This is the first report of death due to gross encrustations of the entire upper urinary tract and bladder by Corynebacterium group D2 in a man with no history of renal transplantation or prolonged catheterizations. This case demonstrates that debilitated patients with a prior endoscopic procedure are at risk for this disease process. Prolonged treatment with appropriate antibiotics, acidification of the urine, and removal of crusts is essential for proper management.

The association of increased pre- and postnatal NO and PM exposure with the infant nasal microbiome composition and respiratory symptoms.
Environ Res
December 2024
University Children's Hospital Basel UKBB, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland. Electronic address:
Background: Little is known about the mediating role of nasal microbiome on the association between pre- and postnatal air pollution exposure and subsequent respiratory morbidity in infancy. We aimed to examine the impact of air pollution on microbiome and respiratory symptoms, and whether microbiome mediates the association between air pollution and symptoms.
Methods: Nasal swabs from 270 infants in the prospective Basel-Bern Infant Lung Development cohort were analyzed by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing.
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing reveals the influence of artisanal dairy environments on the microbiomes, quality, and safety of Idiazabal, a raw ewe milk PDO cheese.

Background: Numerous studies have highlighted the impact of bacterial communities on the quality and safety of raw ewe milk-derived cheeses. Despite reported differences in the microbiota among cheese types and even producers, to the best of our knowledge, no study has comprehensively assessed all potential microbial sources and their contributions to any raw ewe milk-derived cheese, which could suppose great potential for benefits from research in this area. Here, using the Protected Designation of Origin Idiazabal cheese as an example, the impact of the environment and practices of artisanal dairies (including herd feed, teat skin, dairy surfaces, and ingredients) on the microbiomes of the associated raw milk, whey, and derived cheeses was examined through shotgun metagenomic sequencing.

Selenium (Se) is a trace element that is essential for health. Organic Se created by Se-enriched microorganisms has the characteristics of low toxicity, high bioavailability, and regulation of physiological functions. Here, the regulatory effect of Se-enriched Aspergillus oryzae A02 on the reproductive function of male mice and its potential molecular mechanism was studied.

Background: Biorefineries usually focus on the production of low-value commodities, such as bioethanol, platform chemicals or single cell protein. Shifting production to bioactive compounds, such as antimicrobial peptides, could provide an opportunity to increase the economic viability of biorefineries.
Results: Recombinant production of the antimicrobial peptide pediocin PA-1 in Corynebacterium glutamicum was transferred from yeast extract-based media to minimal media based on lignocellulosic spent sulfite liquor.

Introduction: This study was designed to describe the profile of co-occurring or secondary infections in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and those without.
Methodology: Out of 716 COVID-19 patients, 79 cases of co-occurring or secondary infections were included. These patients were categorized into two groups based on their usage of HBOT.
