Background: Healthcare-associated transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa occurs for people with cystic fibrosis (CF), but CF programs lack a process to monitor incidence rates (IRs). We assessed predictors of incident infections and created a model to determine risk-adjusted IRs for CF programs.Methods: Using the CF Foundation Patient Registry data for all patients from 2012 to 2015, coefficients for variables that predicted IRs were estimated.

Endophthalmitis is a sight-threatening infection and a serious consequence of complications during intraocular surgery or penetrating injury of which Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important etiology. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have evolved as a promising entity for developing diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers due to their involvement in intracellular communication and pathogenesis of diseases. We aimed to characterise the protein cargo of extracellular vesicles, isolated from a murine (C57BL/6) model of P. Read More

Chronic pulmonary infections in those living with cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are promoted by production of alginate by the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Alginate biosynthesis enzymes in P. aeruginosa are regulated by the extracytoplasmic function alternative sigma factor σ either by mutation in mucA or in response to envelope stress. Read More

Biofilm development in P. aeruginosa is regulated by its quorum sensing (QS) systems. It has three major QS systems: LasI/R, RhlI/R, and PQS/MvfR. Read More

Objective: Microbial infections and mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, with 627 k deaths in 2020, are still major public health challenges.Results: This study prepared nanoemulsion and nanogel containing Artemisia dracunculus essential oil. ATR-FTIR analysis (Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transform InfraRed) confirmed the successful loading of the essential oil in nanoemulsion and nanogel. Read More
