Orthopaedic implications of physeal arrest following meningococcal septicaemia
… significant deformities caused by meningococcal septicaemia. These patients underwent 62 surgical procedures between them. These procedures were directed at the treatment of sequelae of growth arrest alone and excluded amputations, contracture releases, skin grafts and flaps. The extent of the …

Cortisol perturbation in the pathophysiology of septicaemia, complicated pregnancy and weight loss/obesity.
Cortisol, the principal glucocorticoid secreted from the adrenal glands, is essential for life. Healthy cortisol levels are maintained through negative feedback on the central nervous system (CNS) – pituitary stimulatory apparatus which regulates production of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and …

Community acquired bacterial meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia amongst adults in England and Wales : epidemiology and clinical management
… Bacterial meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia are important causes of morbidity and mortality in the UK and elsewhere. There have been achievements in paediatric care, including vaccination; however mortality amongst otherwise healthy young adults remains high. …

An investigation into the role of HIV exposure status in infectious disease mortality in children in Western Cape
… HIV exposure-infection and mortality. LRTI, septicaemia, and meningitis were all significantly associated with mortality at the 5% level. Children admitted with septicaemia demonstrated a 13.44 times increased odds of death (aOR: 13.44, 95% CI: 3.35-53.99). Conclusion: Children born to HIV …

Taxonomic Study of Pasteurella Anatipestifer
… anatipestifer (the causal agent of duck septicaemia) under the genus Moraxella. However, presently it is listed under genus Pasteurella as species incertae sedis.

Glutamine synthetase in Bacteroides fragilis
… the most prevalent isolate in cases of anaerobic septicaemia. Similar to most bacteria, ammonium is assimilated in B. fragilis through the action of glutamine synthetase (GS). Glutamine is vital to nitrogen metabolism as it serves as a precursor to many secondary metabolites. GS enzymes are, …

Patterns of mortality in children presenting to a tertiary paediatric emergency unit in Sub-Saharan Africa: a cross sectional study
… in 45 (33%), acute gastroenteritis in 27 (20%), septicaemia 22 (16%), meningitis in 13 (10%) and cardiac conditions in 12 (9%) children. Conclusion The top causes of mortality in this hospital cohort in 2008 were pneumonia, acute gastroenteritis, and septicaemia. Using the IMCI and ETAT standard …

Report and commentary on a series of cases of "acute osteomyelitis"
… of combating more effectively the general septicaemia. (10) Education of the general public, better general hygiene of the skin, and improved diet are necessary if we are to hope for eradication of the disease or the train of sequelae.

Molecular and Biochemical Characterisation of SiaP as a Sialic Acid Binding Protein Component of a TRAP Transporter of Sialic Acid.
… which causes respiratory tract infections, septicaemia and meningitis. Like many other bacteria, H. influenzae can use host-derived sialic acids as carbon, nitrogen and energy sources, but also as a terminal modification on the LPS to better evade the human immune system. H. influenzae takes …

Does the human skin microbiome adapt to antibiotic exposure?
… pathogenic to cause infections, for example, septicaemia and endocarditis. The effects of long-term sub-lethal exposure to antibiotics on the skin microbiota are unknown. How does antibiotic adaptation affect the ability of S. epidermidis to interact with host immune systems, inhibit pathogens …

Presence and Role of Acanthamoeba in Wound Infections
… with deep wound infections which then may cause septicaemia. Treatment is problematic and re-infection is quite common. Free Living Amoebae (FLA), such as Acanthamoeba, are widely distributed in the environment and may also contaminate wounds. It is well known that Acanthamoeba feed on and …

The rational structure-based design of a protein nanoparticle presenting a chimeric MenB antigen
… B (MenB) is a leading cause of meningitis and septicaemia. Vaccines rank amongst the most important public health interventions for combating these diseases. As vaccine development orientates towards more minimalist subunit antigen-based vaccines, new adjuvant systems are increasingly needed to …

Survival strategies of the human respiratory tract pathogen Haemophilus influenzae
… life-threatening diseases (e.g., epiglottitis, septicaemia and meningitis). In contrast, non-typeable H. influenzae (NTHi) accounts for the majority of local and upper and lower respiratory tract infections. The pathogenesis of many microorganisms relies on the capacity of pathogens to avoid, …

Cerebro-spinal fever
… meningococcus. In about 2 of cases the initial septicaemia is so severe that the patient succumbs before the lesions of the meninges have time to develop. In these, the characteristic lesion is found to consist in haemorrhagicinflammation of the adrenal glands, associated with purpura. To combat …

The phenotypic and molecular responses of Listeria monocytogenes to stressors
… of listeriosis, a severe infection resulting in septicaemia, meningitis and still birth. Infection typically arises through the consumption of contaminated foodstuffs. L. monocytogenes is a hardy organism which can survive several food control measures. Psychotrophic and facultatively anaerobic …

Modelling broiler chicken health and welfare in a changing climate
… metabolic disorder) and abnormal colour/fever (septicaemia/toxaemia: a systemic bacterial infection) were examined in relation to outdoor temperature throughout broilers’ lifespan by means of time-series regression; a statistical approach rarely utilised in animal welfare science. A distributed …

Proteases in Staphylococcal Arthritis
… resistant strains, the incidence of S. aureus septicaemia and its complications is increasing worldwide, as is the mortality thereof. S. aureus has an impressive capacity to adjust to the environment since it has developed a multitude of invasive and evasive mechanisms to cope with host …

Development of biosensors for biomarker detection and clinical therapeutic drug monitoring
… Antimicrobial resistance along with severe septicaemia are the emerging global health threats in absence of personalised antibiotic therapy that allows correct dosing to reduce the risk of treatment failure and toxicity. For the first time, a tetrapolar impedimetric biosensing system for …

Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Duration of Carriage
… can give rise to numerous infections such as septicaemia and urinary tract infections. It is important to combat these infections with effective antibiotics, because many of them are associated with high mortality rates if left untreated. In infections with ESBL-producing bacteria in …

Identification of new therapeutic compounds against carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae using a novel agar-based high-throughput microarray compound screening approach
… urinary tract infections (UTIs), bacteraemia, septicaemia, and wound/surgical site infections. Over the years, the pathogen developed resistance to most β-lactam antibacterial drugs used in clinical care. The most important of these drugs are carbapenems – a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics …
