#infections — Public Fediverse posts

#Children have borne the brunt of the #infections, making up >70% of confirmed cases. >80 children & adolescents have been hospitalized this year for complications like #pneumonia, which leaves patients gasping for air, & #brain swelling, which can cause lasting damage, including #blindness, #deafness & intellectual #disabilities. (There are NO treatments for #measles, though researchers are trying to develop them.)

📺 The #IHICallDays kick off on Monday with info sessions on IHI call 11 - topic 2 on the links between #infections and non-communicable diseases, and topic 3 on AI-powered signal detection in #pharmacovigilance.
💬 The info sessions are your chance to learn more about the topic and ask questions directly to the topic writers!

#Circulation of #WNV and #Usutu Virus in #Birds in #Germany, 2021 and 2022. http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2024.08.28.610071v1?rss=1

#USUV circulates enzootically nationwide. Emergence of WNV at several new locations in Germany with a potential increase in #human #infections may be imminent. In this context, wild bird monitoring serves as a capable early-warning system in a One Health setting.

Experimental #antibiotic kills deadly #superbug, opens whole new class of #drugs
Relatively large molecule clogs a transport system, leading to lethal toxicity. In this case, the new #drug—dubbed #zosurabalpin—fights off the #GramNegative #bacterium carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, aka CRAB. Though it may sound obscure, it's an opportunistic, invasive #bacteria that often strikes hospitalized and critically ill patients, causing deadly #infections worldwide. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/01/experimental-antibiotic-reveals-entirely-new-way-to-kill-drug-resistant-bacteria/

''Toutefois, le niveau de ces #infections reste sans précédent depuis plusieurs années et la bactérie #mycoplasma pneumoniae, à laquelle sont majoritairement attribuées ces #pneumopathies, continue à être fréquemment détectée lorsque des tests sont réalisés auprès des patients.''

#War in #Ukraine fuels ‘alarming increase’ in #hospital #superbug #infections, report warns, The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/ukraine-war-superbug-infections-antimicrobial-resistance/

In a step forward for #genetic #engineering and synthetic #biology, researchers have modified a strain of #Escherichia #coli #bacteria to be #immune to natural #viral #infections while also minimizing the potential for the bacteria or their modified #genes to escape into the wild.
