Arcanobacterium bernardiae human infections remain rare. Only 2 reports are described in the literature. We report on an immunocompetent patient with a long history of chronic osteitis who developed a polymicrobial infection of the knee. The initial isolation of Staphylococcus aureus confounded the diagnosis of A. bernardiae infection, which underlines the need for extended period of incubation and subcultures of enriched liquid culture media. A. bernardiae is a new bacterium implicated in osteoarticular infections.

Vertebral osteomyelitis in patients with infective endocarditis: prevalence, risk factors and mortality.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Noordwest Hospital, Alkmaar, The Netherlands.
Purpose: Infective endocarditis (IE) can be complicated by vertebral osteomyelitis (VO). This study investigates risk factors associated with VO in patients with infective endocarditis, and 6-month mortality and relapse rates in patients with IE and concomitant VO.
Methods: We performed a observational study in two hospitals between September 2016 and October 2022.
Photoinitiated Thiol-Ene Click Reaction for Preparation of Highly Adhesive and Mechanically Stable Silicone Coatings for Marine Antifouling and Anticorrosion.

Marine biofouling and corrosion have become the main problems affecting the development of the marine industry. Silicone-based coatings have been widely used for antifouling and anticorrosion due to their low surface energy. However, the poor adhesion and low mechanical stability of these materials limit their application in complex marine environments.

Unlabelled: Despite the prevalence and severity of enterococcal bacteremia (EcB), the mechanisms underlying systemic host responses to the disease remain unclear. Here, we present an extensive study that profiles molecular differences in plasma from EcB patients using an unbiased multi-omics approach. We performed shotgun proteomics and metabolomics on 105 plasma samples, including those from EcB patients and healthy volunteers.
