We report a case of foot infection by Clostridium sordellii and review 15 human infections registered at a Reference Center in France during the period 1998 to 2011. All strains were found nontoxigenic, lacking the lethal toxin gene coding for TcsL. Like Clostridium septicum, several C. sordellii infections were associated with intestinal neoplasms.

School of Basic Medical Sciences, Binzhou Medical University, Yantai, China.
Viral infections in swine, such as African swine fever (ASF), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), have a significant impact on the swine industry. Despite the significant progress in the recent efforts to develop effective vaccines against viral diseases in swine, the search for new protective vaccination strategy remains a challenge. The antigenic epitope, acting as a fundamental unit, can initiate either a cellular or humoral immune response.

Article Synopsis
- Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) can lead to severe complications like amputation if not treated promptly, often due to delays in care.
- A 56-year-old patient experienced a DFU linked to a bacterial infection from poultry exposure, requiring multiple debridement surgeries and targeted antibiotic treatment.
- Effective management of DFUs involves adjusting antibiotic therapies based on identified pathogens to reduce mortality and prevent irreversible amputations.
Comprehensive Analysis of Minimally Invasive Management for Persistent Anterolateral Ankle Pain: A Systematic Review.
