Superinfection of eczema with multiple Acinetobacter species.
Sir, The most common bacteria that colonizes and aggravates atopic dermatitis is Staphylococcus aureus, although other bacteria act similarly (1). Interestingly, Acinetobacter species are rarely cultured from atopic dermatitis, although one study found that 40% of health volunteers carried Acinetobacter species on their bodies, with A. lwoffii being the most common (2). We report a child with a...
متن کاملGenetic diversity and cross-species transmission of kobuviruses in Vietnam
Cross-species transmission of viruses poses a sustained threat to public health. Due to increased contact between humans and other animal species the possibility exists for cross-species transmissions and ensuing disease outbreaks. By using conventional PCR amplification and next generation sequencing, we obtained 130 partial or full genome kobuvirus sequences from humans in a sentinel cohort i...
متن کاملFrequent cross-species transmission of parvoviruses among diverse carnivore hosts.
Although parvoviruses are commonly described in domestic carnivores, little is known about their biodiversity in nondomestic species. A phylogenetic analysis of VP2 gene sequences from puma, coyote, gray wolf, bobcat, raccoon, and striped skunk revealed two major groups related to either feline panleukopenia virus ("FPV-like") or canine parvovirus ("CPV-like"). Cross-species transmission was co...
متن کاملCross-species transmission of canine distemper virus—an update
Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a pantropic morbillivirus with a worldwide distribution, which causes fatal disease in dogs. Affected animals develop dyspnea, diarrhea, neurological signs and profound immunosuppression. Systemic CDV infection, resembling distemper in domestic dogs, can be found also in wild canids (e.g. wolves, foxes), procyonids (e.g. raccoons, kinkajous), ailurids (e.g. red p...
متن کاملHIV superinfection.
Worldwide, 16 cases of HIV-1 superinfection in humans have been reported since 2002. Superinfection is defined as the reinfection of an individual who already has an established infection with a heterologous HIV strain. Controversy exists surrounding superinfection, because it has implications concerning our understanding of worldwide HIV diversity, individual immunity and disease progression, ...
