Low microbial diversity, elevated primary bile acids (BA), and low secondary BA concentrations favor germination of C. difficile spores into toxin-producing bacteria and are believed to increase rCDI risk. Greater understanding of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome in rCDI may inform management of the disease. We describe a post hoc comparison of GI microbiome and bile acid profiles between patients with frCDI and mrCDI in a Phase 3 open-label trial, ECOSPOR IV, of fecal microbiota spores, live-brpk (VOWST®; VOS, formerly SER-109), an orally-administered live microbiome therapeutic. Methods Patients received VOS following symptom resolution after standard-of-care antibiotics. Pre-treatment baseline (within 3 days following antibiotic completion) and week 1 post-dosing stool samples were collected for whole metagenomic sequencing and metabolomics. Diversity was calculated from MetaPhlAn2 species profiles. Concentrations of primary and secondary BAs were measured via targeted LC-MS/MS. Results rCDI rates through week 8 were similarly low in both frCDI and mrCDI patients (6.5% vs. 9.7%, respectively). Baseline microbial diversity was similarly low between frCDI and mrCDI subgroups (p>0.05). Diversity and secondary BA concentrations increased in both subgroups, whereas primary BA concentrations declined following VOS dosing, leading to few differences between subgroups at Week 1. Conclusions These data suggest commonalities in microbiome disruption in patients with frCDI and mrCDI that contribute to recurrence and suggest that antibiotics followed by a live microbiome therapy may be an optimal treatment strategy for rCDI, regardless of number of prior CDI recurrences.","PeriodicalId":501010,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Infectious Diseases","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144763275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifying novel host-directed therapeutic targets may improve sepsis outcomes. Methods Six nonhuman primates were infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae to induce septic shock and provided supportive care for up to 72 hours. Flow cytometry was used to characterize whole blood neutrophils (WBNs) and low-density neutrophils (LDNs) at time (T0), T6, T24, and T48-hours post-infection; and postmortem examination (i.e. necropsy). Dimensional reduction with clustering via FlowSOM and traditional gating strategies were used to compare WBNs to LDNs and delineate spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) expression across neutrophils subsets. We measured soluble biomarkers of end-organ dysfunction and neutrophil activation and quantified SYK and myeloperoxidase in tissue. Results At T6, we identified populations of active immature WBNs and a population of LDNs not detected at baseline. At T24, neutrophil heterogeneity increased across WBNs and LDNs with differential expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO). Compared to WBNs, LDNs were more activated with increased MPO expression. At T6, SYK expression surged in WBNs and LDNs and SYK+WBNs and LDNs expressed higher levels of MPO and lactoferrin compared to SYK- neutrophils. Circulating levels of SYK+LDNs significantly correlated with serum creatinine levels, indicative of acute kidney injury; prolonged prothrombin time and decreased fibrinogen, indicative of consumptive coagulopathy; and SYK expression in tissues.

Elevated SYK expression in WBNs and LDNs correlates with end-organ dysfunction, highlighting SYK as a potential therapeutic target in bacterial sepsis.","PeriodicalId":501010,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Infectious Diseases","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144755714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although widely present in the environment, its role in harboring multidrug-resistant (MDR) and hypervirulent strains (hvKp) remains insufficiently characterized. Methods This study assessed the prevalence, genomic diversity, and pathogenic potential of K. pneumoniae isolated from surface waters in southern Taiwan. A total of 62 sites were sampled, yielding 68 environmental isolates. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS), virulence phenotyping, in vivo infection models, and conjugation assays were used to evaluate resistance, virulence, and gene transfer potential. Results K. pneumoniae was detected at 91.9% of sampled sites. Among 68 isolates, 7.35% were MDR, and virulence-associated phenotypes were common: 26.47% exhibited serum resistance, 13.24% anti-phagocytic activity, 11.76% hypermucoviscosity, 22.06% strong biofilm formation, and 48.53% intestinal cell adhesion. WGS revealed 59 sequence types and 48 capsular types, indicating a high level of genetic diversity among environmental isolates. Hypervirulent clones KL1-ST23 and KL2-ST373 were identified and confirmed to be pathogenic in mice. Based on genomic and in vivo data, hvKp was detected in 5.88% of isolates. Phylogenetic analysis showed close relatedness to clinical reference strains NTUH-K2044 and MGH78578. Conjugation experiments demonstrated successful ciprofloxacin resistance transfer. Conclusions These findings provide evidence that environmental surface waters can serve as reservoirs for antimicrobial resistance and hypervirulence in K. pneumoniae. They highlight the need for integrated environmental surveillance and One Health strategies to address this emerging public health threat.","PeriodicalId":501010,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Infectious Diseases","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144755727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since 2014, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) have been recommended for U.S. adults aged ≥65 years; however, effectiveness of PCVs against all-cause pneumonia hospitalization among adults living in LTC remains unclear. Methods We used Medicare Fee-for-Service claims data to construct an open cohort of beneficiaries aged ≥65 years between September 2014 and December 2019. We estimated 13-valent PCV (PCV13) vaccine effectiveness (VE) by comparing rates of pneumonia hospitalization among PCV13-exposed and PCV13-unexposed time during LTC stays. Discrete-time logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to estimate VE, incorporating time-varying exposures and covariates. Results Among 3,485,071 beneficiaries meeting the eligibility criteria, the proportion vaccinated with PCV13 increased from 1.1% to 52.7% during the study period. The characteristics of beneficiaries with shorter LTC stays differed from those with longer LTC stays: a lower proportion of beneficiaries aged ≥85 years (LTC stay ≤100 days vs >100 days: 38.5% vs. 48.2%), but a higher proportion with chronic medical conditions (71.4% vs 66.4%), immunocompromising conditions (36.6% vs. 25.2%), and recent hospitalizations (84.1% vs. 74.7%). VE of PCV13-only against all-cause pneumonia hospitalization was 3.8% (95% confidence interval 2.4%-5.2%) overall; 5.6% (3.9%-7.2%) for LTC stays ≤100 days and 0.3% (-2.1%- 2.77%) for LTC stays >100 days. Conclusions PCV13 reduced the risk of pneumonia hospitalization among this population. Differences in beneficiary characteristics could explain differences in VE by length of LTC stay.","PeriodicalId":501010,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Infectious Diseases","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144763276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
