    Abstract Since the emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at the end of 2019, a number of medications have been used to treat the infection and the related Coronavirus disease - 19 (COVID-19). Some of the administered drugs were tested or used in practice only on the basis of biological plausibility; a promising strategy was to target the host immune response, with host directed therapies (HDTs), to reduce systemic hyperinflammation and hypercytokinemia responsible for additional tissue damage. We summarize the treatments against SARS-CoV-2 and underline their possible effects on

    Abstract The human bladder has been long thought to be sterile until that, only in the last decade, advances in molecular biology have shown that the human urinary tract is populated with microorganisms. The relationship between the urobiota and the development of urinary tract disorders is now of great interest. Patients with spina bifida (SB) can be born with (or develop over time) neurological deficits due to damaged nerves that originate in the lower part of the spinal cord, including the neurogenic bladder. This condition represents a predisposing factor for urinary tract infections so that the most frequently used approach to treat patients with neurogenic bladder is based on clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). In this study, we analyzed the urobiota composition in a pediatric cohort of patients with SB compared to healthy controls, as well as the urobiota characteristics based on whether patients received CIC or not.

    Abstract Even though Everolimus has been investigated in a phase II randomized trial as a host-directed therapy (HDT) to treat tuberculosis (TB), an oncological patient treated with Everolimus for a neuroendocrine pancreatic neoplasia developed active TB twice and a non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection in a year and a half time span.

    Abstract Isoniazid (INH) is the cornerstone of the anti-tuberculosis regimens and emergence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resistant strains is a major threat to our ability to control tuberculosis (TB) at global level. Mutations in the gene coding the catalase KatG confer resistance to high level of INH. In this paper, we describe for the first time a complete deletion of the genomic region containing the katG gene in an Mtb clinical strain isolated in Italy in a patient with HIV infection that previously completed INH preventive therapy. We genotypically characterized the Mtb strain and showed that katG deletion confers high-level resistance to INH (MIC > 25.6 μg/mL). The katG deletion did not impact significantly on Mtb fitness as we did not detect enhanced susceptibility to H

    Abstract Bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or non-RSV agents is a health-menacing lower respiratory tract (LRT) disease of infants. Whereas RSV causes more severe disease than other viral agents may, genus-dominant fecal microbiota profiles have been identified in US hospitalized infants with bronchiolitis. We investigated the fecal microbiota composition of infants admitted to an Italian hospital with acute RSV (25/37 [67.6%]; group I) or non-RSV (12/37 [32.4%]; group II) bronchiolitis, and the relationship of fecal microbiota characteristics with the clinical characteristics of infants. Group I and group II infants differed significantly (24/25 [96.0%] versus 5/12 [41.7%];

    Abstract Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) has a tropism for the gastrointestinal tract and several studies have shown an alteration of the gut microbiota in hospitalized infected patients. However, long-term data on microbiota changes after recovery are lacking.
    Methods: We enrolled 30 patients hospitalized for SARS‑CoV‑2-related pneumonia. Their gut microbiota was analyzed within 48 h from the admission and compared with (1) that of other patients admitted for suspected bacterial pneumonia (control group) (2) that obtained from the same subject 6 months after nasopharyngeal swab negativization.
    Results: Gut microbiota alpha-diversity increased 6 months after the resolution of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Bacteroidetes relative abundance was higher (≈ 36.8%) in patients with SARS-CoV-2, and declined to 18.7% when SARS-CoV-2 infection resolved (p  =  0.004). Conversely, Firmicutes were prevalent (≈ 75%) in controls and in samples collected after SARS-CoV-2 infection resolution (p  =  0.001). Ruminococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae and Blautia increased after SARS-CoV-2 infection resolution, rebalancing the gut microbiota composition.
    Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with changes in the gut microbiome, which tend to be reversed in long-term period.

    Abstract Introduction: gut microbiota (GM) seems to be involved in the pathophysiology and progression of both metabolic syndrome (MS) and obesity. The aim was to investigate GM's composition in patients with severe obesity, candidates for bariatric/metabolic surgery BMS.
    Materials and methods: Multicentre, prospective, cohort study, enrolling 84 patients with BMI 40-55 kg/m
    Results: No differences were foundregarding anthropometric,nutritional parameters, except for vitamin D.As a whole the alpha and beta diversity examinations showed no statistical differences in GM profile. A total of 5/7 phyla with relative frequencies were identified above 0.1% (Actinobacteria,Bacteroidetes,Firmicutes,Proteobacteria,Verrucomicrobia).FusobacteriaandPatescibacteriarepresented the less abundant. There were no significant differences in the top ten genera.Data onBacteroidetes(inversely related to triglycerides and LDL and directly related to HDL levels) and onFirmicutes(opposite trend) relative abundances suggest no differences among the three conditions.No correlation between the relative abundance of themain phylaand plasmatic glucose levels was observed.
    Conclusions: In a selected cohort of patients with obesity, MS did not affect the preoperative GM's profile. Severe obesity, per se, seems to be an independent condition affecting GM.
