Purpose Of Review: This review aims to comprehensively examine the immune response following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and how its disruption can impact healing and recovery.
Recent Findings: The immune response is now considered a key element in the pathophysiology of TBI, with consequences far beyond the acute phase after injury. A delicate equilibrium is crucial for a healthy recovery.
Article Synopsis
- Corynebacterium spp. are common in the environment and part of human and animal microbiota, but human infections from these bacteria have increased recently, especially with multidrug-resistant strains emerging globally.
- This study aims to present a newly identified species of Corynebacterium from human bone tissue that had been previously misidentified using standard methods.
- Advanced genomic analyses showed significant differences between the newly identified isolates and related species, leading to the conclusion that a new species, named Corynebacterium hiratae sp. nov., has been discovered.
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a public health problem with a high burden in terms of disability and death. Infections are a common complication, with respiratory infections being the most frequent. Most available studies have addressed the impact of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) after TBI; therefore, we aim to characterize the hospital impact of a broader entity, lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs).

Corynebacterium striatum is part of microbiota of skin and nasal mucosa of humans and has been increasingly reported as the etiologic agent of community-acquired and nosocomial diseases. Antimicrobial multidrug-resistant (MDR) C. striatum strains have been increasingly related to various nosocomial diseases and/or outbreaks worldwide, including fatal invasive infections in immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients.

However, few epidemiological studies analyse the risk and protective factors associated with asbestos-related diseases and follow up these conditions in the general population. Pleural mesothelioma, caused by inhalation of asbestos fibres at work, at home or in the environment, is the most representative asbestos-related disease.
