    Abstract: Broad-range 16S rRNA PCR and sequencing of 1,183 blood specimens from 853 unique patients yielded an interpretable sequence and bacterial identification in 29%, 16S rRNA amplification with uninterpretable sequences in 53%, and no amplification in 18%. ... ...

    Abstract Broad-range 16S rRNA PCR and sequencing of 1,183 blood specimens from 853 unique patients yielded an interpretable sequence and bacterial identification in 29%, 16S rRNA amplification with uninterpretable sequences in 53%, and no amplification in 18%. This study highlights the potential utility of this technique in identifying fastidious gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria but the frequent recovery of environmental and contaminant organisms argues for its judicious use.
    Importance: The existing literature focuses on its performance compared to blood cultures in patients with sepsis, leaving a gap in the literature regarding other blood specimens in suspected infectious syndrome across the severity spectrum. We aimed to characterize its microbiological outcomes and provide insight into its potential clinical utility.

    Abstract Background: Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection with presentations ranging from asymptomatic illness to severe pneumonia and respiratory failure. The outcomes of patients with severe pulmonary coccidioidomycosis requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) are not well understood.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis utilizing the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2006 to 2017. Patients >18 years of age with a diagnosis of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis were included in the cohort.
    Results: A total of 11,045 patients were hospitalized with a diagnosis of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis during the study period. Of these, 826 (7.5%) patients required MV during their hospitalization with a mortality rate of 33.5% compared to 1.3% (
    Conclusions: Approximately 7.5% of patients admitted with coccidioidomycosis in the United States require MV, and MV is associated with high mortality (33.5%).

    Abstract Anaerobic fungi (Neocallimastigomycetes) found in the guts of herbivores are biomass deconstruction specialists with a remarkable ability to extract sugars from recalcitrant plant material. Anaerobic fungi, as well as many species of anaerobic bacteria, deploy multi-enzyme complexes called cellulosomes, which modularly tether together hydrolytic enzymes, to accelerate biomass hydrolysis. While the majority of genomically encoded cellulosomal genes in Neocallimastigomycetes are biomass degrading enzymes, the second largest family of cellulosomal genes encode spore coat CotH domains, whose contribution to fungal cellulosome and/or cellular function is unknown. Structural bioinformatics of CotH proteins from the anaerobic fungus Piromyces finnis shows anaerobic fungal CotH domains conserve key ATP and Mg
