Eligible participants with a Nugent score of 4-10 (indicating intermediate vaginal microbiota or bacterial vaginosis) completed 7 days of oral metronidazole and were randomly assigned (2:1) to LACTIN-V (2 × 10&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt; colony forming units per dose) or placebo (the substrate alone) via an independently generated randomisation sequence. Pharmacists, participants, and investigators were masked to treatment assignment. The study product (or placebo) was dosed daily for 5 days in week 1, then twice per week for an additional 3 weeks. Adverse events were evaluated 4 weeks and 8 weeks after starting the study product. Vaginal swabs (for 16S rRNA sequencing of the vaginal microbiome) and cervicovaginal lavage (for Luminex analysis of immune markers) were collected before metronidazole treatment, before study product (or placebo) administration, and at the week 4 and week 8 follow-up visits. An endocervical cytobrush for flow cytometry analysis of immune cell populations (including CD3&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;CD4&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; T cells, and presence of CCR5 and the activation markers CD38 or HLA-DR) was collected before study product use and at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after study product use. The coprimary outcomes for the trial were (1) safety and acceptability of LACTIN-V, as measured by number of adverse events and a validated questionnaire; (2) presence of a Lactobacillus-dominant vaginal microbial community by 16S rRNA gene sequencing at week 4 and week 8; and (3) comparison of change in genital tract inflammatory markers from before metronidazole treatment to week 4 and week 8 between groups. Safety analyses were done in the intention-to-treat population and efficacy analyses in a modified intent-to-treat population (ie, excluding one person assigned placebo who erroneously received LACTIN-V).

Participants in the PREVENT-19 trial included healthy adolescents aged 12–17 years and with no history of laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. They were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive either the NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax, Gaithersburg, MD, USA) vaccine (immediate NVX-CoV2373 group) or placebo (delayed NVX-CoV2373 group) on days 0 and 21 (initial series). After 2 months, in a crossover series, participants received two doses, 21 days apart, of the intervention that they did not receive in their initial series. Participants at 47 of the PREVENT-19 sites were invited to participate in the SNIFF study and self-collect nasal swabs at home twice weekly for SARS-CoV-2 testing to assess vaccine efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 infection. This primary outcome was defined as the first identification of SARS-CoV-2 detected by RT-PCR, regardless of symptoms, with onset within 4 weeks after the second dose of the initial vaccination series until the second dose of the crossover series. Secondary outcomes were vaccine efficacy against asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, durability of vaccine efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 infection, and durability of vaccine efficacy against asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic infections. Outcomes were analysed in the modified intention-to-treat population, which included all participants without previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and was restricted to participants enrolled within 4 weeks of the second dose of the primary (primary analysis population) or crossover (post-crossover analysis population) series.

Building on the first paper in this two-part Series, which detailed the microbiological aspects of tattoo-related infections over the past two centuries from 1820 to 2023, this second paper describes the patterns, causes, and other related epidemiological factors of these infections. Since 2000, bacterial outbreaks, particularly those caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria, have increased, prompting a re-evaluation of tattoos as a serious public health risk. Insufficient hygiene practices have been the primary cause of microbial infections, with contaminated tattoo inks also contributing substantially, leading to 11 outbreaks and subsequent ink recalls. Although rare, the tattooing process can occasionally lead to life-threatening infections and fatalities. Tattoos by both professional and non-professional artists were associated with infections, suggesting that regulated environments do not necessarily eliminate risk. Additionally, individuals with compromised immune systems, especially those with HIV, were particularly vulnerable to infections such as <em>Leishmania</em>. Although permanent make-up is often perceived as safer than conventional tattoos, infections still occur, with 11 cases reported since 2010. Furthermore, polymicrobial infections involving multiple pathogens have posed challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Overall, these insights highlight the historical and emerging patterns of tattoo-related infections and can inform the development of more effective public health guidelines, enhance preventive measures, and guide future research on reducing the risks associated with tattoos.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46633,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Microbe","volume":"6 4","pages":"Article 101006"},"PeriodicalIF":20.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142819510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response, public health agencies in the UK have made smallpox vaccines available to individuals at the highest risk of infection. With mpox cases still being detected globally, novel tools are required to aid with diagnosis, serosurveillance, and the evaluation of immune responses following infection and immunisation with current and new vaccine candidates. Here, we describe the development of a multiplexed immunoassay, MpoxPlex, able to measure IgG responses to 12 <em>Orthopoxvirus</em> antigens concurrently and distinguish between responses to infection and vaccination.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Using the Luminex (DiaSorin, Saluggia, Italy) platform, antibody responses to vaccinia virus (VACV) antigens B5, A27, and A33 and monkeypox virus (MPXV) antigens E8, B6, B2, M1, A27, A35, H3, A29, and A5 were assessed in serum from individuals after MPXV infection (n=24) and after vaccination (n=75) with modified VACV Ankara-Bavarian Nordic. Assay characteristics and cutoffs were calculated by fitting receiver operating characteristic curves to the median fluorescence intensities of these positive samples and negative samples that were run alongside (n=435). P values were calculated using non-parametric Mann–Whitney, Kruskal–Wallis, and Dunn’s multiple comparisons tests.</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>Using the results from a combination of eight antigens, we were able to distinguish samples as either post-vaccination or post-infection from negative samples with a sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 95%. IgG responses to MPXV antigen A27 were able to distinguish post-MPXV infection with a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 97%. VACV antigen A27 and MPXV antigens A29 and A5 provided little diagnostic advantage.</div></div><div><h3>Interpretation</h3><div>With additional benefits over current serological assays, we believe this assay will provide substantial insight into the current global outbreak of mpox. MpoxPlex shows use for both serosurveillance and immunological studies of vaccination and infection.</div></div><div><h3>Funding</h3><div>Grant-in-aid funding to the Emerging Pathogen Serology Group at Porton Down, UK Health Security Agency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46633,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Microbe","volume":"6 4","pages":"Article 100987"},"PeriodicalIF":20.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143013605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
