Abstract Lower respiratory tract infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) are a leading cause of death globally. Here we investigate the bronchial epithelial cellular response to Spn infection on a transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolic level. We found the NAD+ salvage pathway to be dysregulated upon infection in a cell line model, primary human lung tissue […]
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CREs) are a dominant threat to patient health in healthcare settings worldwide. CRE strains consistently have limited therapeutic options, often associated with increased toxicities, and require prolonged treatment, leading to a higher cost burden than carbapenem-susceptible strains [9]. In this study, 61.9% of carbapenem-resistant isolates were K. pneumoniae. Compared to each other, 38.1% […]

According to a recent study led by scientists at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, SARS-CoV-2 accounted for 1 in 6 occurrences of sepsis over the first 33 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the importance of viral sepsis. The end of Sepsis Awareness Month, as well as the publishing of the report, serve as […]
Antibiotics treat infections caused by bacteria — but bacteria can evolve to resist these essential drugs. Over time, the misuse of antibiotics has rapidly accelerated the spread of such resistant germs, and widely used antibiotics are becoming less effective. So until alternative drugs to antibiotics are developed, how can we slow the rise of bacterial […]
