Dr. Don and Professor Ben talk about the risks of licking someone else's ear wax off your finger Dr. Don - not risky

Our editors – Marc Bonten, Erin McCreary, Anne-Grete Märtson, Angela Huttner, and Josh Davis – are back for part two of the ESCMID Global Late Breakers series, summarising five more late-breaking trials presented at ESCMID Global 2026. They discuss the trials' strengths and weaknesses, and whether their results should change practice. The five trials presented in this half of the series are listed below, and links to their respective sessions can be watched and rewatched on the ESCMID Global Virtual Platform. Links to corresponding abstracts and publications where available are provided as well.Conflict of interest/involvement in the trials:Marc Bonten was the chair of the E.mbrace trial's steering committeeJosh Davis is global co-lead of the SNAP trialJosh Davis was a site investigator on the E.mbrace trialAngela Huttner was an independent/unpaid member of the E.mbrace trial's steering committee and an investigator on the precursor phase 1 trial testing the E. coli vaccinePROCALBAN trial (Late-breaking clinical trials in sepsis management)Chowdhury F, et al.

„D-Mannose wirkt nicht über Biochemie, sondern über Physik.“ Ein Einfachzucker, der nicht primär als Energiequelle dient, sondern gezielt dort aktiv wird, wo viele Harnwegsinfektionen entstehen: in der Blase. Genau dort setzt D-Mannose an und erklärt, warum sie in den letzten Jahren zunehmend in den Fokus gerückt ist. In dieser HEALTH NERDS Deep Dive Episode sprechen Podcast-Host Felix Moese und Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum über die Besonderheiten von D-Mannose und ihren Weg durch den Körper. Im Unterschied zu Glukose wird sie kaum verstoffwechselt, gelangt über die Blutbahn in die Nieren und wird über den Urin ausgeschieden. Entscheidend ist ihr Wirkprinzip: D-Mannose kann die Anheftung bestimmter Bakterien, insbesondere Escherichia coli, an die Blasenschleimhaut verhindern. Statt die Keime zu zerstören, bindet sie an deren Adhäsionsstrukturen und erschwert so das Festsetzen. Die Folge: Bakterien werden mit dem Urin ausgeschieden. Ein mechanischer Ansatz, kein klassisch pharmakologischer. Die Studienlage zeigt Hinweise auf positive Effekte, vor allem bei wiederkehrenden Harnwegsinfektionen. Gleichzeitig bleibt die Evidenz begrenzt, insbesondere bei großen klinischen Endpunkten. D-Mannose kann unterstützen, ersetzt aber keine medizinische Abklärung und keine ursachenorientierte Therapie. Denn rezidivierende Infektionen entstehen selten isoliert. Faktoren wie Mikrobiom, hormonelle Veränderungen oder Lebensstil spielen eine zentrale Rolle. Auch Basismaßnahmen wie ausreichende Flüssigkeitszufuhr bleiben entscheidend. Wann ist D-Mannose sinnvoll? Welche Dosierungen werden eingesetzt? Und wo liegen die Grenzen eines Ansatzes, der oft als einfache Lösung gilt? HEALTH NERDS. Mensch, einfach erklärt.

Constanza Avello y Tomás Vio conversan sobre los problemas de los grandes brotes alimentarios con ejemplos en Estados Unidos y Chile. Hablan también sobre los retiros masivos de alimentos contaminados y de los efectos letales de la contaminación por bacterias como la Escherichia coli y Salmonella.

Las infecciones de las vías urinarias mas habituales son las producidas por bacterias, aunque también pueden presentarse a causa de virus, hongos o parásitos. De muchas de ellas es responsable la bacteria llamada Escherichia coli, que normalmente vive en el intestino. Infección de orina o del tracto urinario son expresiones que engloban diferentes enfermedades infecciosas (producidas por un microorganismo o germen) y que afectan a cualquier parte del sistema urinario (riñones, uréteres, vejiga urinaria o uretra).

On this edition, we'll hear how bacteria work and move substances in and out of their cells, and how scientists understand how microbes behave together in the microbiome and affect human health. Ben Hipwell is a researcher (PhD candidate) in the bacterial regulation and transport lab at the University of Newcastle, working under Dr Karl Hassan. His research investigates mechanisms of action in bacteria, including how compounds affect bacterial physiology and transport systems in organisms like Escherichia coli — knowledge that connects to microbial regulation and transport processes. Understanding these mechanisms helps illuminate how bacterial cells control their internal environment and interact with their surroundings, which are key aspects of microbial community behaviour and important for understanding the microbiome’s dynamics and impact on health and disease.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Don and Professor Ben talk about the risks of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar for pregnant or immunocompromised people. Dr. Don - not risky

Ķīmija, lai arī bieži nemanāma un neuzkrītoša, ir klātesoša neskaitāmās mūsu dzīves jomās. Sākot ar produktiem mūsu vannasistabās un zāļu plauktos, beidzot ar enerģētiku un pārtikas drošību. Ķīmiķi Latvijā kopā ar fiziķiem šobrīd strādā pie nanopārklājumiem vēja turbīnu lāpstiņām un īpaša sensora, kas ziņotu par zivju produktu svaigumu. Par jaunākajiem pētījumiem raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta Latvijas Universitātes (LU) asociētais profesors, Organiskās sintēzes institūta pētnieks, ķīmiķis Artis Kinēns un fiziķis no Ukrainas, LU Atomfizikas un spektroskopijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Romāns Viters. Stāstot par topošo zivju svaiguma kontroles sensoru, Artis Kinēns skaidro, ka pašreizējās tehnoloģijas, lai noteiktu pārtikas kvalitāti, bieži vien laboratorijas izmeklējumi. "Tas nozīmē, ka ir jāņem zivs paraudziņus, sūta uz laboratoriju, taisa mikrobioloģiskos testus. Tas aizņem labākajā gadījumā dažas stundas, realitātē - vairākas dienas. Tas nozīmē, ka tas svaigums, ko noteicāt, jau ir divas dienas vecs," norāda Artis Kinēns.  Otrs variants ir fizikālas metodes, kam nepieciešams fizisks kontakts ar zivi.  "Bet ko darīt, ja zivs ir iepakojumā? Ja atvērt iepakojumu vaļā, jau ir atkritums radies. Arī tad, ja zivs paraugu sūta uz laboratoriju, arī ir radīts atkritums. Līdz ar to nav labas tiešsaistes metodes, kurā būtu iespējams kontrolēt pārtikas produktu, kas jau ir iepakojumā, lai tas nebūtu jāatver." "Galvenā priekšrocība, ko redzam pret klasisko derīguma termiņu, jo arguments būtu, derīguma termiņš ir uzdrukāts, viss kārtībā. Bet derīguma termiņš nekādā veidā nepastāsta, kā tā zivs ir bijusi glabāta. Ja viņi ir pa ceļam vesta ar ķerrā, bez saldēšanas, tad viņa būs sabojāsies krietni ātrāk, nekā ir derīguma termiņš uzrakstīts. No otras puses, ja viņa ir glabāta korekti, tas derīguma termiņš arī varbūt nav korekts. Viņš vienkārši pasaka, ka šeit būs droši, ja mēs viņu metīsim ārā. Bet tikpat labi viņa ir lietojama vēl varbūt nedēļu," analizē Artis Kinēns. "Pateicoties tam, ka nav tāda ātra kontroles mehānisma, es teikšu diezgan šausmīgu statistiku, ka aptuveni 30% no saražotās zivju produkcijas tiek izmesta ārā tikai tāpēc, ka nenonāk līdz galapatērētājam laikā." Daļa šīs produkcijas noteikti vēl būtu lietojama, bet termiņš saka, ka ir jāmet ārā. "Inovācija būtu tāda, ka, ja mēs varam šo ieviest kā standarta praksi, ka mums ir iepakojums, kurā iekšpusē ir uzlīme, kurā ir iestrādāts luminofors, tad to no ārpuses var noskenēt vai nu ar kādu lasītājierīci, ideālā gadījumā mobilo telefonu, un tas pasaka: zivs vēl ir derīga tik un tik ilgu laiku," skaidro Artis Kinēns. Pētnieks norāda, ka šobrīd mērķis ir topošo sensoru un iespējas ar to veikt svaiguma mērījumus piedāvāt pārtikas izplatītājiem un pārtikas veikaliem, lai viņiem būtu iespēja labāk kontrolēt savu produktu plūsmu, lai tā samazinātu atkritumu rašanos.  "Viņu gadījumā tā ir mobilā telefona aplikācija, visticamāk, kura nofotografē uzlīmīti, kas ir  iekšpusē pie zivs pielikta, un no tās fotogrāfijas viņš nolasa zivs svaigumu," atzīst Artis Kinēns. "Ja runājam par patērētājiem, tad pielietojums varētu būt ļoti līdzīgs - ar mobilo  telefonu nofotografē zivi veikalā un lietotne pasaka, ka zivs ir derīga vai nav." Zinātnes ziņas Ziemā vērts vakariņas ēst agrāk Laikā, kad ārā agri paliek tumšs, izrādās, ka ir vērts pārskatīt mūsu vakariņu paradumus un ieturēt maltīti agrāk! Pētnieki no Džona Hopkinsa universitātes analizējuši sasitību starp mūsu iekšējo pulksteni un vielmaiņu un secinājuši, ka ēdot vakariņas ziemā agrāk, mēs palīdzam savam organismam labāk pārstrādāt uzņemto pārtiku. Arī dzīvnieki var sirgt ar hiperaktivitātes sindromu Cilvēku pasaulē ir tik ierasti runāt par tādām diagnozēm kā autisms, arī uzmanības deficīta un  un izskatās,  ka arī daži mūsu mājdzīvnieki varētu sirgt ar līdzīgām kaitēm. Tas tāpēc, ka pie vainas abos gadījumos ir strukturālas un ķīmiskas izmaiņas smadzenēs. Pētnieki noskaidorjuši, ka, piemēram, suņiem, žurkām, pelēm un atsevišķiem primātiem var būt izmaiņas gēnos, kas saistītas ar hiperaktīvu un impulsīvu uzvedību. Regulāra mikroplastmasas lietošana paātrina aterosklerozes veidošanos Kalifornijas universitātes pētnieki papildinājuši mūsu zināšanas par mikroplastmasas ietekmi uz cilvēka organismu. Eksperimentos ar pelēm, atklāts, ka regulāra mikroplastmasas lietošana paātrina aterosklerozes veidošanos. Ateroskleroze ir stāvoklis, kad sašaurinās artērijas, radot lielāku insulta vai infarkta risku. Te gan jāpiebilst, ka pētījumā šādus rezultatus uzrādīja tieši peļu tēviņi nevis mātītes. Abu dzimumu peles baroja ar zemam holesterīnam labvēlīgu diētu, taču regulāri deviņu mēnešu laikā pelēm tika iebarota arī mikroplastmasa atbilstoši dzīvnieku svaram.  E.coli baktērijas izplatība ir tikpat ātra kā cūku mērim Tīmekļa vietnē “ScienceDaily” ar pirmpublikāciju zinātnes žurnālā “Nature Communications” nonācis raksts par kādu zarnu baktērijas jeb Escherichia coli īpašību. Zinātnieki no Somijas un Norvēģijas pirmo reizi ir novērtējuši, cik ātri E.coli baktērijas var izplatīties starp cilvēkiem, un, kā izrādās, viens šīs baktērijas celms izplatās tikpat ātri kā cūku gripa. Pētnieku darbs piedāvā jaunu veidu, kā uzraudzīt un kontrolēt pret antibiotikām izturīgas jeb rezistentas baktērijas. Antimikrobiālā jeb antibiotiku rezistence ir aktuāla problēma veselības aprūpē, un tieši šonedēļ līdz 24. novembrim aizrit Pasaules antimikrobiālās rezistences izpratnes nedēļa. Tāpēc par baktērijas izplatību, bīstamību un, protams, ārvalstu pētnieku paveikto saruna ar Eiropas Pārtikas nekaitīguma iestādes valdes priekšsēdētāju, kā arī Pārtikas drošības, dzīvnieku veselības un vides zinātniskā institūta “BIOR” zinātniskās padomes priekšsēdētāju Aivaru Bērziņu.   

Los genes son, en cierta manera, una forma de escritura. No son textos que "alguien" le escriba a "otro alguien", pero sí contienen unas valiosas instrucciones que las células leen continuamente, que reparan cuando se dañan y que copian para pasarlas a sus descendientes. Antes de que existieran los humanos, mucho antes de que nadie pensara en dejarle una nota al vecino, ya se usaba un soporte físico para guardar información: el soporte es el ADN, y la información, los genes. Pero para poder leer el ADN hace falta un diccionario: algo que nos diga cuáles son las palabras y qué es lo que significan. Ese diccionario existe, y es el mismo para todos los seres vivos de nuestro planeta. Lo llamamos "código genético", y permite leer las cadenas de ADN como secuencias de aminoácidos. Es, seguramente, el diccionario más antiguo que conocemos: uno que traduce los genes a proteínas. En el episodio de hoy os hablamos de este diccionario, y lo hacemos a cuenta de una investigación recién publicada en la revista Science: mediante ingeniería genética se ha creado una bacteria que no usa todas las "palabras" del diccionario. Siete entradas del código genético han quedado libres en esta "bacteria artificial", y esto abre la puerta a estudiar la vida no como es, sino como podría ser. Si queréis leer el artículo, se trata de "Escherichia coli with a 57-codon genetic code", de Wesley Robertson et al.

A new international study involving researchers from Durham University has revealed that climate change is accelerating the rate of development and global abundances of antibiotic resistance bacteria in soils. The findings, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, highlight a new and deeply concerning less seen consequence of global warming to public health. Rising antibiotic resistance in soils The study shows that rising global temperatures are significantly increasing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors in soil microbial communities. These genes can make bacteria less susceptible to the effects of antibiotics, increasing the probability of acquiring antibiotic resistant infections, including from dangerous pathogens. The research, which integrates field data, metagenomic analysis, and laboratory experiments, provides compelling evidence that warmer conditions will favour the survival and evolution of pathogenic and other bacteria that are resistant to therapeutic treatment - bacteria that often originate in the natural environment. Professor David W. Graham of Durham University, co-author of this study, a water engineer and expert in antibiotic resistance, says "the study exemplifies how closely connected human health is with environmental change." This research provides compelling evidence that climate change is more than an environmental crisis, it also is impacting global antibiotic resistance due to warming. This research forms part of a growing body of evidence that environmental factors, including global warming, are playing a crucial role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance. It underscores the importance of a 'One Health' approach that recognises the interconnected nature of human, animal, and environmental health. Professor Graham said: "Most people do not realise that most of the pathogens that cause infectious disease humans actually originate from the environment. "Therefore, increasing resistance in soils will almost certainly translate into increased levels of untreatable infections in human and veterinary practice. This is why One Health solutions are important". The study found that the impact of warming will be more pronounced in colder regions. In the past, colder temperatures normally kill off bacteria, especially human pathogens, but as temperatures increases, such strains will survive longer, which this study shows. As temperatures rise, bacteria also appear to changing on an evolutionary level, with an increased probability of genetic changes and the appearance of 'new' pathogens to which no antibiotic options exist. Professor Graham said: "The relationship between climate and antibiotic resistance was predicted in the 2023 United Nations report: Bracing for Superbugs: Strengthening environmental action in the One Health response to antimicrobial resistance and the new work here provides concrete evidence for that prediction." The research team found that even modest increases in temperature can trigger significant rises in the abundance of ARGs, particularly in bacterial groups such as Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, which are known carriers of resistance and virulence genes. Laboratory experiments with Escherichia coli confirmed that elevated temperatures lead to increased expression of antibiotic resistance genes, including those involved in efflux pumps and stress response proteins, which are key mechanisms in bacterial defence. Moreover, machine learning models used in the study project that, under high-emission climate scenarios, global levels of soil ARGs could rise by up to 23 percent by the end of this century. The researchers warn that climate-driven changes to microbial communities could undermine efforts to control antibiotic resistance and may lead to greater risks of infection from previous antibiotic-susceptable bacteria from soils and, more importantly, an increased probability new pathogen 'jumping' from environmental sources ...

Las infecciones de las vías urinarias mas habituales son las producidas por bacterias, aunque también pueden presentarse a causa de virus, hongos o parásitos. De muchas de ellas es responsable la bacteria llamada Escherichia coli, que normalmente vive en el intestino. Infección de orina o del tracto urinario son expresiones que engloban diferentes enfermedades infecciosas (producidas por un microorganismo o germen) y que afectan a cualquier parte del sistema urinario (riñones, uréteres, vejiga urinaria o uretra).

Contributor: Alec Coston MD Educational Pearls: Causes of seizures in a fairly well-appearing child with diarrhea: Electrolyte abnormalities: hypocalcemia, hyponatremia Also hyperkalemia which causes arrhythmias and syncope - can appear like seizures Hypoglycemia If the child has diarrhea and appears very sick, differential diagnosis may include: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS): simultaneous occurrence of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury Typically caused by Shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli (also known as EHEC, or enterohemorragic E. coli) One of the main causes of acute kidney injury in children Toxic ingestions such as salicylates, lead, or iron In this case, the child had a seizure but appeared well and was afebrile: Consult with neurology led to a diagnosis of benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) First identified in 1982 in Japan Viral gastroenteritis with diarrhea and convulsions but does not include fever, severe dehydration, or electrolyte abnormalities Uncommon illness caused by rotavirus and norovirus pathogens Criteria for discharge is similar to a febrile seizure - the patient had one seizure that lasted less than 15 minutes and he quickly returned to his baseline, so he was able to be safely discharged home This diagnosis does not predispose him to epilepsy later in life References Lee YS, Lee GH, Kwon YS.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Dr. Tim Harris about his book, In Pursuit of Unicorns: A Journey Through 50 Years of Biotechnology. Modern biotechnology―genetic engineering and cell manipulation―originated with the 1973 demonstration that genes from different organisms could be recombined and propagated in Escherichia coli. More than 50 years on, biotech is now a science that defines the 21st century. While still a young scientist, Tim Harris committed himself to this emerging industry. Now an accomplished investigator who became an astute, seasoned, and successful biotech business executive, he has written a captivating memoir chronicling the birth and maturation of the industry that now touches everyone's lives. He combines accounts of scientific successes and failures with a personal story of ambition, challenge, and discovery. An accessible foray into the scientific community, this is one that is sure to whet the readers appetite for further study. Especially those that may find the subject daunting.
