    Abstract Background: A key factor behind the unnecessary use of antibiotics is the lack of rapid and accurate diagnostic tests. In this study, we developed a novel and fast flow cytometric single-tube method to detect bacterial infections within 30 minutes.
    Methods: Quantitative flow cytometric four-colour analysis of host biomarkers CD35, CD64, CD329, and MHC class I expression on neutrophils and lymphocytes was performed on samples taken from 841 febrile patients with suspected infection. Obtained data was incorporated into the four-colour bacterial infection (FCBI)-index, using the developed bacterial infection algorithm.
    Findings: In distinguishing between microbiologically confirmed bacterial (n = 193) and viral (n = 291) infections, the FCBI-index method was superior to serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT). In 269 confirmed viral respiratory tract infections, 43% (95% CI: 37-49%) of the patients had an increased FCBI-index, suggesting probable bacterial coinfection.
    Interpretation: The proposed FCBI-index test might be a potent additional tool when assessing appropriateness of empiric antibiotic treatment.
    Funding: This study has been financially supported by Turku University Hospital (Turku, Finland) and The Finnish Medical Foundation.

    Abstract Background: Air pollution is recognized as an emerging environmental risk factor for neurological diseases. Large-scale epidemiological studies associate traffic-related particulate matter (PM) with impaired cognitive functions and increased incidence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Inhaled components of PM may directly invade the brain via the olfactory route, or act through peripheral system responses resulting in inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. Microglia are the immune cells of the brain implicated in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. However, it remains unknown how PM affects live human microglia.
    Results: Here we show that two different PMs derived from exhausts of cars running on EN590 diesel or compressed natural gas (CNG) alter the function of human microglia-like cells in vitro. We exposed human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived microglia-like cells (iMGLs) to traffic related PMs and explored their functional responses. Lower concentrations of PMs ranging between 10 and 100 µg ml
    Conclusions: Our study indicates that traffic-related air pollutants alter the function of human microglia and warrant further studies to determine whether these changes contribute to adverse effects in the brain and on cognition over time. This study demonstrates human iPSC-microglia as a valuable tool to study functional microglial responses to environmental agents.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to develop a rapid single-tube two-color flow cytometric method to distinguish between febrile bacterial and viral infections. In this prospective comparative study, the quantitative flow cytometric analysis of CD35 and CD64 on isolated human leukocytes was obtained from 286 hospitalized febrile patients, of which 197 patients were found to have either a bacterial (n = 136) or viral (n = 61) infection. The data from infected patients was compared to 49 healthy controls and 23 patients in an inflammatory state. We developed a flow cytometric marker for bacterial infections, defined as the two-color bacterial infection index (TC-BI-index), by incorporating the quantitative analysis of CD35 and CD64 on isolated neutrophils, monocytes, and B-lymphocytes, which displayed 90% sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing between microbiologically confirmed bacterial (n = 77) and viral infections (n = 61) within 45 min. We propose that TC-BI-index test will be useful in assisting physicians to ascertain whether antibiotic treatment is required, thus limiting unnecessary antimicrobial usage.

    Abstract Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) pose an increasing threat to patient safety and healthcare systems globally. We present molecular epidemiology of CPE in Finland during 2012-2018 with detailed characteristics of CPE strains causing clusters during the same time period. All Finnish clinical microbiology laboratories send Enterobacterales isolates with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems or isolates producing carbapenemase to the reference laboratory for further characterization by whole genome sequencing (WGS). In total, 231 CPE strains from 202 patients were identified during 2012-2018. Of the strains, 59% were found by screening and 32% from clinical specimens, the latter were most commonly urine. Travel and/or hospitalization history abroad was reported for 108/171 strains (63%). The most common species were Klebsiella pneumoniae (45%), Escherichia coli (40%), and Citrobacter freundii (6%), and the most common carbapenemase genes bla
