Virulence factors and mechanisms of paediatric pneumonia caused by Enterococcus faecalis

Zhiying Tian et al.

Summary: Paediatric pneumonia is a respiratory infection that primarily affects infants and young children under the age of 3. The identification of causative agents and the weak immune system of young children contribute to the high mortality rate associated with this disease. In this study, the role of pathogenic E. faecalis in inducing pneumonia was investigated, revealing its virulence factors and their impact on the intestinal barrier, immune responses, and development of pneumonia.

RSV pneumonia with or without bacterial co-infection among healthy children

Hsiao-Chi Lin et al.

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of childhood pneumonia. Bacterial co-infections can affect the severity of the condition, especially in young children. The study found that children with bacterial co-infection had longer hospital stays, more frequent need for intensive care unit (ICU) care, and higher levels of C-reactive protein.

Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Neonatal Infectious Diseases

Lu Chen et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of mNGS using cfDNA and RNA for diagnosing neonatal infections, achieving unbiased detection of trace pathogens from different body fluid and blood samples. The best timing for mNGS detection is found to be 1 to 3 days after the start of antimicrobial therapy.

Pneumococcal serotypes in adults hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia in Greece using urinary antigen detection tests: the EGNATIA study, November 2017-April 2019

Adamantia Liapikou et al.

Summary: Greece introduced PCV13 into the national immunization program and recommended it for adults. Despite a mature vaccination program, a persistent burden of pneumococcal infections exists in Greek adults. Strategies to increase vaccination coverage should be implemented to reduce the disease burden.

Diagnostic Performance of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Pediatric Patients: A Retrospective Study in a Large Children's Medical Center

Yue Tao et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in a large population of children with various types of infectious diseases. The results showed that mNGS had higher sensitivity in pathogen detection compared to standard tests, and it provided more diagnostic information. For critically ill pediatric patients with suspected infection, mNGS tests can provide valuable diagnostic information to guide clinical decision-making.

Targeting the latent human cytomegalovirus reservoir for T-cell-mediated killing with virus-specific nanobodies

Timo W. M. De Groof et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that a bivalent nanobody specific for the HCMV receptor US28 can reactivate latent virus and enhance susceptibility to T cell killing, providing a potential therapeutic approach for reducing the HCMV latent reservoir in transplant patients, where the virus can evade immune responses.
