Introduction: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Aetiologic virus and bacteria vary geographically. To date, no systematic data on RTI aetiologies have been published from Kyrgyzstan, a country with a high under-five mortality from lower RTIs and a widespread overuse of antibiotics.

Background: Preterm neonates have underdeveloped organs, a fragile skin barrier and an immature immune system rendering them susceptible to infection. These infants are at an increased risk of developing a healthcare-associated infection because of antibiotic exposure, invasive monitoring and the general risk of outbreaks within a hospital setting. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of antimicrobial resistant organism carriage in very preterm neonates (i.

Background: The infant respiratory microbiome is derived largely from the mother and is associated with downstream health and disease. Manipulating maternal respiratory flora peripartum to influence the infant microbiome has not previously been investigated. Neisseria lactamica is a harmless pharyngeal commensal that correlates inversely with Neisseria meningitidis carriage and disease.

ACE2 expression is altered in pregnancy disorders and ACE2 gene variants are associated with several major pregnancy complications including small-for-gestational-age, fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia. This study utilised gene-editing to generate both ACE2 knockout and ACE2 rs2074192 placental organoids, facilitating mechanistic studies into the role of ACE2 in placental development, and the effect of fetal carriage of ACE2 rs2074192 CC, CT and TT genotypes. Parameters of cell and organoid growth were measured, together with qPCR, Western Blotting, and ELISA assessments, in all groups from both organoid models.
