Triple-valve endocarditis due to infection.

is an environmental organism often considered a contaminant when isolated from patient specimens due to its rare association with human disease. Here we report a case of triple valve endocarditis caused by infection. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first documented case of endocarditis caused by this bacterium.

Update in Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Aging.

Effective and consistent antiretroviral therapy has enabled people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PWH) to survive longer than previously encountered earlier in the epidemic. Consequently, PWH are subject to the struggles and clinical conditions typically associated with aging. However, the aging process in PWH is not the same as for those who do not have HIV.

Comparison of a novel aluminum lactate-based with an aluminum chloride-based antiperspirant in excessive axillary and inguinal perspiration: first randomized controlled trial.

Background: Topical aluminum salts are a commonly used remedy for excessive axillary perspiration. To the contrary, less is known about their anhidrotic potential in the groin. This study sought to compare the anhidrotic efficacy and tolerability of an aluminum chloride-based antiperspirant to an innovative aluminum lactate-based antiperspirant in healthy study participants presenting with excessive axillary and inguinal perspiration.

Complete Genome Sequence of Providencia stuartii CMC-4104, Isolated from a Human Splenic Abscess, Containing Multiple Copies of NDM-1 and PER-1 Carbapenem Resistance Genes.

We report the complete genome sequence of a clinical isolate of Providencia stuartii strain CMC-4104, isolated from a splenic abscess. Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) and Illumina sequencing reads were assembled using Geneious to generate a 4,504,925-bp circular chromosome containing multiple copies of the NDM-1 and PER-1 genes in a genomic resistance island.
