Multicenter analysis of sputum microbiota in tuberculosis patients

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Marion Leleu, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Philippe Busso

The impact of tuberculosis and of anti-tuberculosis therapy on composition and modification of human lung microbiota has been the object of several investigations. However, no clear outcome has been presented so far and the relationship betweenM.tuberculos ...

Microbiological contamination of cosmetic products - observations from Europe, 2005-2018

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Background Although cosmetic products are not expected to be fully aseptic, their potential microbiological contamination might be dangerous, especially for immunocompromised patients. The extent of such contamination of cosmetics in Europe is poorly studi ...

Increased Myeloid Cell Production and Lung Bacterial Clearance in Mice Exposed to Cigarette Smoke

Alessandra Piersigilli

Pneumonia is a leading cause of hospitalization in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although most patients with COPD are smokers, the effects of cigarette smoke exposure on clearance of lung bacterial pathogens and on immune and ...

Malachite Green Interferes with Postantibiotic Recovery of Mycobacteria

John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Ekaterina Gelman

The genus Mycobacterium comprises slow-growing species with generation times ranging from hours to weeks. The protracted incubation time before colonies appear on solid culture medium can result in overgrowth by faster-growing microorganisms. To prevent co ...

Optimized autofluorescence bronchoscopy using additional backscattered red light

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht

Autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) has been shown to be a highly sensitive tool for the detection of early endobronchial cancers. When excited with blue-violet light, early neoplasia in the bronchi tend to show a decrease of autofluorescence in the green ...

Optimization of the spectral design used to detect early carcinoma in the human tracheo-bronchial tree by autofluorescence imaging

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht

The early detection and localization of bronchial cancer remains a challenging task. Autofluorescence bronchoscopy is emerging as a useful diagnostic tool with improved sensitivity and specificity. Evidence exists that the native fluorescence or autofluore ...
