The World Health Organization has identified multidrug-resistant bacteria as a serious global health threat. Gram-negative bacteria are particularly prone to antibiotic resistance, and their high rate of antibiotic resistance has been suggested to be related to the complex structure of their cell membrane. The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains lipopolysaccharides that protect the bacteria against threats such as antibiotics, while the inner membrane houses 20-30% of the bacterial cellular proteins.

Evaluating C-Reactive Protein and Procalcitonin Discordance Among Febrile Infants at Risk of Serious Bacterial Infections.

Acta Paediatr

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine, KK Women's and Children's Hospital, SingHealth-Duke NUS Paediatrics Academic Clinical Programme, Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore.

Aim: We aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) discordance in febrile infants with serious bacterial infections (SBIs).

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of febrile infants ≤ 90 days old presenting to the emergency department between December 2018 and June 2023. We compared conservative and pragmatic thresholds for PCT (< 0.

Dengue Virus Replicative-Form dsRNA Is Recognized by Both RIG-I and MDA5 to Activate Innate Immunity.

J Med Virol

February 2025

CAS Key Laboratory of Molecular Virology and Immunology, Shanghai Institute of Immunity and Infection, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China.

RIG-I like receptors (RLRs) are a family of cytosolic RNA sensors that sense RNA virus infection to activate innate immune response. It is generally believed that different RNA viruses are recognized by either RIG-I or MDA5, two important RLR members, depending on the nature of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are generated by RNA virus replication. Dengue virus (DENV) is an important RNA virus causing serious human diseases.
