Background: Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (pfCD) poses significant healing challenges, closely associated with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). This study aimed to investigate the microbe-host interactions influencing NETs in pfCD.
Methods: From January 2019 to July 2022, patients with pfCD were screened at Ren Ji Hospital.

Background: To evaluate the performance of simultaneous amplification and testing (SAT) assay for the detection of group B Streptococcus (GBS) in maternal vaginal and perianal swabs compared with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Methods: We obtained vaginal and perianal swabs from 1474 pregnant women at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University (Shanghai, China) between April 2023 and June 2023. Vaginal and perianal swabs were collected at 35-37 weeks of gestation.

Background: Perianal abscess is a common disease among adults, necessitating surgical drainage. We aimed to assess the role of microbiology and other factors in prolonged hospitalization of patients with perianal abscesses.
Methods: This retrospective study included all patients aged 18 or older who underwent surgical incision and drainage for perianal abscess in a single medical center between 2016 and 2020.

Introduction: Fournier's gangrene is a rare but life-threatening form of necrotizing soft tissue infection involving the perineal, genital, or perianal region, commonly caused by a mix of aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Initially discovered in dental abscesses, Streptococcus anginosus have been increasingly reported in pyogenic and systemic infections with abscess formation. We present a rare case of perineal abscess that developed into Fournier's gangrene in which the causative pathogen isolated was S.
