Sensitive and fast identification of bacteria in blood samples by immunoaffinity mass spectrometry for quick BSI diagnosis

Hubert Girault, Horst Pick, Niels Erik Lion, Natalia Gasilova, Liang Qiao, Michel Prudent, Yingdi Zhu, Alexandra Bondarenko

Bloodstream infections rank among the most serious causes of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, partly due to the long period (up to one week) required for clinical diagnosis. In this work, we have developed a sensitive method to quickly and ...

Exome Sequencing Reveals Primary Immunodeficiencies in Children with Community-Acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa Sepsis

Jacques Fellay, Istvan Bartha, Samira Asgari, Christoph Berger, Richard Wong

One out of three pediatric sepsis deaths in high income countries occur in previously healthy children. Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) have been postulated to underlie fulminant sepsis, but this concept remains to be confirmed in clinical practice. Pseu ...

Familial segregation of group B streptococcal infection in a consanguineous kindred

Jacques Fellay, Alessandro Borghesi

Two cases of neonatal group B streptococcal (GBS) infection occurring in a large consanguineous kindred are described. The observation suggests that susceptibility to isolated GBS disease in this family may have been the result of an inborn error of immuni ...

Determinants of HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibody induction

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) are a focal component of HIV-1 vaccine design, yet basic aspects of their induction remain poorly understood. Here we report on viral, host and disease factors that steer bnAb evolution using the results of a systema ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Effectiveness of an Innovative Silver-Copper Nanoparticle Coating of Catheters To Prevent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

In this study, silver/copper (Ag/Cu)-coated catheters were investigated for their efficacy in preventing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in vitro and in vivo. Ag and Cu were sputtered (67/33% atomic ratio) on polyurethane cathe ...

Observer Placement for Source Localization: the Effect of Budgets and Transmission Variance

Patrick Thiran, Laura Elisa Celis, Brunella Marta Spinelli

When an epidemic spreads in a network, a key question is where was its source, i.e., the node that started the epidemic. If we know the time at which various nodes were infected, we can attempt to use this information in order to identify the source. Howev ...

Metal Distribution and Characterization of Cultivable Lead-Resistant Bacteria in Shooting Range Soils

Aline Sondra Adler

Shooting ranges represent about 10% of polluted sites in Switzerland. This pollution, mainly consisting of lead (Pb) and antimony (Sb), can spread into the local groundwater, wildlife and plants. In this study, shooting range stop butt soils (elevated soil ...

The regulatory isoform rPGRP-LC induces immune resolution via endosomal degradation of receptors

Bruno Lemaitre, Fanny Schüpfer

The innate immune system needs to distinguish between harmful and innocuous stimuli to adapt its activation to the level of threat. How Drosophila mounts differential immune responses to dead and live Gram-negative bacteria using the single peptidoglycan r ...
