Analysis of T cell repertoires of CD45RO CD4 T cells in cohorts of patients with bullous pemphigoid: A pilot study.

Autoimmune diseases develop over years - starting from a subclinical phenotype to clinically manifest autoimmune disease. The factors that drive this transition are ill-defined. To predict the turning point towards clinical disease and to intervene in the progress of autoimmune-mediated dysfunction, the establishment of new biomarkers is needed.

Novel Therapeutics for the Treatment of Burn Infection.

Burn injury continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and death, with infectious complications being the primary cause of death. Patients are susceptible to overwhelming infection secondary to both the physical breakdown of the skin and mucosal barrier and the immune dysfunction that accompanies the inflammatory response to a major burn. With resistance to traditional antibiosis looming as a serious threat to patient outcome, advancement in the treatment of burn infections is imperative.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Isolate Dermabacter hominis 1368.

Dermabacter hominis is a common colonizer of the healthy human skin and is rarely detected as an opportunistic human pathogen. The genome sequence of the multidrug-resistant D. hominis strain 1368, isolated from blood cultures of a pyelonephritis patient, provides insights into the repertoire of antibiotic resistance genes.

Complete Genome Sequence of Corynebacterium falsenii DSM 44353 To Study the Evolution of Corynebacterium Cluster 3 Species.

Corynebacterium falsenii is a member of the natural microflora of wild and domesticated birds and is rarely detected in human clinical specimens. The chromosomal sequence of the type strain C. falsenii DSM 44353 comprises 2,677,607 bp and provides detailed insights into the evolution of Corynebacterium species assigned to the highly diverse cluster 3.
