Sequestration of dead-end undecaprenyl phosphate-linked oligosaccharide intermediate.
Microbiology (Reading)
January 2025
School of Life and Environmental Sciences, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, New South Wales, Australia.
Most Gram-negative bacteria synthesize a plethora of cell surface polysaccharides that play key roles in immune evasion, cell envelope structural integrity and host-pathogen interactions. In the predominant polysaccharide Wzx/Wzy-dependent pathway, synthesis is divided between the cytoplasmic and periplasmic faces of the membrane. Initially, an oligosaccharide composed of 3-8 sugars is synthesized on a membrane-embedded lipid carrier, undecaprenyl pyrophosphate, within the cytoplasmic face of the membrane.

JAMA Health Forum
January 2025
Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) experienced high mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading them to adopt preventive measures to counteract viral spread. A critical appraisal of these measures is essential to support SNFs in managing future infectious disease outbreaks.
Objective: To perform a scoping review of data and evidence on the use and effectiveness of preventive measures implemented from 2020 to 2024 to prevent COVID-19 infection in SNFs in the US.
Use of Machine Learning to Assess the Management of Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Population Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare Institute, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common indication for outpatient antimicrobial therapy. National guidelines for the management of uncomplicated UTI were published in 2011, but the extent to which they align with current practices, patient diversity, and pathogen biology, all of which have evolved greatly in the time since their publication, is not fully known.
Objective: To reevaluate the effectiveness and adverse event profile for first-line antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, and oral β-lactams for treating uncomplicated UTI in contemporary clinical practice.
Trends in insecticide resistance in natural populations of Culex quinquefasciatus and its impact on mosquito fitness in Dschang, West Cameroon.
Parasitol Res
January 2025
Plant Production Department, College of Food and Agricultural Sciences, King Saud University, P.O. Box. 2460, 11451, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Specific information about the dispersion of Culex quinquefasciatus from Dschang in western Cameroon is scarce, and evidence-based interventions are needed. Common use of larvicides and adulticides conduct to the development of vectors resistance which can lead to deep biological changes, including fitness costs. We assessed the profile of insecticide resistance in field populations of Cx.

Support Care Cancer
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK.
Purpose: Protective isolation is used during haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to protect patients at increased risk of infection. However, it is suggested that the intensity of strict isolation conditions combined with intense treatments can impact patients psychologically. This review explored the psychological effect of protective isolation on HSCT patients.
