    Abstract Background: This study aimed to examine the clinical and microbiological characteristics of female patients with recurrent acute pyelonephritis (APN). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in South Korea from July 2019 to December 2021. All female patients aged ≥ 19 years who were diagnosed with community-acquired APN on admission were enrolled. The recurrent group included patients with APN who experienced urinary tract infections within the previous year. The clinical characteristics, types of causative organisms, major antibiotic resistance, and molecular characteristics of Escherichia coli strains were compared between the recurrent and non-recurrent groups. Results: A total of 285 patients with APN were analyzed, including 41 (14.4%) in the recurrent group. Compared to the non-recurrent group, the recurrent group had a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (1.8 ± 2.1 vs. 1.1 ± 1.5; P = 0.01) and a higher proportion of bladder abnormalities, such as neurogenic bladder (12.2% vs. 2.0%; P = 0.001) and urinary catheterization (12.2% vs. 1.6%; P < 0.001). Escherichia coli was the most common causative organism in both groups. The proportion of Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.1% vs. 4.7%; P = 0.007) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.7% vs. 0.5%; P = 0.014) as a causative organism was higher in the recurrent group. Regarding the microbiological characteristics of Escherichia coli, there were no significant differences in the proportion of antibiotic resistance, phylogenetic groups, resistance genes, and virulence factors between the two groups. Multivariable analysis showed that neurogenic bladder and a history of admission or antibiotic use during 1 year prior to inclusion were significantly associated with recurrent APN. Conclusions: The proportion of causative organisms except Escherichia coli was higher in the recurrent group than in the non-recurrent group. Neurogenic bladder and a history of admission or antibiotic use during 1 year prior to inclusion were risk factors for ...

    Abstract Objectives: Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is a common upper respiratory tract infection that is mostly of viral origin. However, little is known about the nasal microbiome profile at presentation and the changes caused by antibiotics in acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS).
    Methods: This was a prospective single-center study. Overall, 43 ARS patients were screened and were assessed with the symptom questionnaires, nasal endoscopy, and Water's view. Five healthy subjects were recruited as controls. Middle meatal mucus samples were obtained using a cotton swab (for bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing) and the suction technique (for 16S rRNA sequencing). After 1 week of antibiotic use (amoxicillin with clavulanic acid), we enrolled 13 patients with ABRS with positive isolates and middle meatal samples for 16S rRNA sequencing were obtained again.
    Results: Overall, we demonstrated a significantly lower abundance of the Lactobacillaceae family in ABRS patients than in healthy controls. Resistant ABRS had different characteristics of middle meatal microbiomes when compared to sensitive ABRS as follows: (1) lower proportion of lactic acid bacteria, (2) increased pathogens such as Rhodococcus sp., Massila sp., Acinetobacter sp., and H. influenza, and (3) increased beta diversity. However, no remarkable changes were observed in the middle meatal microbiome after antibiotic use.
    Conclusion: We showed the roles of Lactobacillaceae in ABRS, and Acinetobacter and Massilia in case of amoxicillin resistance.

    Abstract Understanding how nanoparticles (NPs) interact with biological systems is important in many biomedical research areas. However, the heterogeneous nature of biological systems, including the existence of numerous cell types and multitudes of key environmental factors, makes these interactions extremely challenging to investigate precisely. Here, using a single-cell-based, high-dimensional mass cytometry approach, we demonstrated that the presence of protein corona has significant influences on the cellular associations and cytotoxicity of gold NPs for human immune cells, and those effects vary significantly with the types of immune cells and their subsets. The altered surface functionality of protein corona reduced the cytotoxicity and cellular association of gold NPs in most cell types (e.g., monocytes, dendritic cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and T cells) and those immune cells selected different endocytosis pathways such as receptor-mediated endocytosis, phagocytosis, and micropinocytosis. However, even slight alterations in the major cell type (phagocytic cells and non-phagocytic cells) and T cell subsets (e.g., memory and naive T cells) resulted in significant protein corona-dependent variations in their cellular dose of gold NPs. Especially, naive T killer cells exhibited additional heterogeneity than memory T killer cells, with clusters exhibiting distinct cellular association patterns in single-cell contour plots. This multi-parametric analysis of mass cytometry data established a conceptual framework for a more holistic understanding of how the human immune system responds to external stimuli, paving the way for the application of precisely engineered NPs as promising tools of nanomedicine under various clinical settings, including targeted drug delivery and vaccine development.
