As a result of the in vitro and clinical data highlighting the deficiencies of the “SPACE/SPICE” mnemonic, there has been a movement within #IDTwitter (amongst other infectious diseases enthusiasts) to change the mnemonic commonly used to teach learners about inducible AmpC organisms to “HECK Yes” – Hafnia alvei, Enterobacter cloacae ...

2017年11月5日 · The patients’ past infections are remarkable for: Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterococcus faecalis, coag negative Staph, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Candida prapsilolosis, and Enterobacter asburiae.

2016年7月11日 · “SPICE” often stands for the following bacterial species: Serratia spp, Providencia spp, indole-positive Proteae (e.g. Proteus spp. [not mirabilis], Morganella spp., Providencia spp.), Citrobacter spp., and Enterobacter spp. Some have also included Pseudomonas spp (“P”).

Methods: This single-center, retrospective, cohort study analyzed data from adult patients who had clinical infection with a SPICE organism isolated from blood or urine cultures. Patients were assigned to a carbapenem- or noncarbapenem-treated group.

Microbes and other “bugs” can cause infectious disease and may seriously affect a person’s health. 1. Viruses – such as HIV (human immune deficiency virus) that can cause AIDS, and the rhinovirus responsible for the common cold. 2.

Scientists discovered a mutated version of a common superbug that is resistant to antibiotics, according to a study published in the scientific journal “Microbiome.” The superbug, officially...

2024年6月11日 · Like all humans, astronauts remain vulnerable to infectious diseases. On ISS, which orbits about 400 km above earth, bugs that are found are closely monitored and their physiology is studied...

2018年11月28日 · Microbiologists have discovered some unsuspecting passengers aboard the International Space Station. Five drug-resistant strains of bacteria were isolated from samples taken from ISS bathrooms...

2021年10月4日 · In 2015, a NASA-led study published in the journal Microbiome found that most of the bugs on the ISS are associated with human skin, specifically Corynebacterium and Propionibacterium...

2024年6月7日 · To gain a comprehensive understanding of these risks, we review the measured and estimated incidence of infections in space, effect of space environment on the human immune system and microbial behaviour, current preventive and management strategies for infections, and future perspectives for diagnosis and treatment.
