Here, we performed the first study in Chad on the prevalence of oral yeasts carriage and oral candidiasis in HIV-positive subjects from southern Chad and analyzed the influence of HAART, CD4 + T-cell numbers, and antimycotics in 589 patients. These patients were recruited from a specialized medical center for HIV patients in Sarh and from a rural medical health dispensary in the vicinity, including a total of 384 HIV-positive and 205 HIV-negative individuals. Yeasts obtained from oral specimen were identified by MALDI-TOF MS and their antifungal susceptibility profiles determined. The overall prevalence of yeast colonization and symptomatic oral candidiasis in HIV-infected patients was 25.1%. The prevalence of oral candidiasis was higher in untreated than in HAART-treated HIV-positive patients (16% vs. 2%; p  < 0.01). Oral candidiasis was furthermore associated with high fungal burdens of Candida albicans and a CD4 + T-cell number <200/μl. A shift toward non -albicans Candida species was observed under nucleoside-based HAART therapy. Azole antifungal drug resistance was only observed for the intrinsically resistant species Candida krusei and Candida glabrata . Prevalence of oral candidiasis in the studied area was very low. The species distribution was similar to other countries around the world, with C. albicans being dominant. Candida dubliniensis was not isolated. Nucleoside-based HAART therapy significantly reduced oral colonization as well as occurrence of oral candidiasis caused by C. albicans and led to a species shift toward non- albicans species. Antifungal resistance was not yet a concern in Chad."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2022"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fmicb.2022.844069"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/105503"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-530"],["dc.relation.eissn","1664-302X"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","Epidemiology and Prevalence of Oral Candidiasis in HIV Patients From Chad in the Post-HAART Era"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

It was the aim of this study to evaluate the performance and turnaround times of a new point-of-care multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) system for rapid identification of pathogens and antibiotic resistance markers. We assessed the applicability of the system under real-life conditions in critical ill patients with HAP. Methods: We enrolled forty critical ill patients with clinical signs for HAP into an observational study. Two samples of respiratory secretions were collected during one course of aspiration and cMD and mPCR testing (Unyvero, Curetis AG, Holzgerlingen, Germany) were performed immediately. The mPCR device was operated as a point-of-care system at the intensive care unit. We compared turnaround times, results of pathogen identification and results of antibiotic resistance testing of both methods. Results: Mean turnaround times (min-max) were 6.5 h (4.7-18.3 h) for multiplex PCR and 71 h (37.2-217.8 h) for conventional microbiology (final cMD results, incomplete results neglected). 60 % (n = 24) of the mPCR tests were completely valid. Complete test failure occurred in 10 % (n = 4) and partial test failure occurred in 30 % (n = 12). We found concordant results in 45 % (n = 18) and non-concordant results in 45 % (n = 18) of all patients. 55 % (n = 16) of the results were concordant in patients with a clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) > 5 (n = 29). Concordant results included three cases of multidrug resistant bacteria. MPCR frequently detected antibiotic resistance markers that were not found by cMD. Conclusions: Unyvero allowed point-of-care microbial testing with short turnaround times. The performance of the system was poor. However, an improved system with a more reliable performance and an extended microbial panel could be a useful addition to cMD in intensive care medicine."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2015"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s12941-015-0091-3"],["dc.identifier.isi","000356592600001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26071191"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13460"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/36848"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1476-0711"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Point-of-care multiplex PCR promises short turnaround times for microbial testing in hospital-acquired pneumonia - an observational pilot study in critical ill patients"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Methods A review of 3,952 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac surgery at our institution between January 2013 and December 2017 revealed 160 patients (4%) who were operated for IE. Results The predominantly affected valves were the aortic (30%) and mitral valve (26.9%) as well as a combination of both (8.8%). A total of 28.8% of patients suffered from prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). The most frequently identified causative organisms were Staphylococcus (45.7%), Streptococcus (27.5%), and Enterococcus species (16.7%), which was predominantly associated with PVE (p = 0.050). In 13.1% of patients, a causative organism has not been detected. The most frequent infective foci were dental (15%), soft-tissue infections (15%), spondylodiscitis (10%), and infected intravascular implants (8.8%). Relevant predisposing factors were immunosuppression (9.4%) and intravenous drug abuse (4.4%). Septic cerebral infarctions were diagnosed in 28.8% of patients. Postoperative mortality was 22.5%.

Although the concept of cell therapy for various diseases of the liver is widely accepted, the practical approach in humans often remains difficult. An international expert panel critically discussed the recent published data on clinical and experimental hepatocyte transplantation and the possible role of stem cells in liver tissue repair.
