Abstract

Recent media reports in the USA have raised concerns about dubbing Vibrio vulnificus as the "flesh-eating bacteria," which is traditionally associated with treptococcus pyogenes. This review aimed to explore V. vulnificus as an emerging pathogen, its role in human infections, and its association with necrotizing fasciitis in wound infections. A systematic review was conducted of articles published between 2013 and 2023, focusing on V. vulnificus and its role in human infections. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were rigorously applied. The search  identified 16 articles of which seven studies included in the review, with 77 V. vulnificus-induced necrotizing fasciitis cases reported over the past decade. Demographic and diagnostic data were analyzed, highlighting the need for further research due to regional variations. This comprehensive review highlights the emerging significance of V.vulnificus as a pathogen, particularly in the context of necrotizing fasciitis and emphasizes the need for region-specific research. Understanding V. vulnificus infection is crucial for timely intervention and improved public health outcomes.

Abstract

Yellow fever still represents a major public health threat in Africa largely due to inadequate vaccine supply, insufficient vaccine coverage, increase in people without of vaccination living in endemic areas and occupation of individuals. The aim of this study was to assess the acceptability to yellow fever vaccination among skilled and unskilled workers in selected African countries. This cross sectional online survey was carried out between 19 January 2022 and 31 December 2022, in five African countries (Cameroon, Egypt, Nigeria, Sudan and the Gambia). The responses to the survey were collected by Survey Monkey and the links were distributed via Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. Data were collected using self-administered structured questionnaire, and analysed. A total of 1340 respondents (601 skilled workers, 739 unskilled workers) participated in the survey of which 616 of them indicated had yellow fever vaccination. Proportion of the unskilled workers with history of vaccination was less than those of the skilled workers (35.5% vs 58.9%). Location (OR=31.04, p=0.000), age (OR=146.95, p=0.001), religion (OR=24.42, p=0.012), education (OR=116.41, p=0.001), marital status (OR=68.83, p=0.001) and monthly household income (OR=87.62, p=0.001) were significantly associated with acceptance to receive YF vaccine. In addition, more of the skilled workers were very willing to receive the YF vaccine compared to their unskilled counterparts (p0.001). This study suggests that unskilled workers are less likely to be vaccinated against yellow fever than skilled workers, hence the need for strategic public health interventions to reach this category of people in the society.

Abstract

A wound is a condition where tissue damage occurs due to disruption of tissue continuity caused by injury or surgery. Wound healing is a normal biological process in the human body which aims to restore the function and integrity of damaged tissue. In the process, wound healing involves cellular and biochemical responses, including antioxidants and cytokines, which occur locally and systemically. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine that plays a role in wound healing. It is produced by CD8+ and CD4+ T cells in an active state. In the wound healing process, IL-2 plays an important role in activating macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells and encouraging the proliferation of B cells and T cells. In this review, the role of the IL-2 in wound healing is discussed comprehensively.

Abstract

The skin, an environment for the microbiome, has different physical, chemical and physiological states depending on the its site and the individuals. Because of these differences, the community and ecosystem of the microbiome are different for each individual. The differences in these microbiome ecosystems are also determined by their genetic properties, such as demographics, gender, age, race, level of hygiene, lifestyle, and physical injuries. Little is known about the association of microbiome and aging in Asian population. This review aim to gather current knowledge on aging-related skin microbiome in Asian women, namely Korean, Chinese and Thai. Changes in microbiome was found to be not only age-related but also ethnicity-associated. Future study with larger sample size is warrant to further elucidate the association of aging and skin microbiome in Asian female population.

Abstract

Aeromonas veronii, a Gram-negative bacterium, thrives in aquatic environments and is linked to diseases in animals and humans. The primary aim of this review was to provide an extensive description of A. veronii as an infectious agent, focusing on its microbiological attributes, pathogenesis, distribution, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance. An exhaustive review of the available medical literature was conducted. Theoretical sources were scrutinized to determine the taxonomic and microbiological properties of A. veronii. The pathogenic characteristics of the bacterium were examined, with a special emphasis on virulence factors, epidemiology, zoonotic potential, and antimicrobial resistance. Additionally, pertinent data regarding the geographic distribution of A. veronii from various origins, encompassing the environment, farm animals, and clinical cases in humans, were synthesized. This investigation illuminated the significant microbiological traits of A. veronii, including its adaptability to various environmental conditions and its ability to persist in crucial sources of infection, such as poultry feces and processing water. In addition, specific A. veronii strains, along with other Aeromonas species, have been identified as emerging pathogens in foodborne disease outbreaks in developing nations, accentuating the importance of rigorous hygiene measures in food production and handling. The study underscored the opportunistic nature of A. veronii in immunocompromised individuals, emphasizing the necessity for active surveillance and stringent hygiene practices to mitigate exposure and transmission among vulnerable populations. Furthermore, the relevance of the virulence factors of A. veronii, including biofilm formation and the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes, was emphasized, underscoring the importance of ongoing research to understand and combat antimicrobial resistance in this bacterium.
