared to PRP conjugated to tetanus toxoid.
