Article Abstract
Background: bacteremia (SAB) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with a high risk of metastatic infections. Understanding the timing and distribution of metastatic infections based on the primary infection focus is crucial for effective management. We aimed to identify patterns that could guide clinicians in prioritizing surveillance and interventions for patients at high risk of metastatic infection.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 1725 patients diagnosed with SAB. We assessed the incidence and distribution of metastatic infections within the cohort, stratifying the data by the timing postdiagnosis and the primary infection focus.
Results: In the cohort of 1725 patients, 289 (16.7%) experienced a total of 439 metastatic infection events within the 90-day follow-up period. The majority of metastatic infections (approximately 85%) occurred within the first 7 days following diagnosis. The incidence of metastatic infections varied significantly with the primary focus of SAB, being highest in patients with endocarditis at 73.4%. The lung was the most frequent metastatic site (23.7%), followed by bones and joints (16.8%) and the central nervous system (12.3%). The distribution of metastatic sites significantly differed according to the primary infection focus.
Conclusions: Our study findings provide essential insights into the risk and distribution of metastatic infections in patients with SAB, highlighting the critical role of the timing and primary infection focus. These findings enable healthcare professionals to adopt a more proactive and targeted approach to managing patients with SAB.

Background: Manual wiping of surfaces, a primary method in preventing hospital acquired infections, can vary significantly in its ability to eliminate bacteria and prevent cross-contamination.
Methods: Four liquid-based cleaning and disinfecting formulations comprised of hydrogen peroxide (HP), ethoxylated alcohol (EA), quaternary ammonium compounds (Quat and Quat2), or a water-based control were evaluated for their bactericidal efficacy in combination with three different wiping materials: microfiber, polypropylene, and cotton. Each chemistry and wipe combination were evaluated for its ability to reduce microbial contamination on a hard, non-porous surface measuring one meter.
A 3-month clofazimine-rifapentine-containing regimen for drug-susceptible tuberculosis versus standard of care (Clo-Fast): a randomised, open-label, phase 2c clinical trial.

Background: Based on results from preclinical and clinical studies, a five-drug combination of isoniazid, rifapentine, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and clofazimine was identified with treatment shortening potential for drug-susceptible tuberculosis; the Clo-Fast trial aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of this regimen. We compared 3 months of isoniazid, rifapentine, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and clofazimine, administered with a clofazimine loading dose, to the standard 6 month regimen of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol in drug-susceptible tuberculosis.
Methods: Clo-Fast was a phase 2c open-label trial recruiting participants at six sites in five countries.

Salicylic acid (SA), a phenolic-derived secondary metabolite, serves as a critical signaling molecule in plant defense mechanisms. Contemporary phytochemical studies have identified two distinct biosynthetic pathways for SA production in plants: the isochorismate synthase (ICS)-mediated pathway and the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL)-dependent pathway. However, the enzymes participating in SA biosynthesis in soybean remain largely unknown.

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions are a key component of parenteral nutrition, and their fatty acid compositions may influence immune responses and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 compared clinical outcomes of hospitalized non-critical care patients receiving parenteral nutrition with either mixed oil or soybean oil lipid emulsions for at least 48 h. The primary outcome was a composite of the presence of pneumonia, urinary tract infection, or an intra-abdominal collection diagnosed within 14 days of initiating parenteral nutrition.
