A stable systemic infection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in cynomolgus macaques produces extended window for therapeutic intervention by Adrienne J. Gamblin, Max C. Peterson, Samantha S. Simon, Tatyana Orekov, Erica Penn, Gabriella Shumyatsky, Grishma Patel, Amanda Womer, Helal Kabir, Darnell Bushby, Jeanne Muench, Karen Feliciano, Fabian Paz, Brad Finneyfrock, Anthony Cook, Swagata Kar

“…Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections, now a leading cause of bloodstream infections worldwide, pose significant challenges due to their rapid progression, high mortality rates, and limited therapeutic options. While there are prevalent small animal models of experimental MRSA infection, there has been minimal development of larger mammalian models capable of recapitulating clinical aspects of human systemic MRSA infection.MethodsFollowing a pilot study to determine the optimal dose and route to establish systemic MRSA infection, we challenged six cynomolgus macaques with 109 colony-forming units MRSA (lineage USA300) via intravenous (IV) route. …”

Efficacy of Intravitreal Brolucizumab Switch in Pachychoroid Neovasculopathy by Nicolò Ribarich, Marco Battista, Lisa Checchin, Riccardo Sacconi, Francesco Bandello, Giuseppe Querques

“…Conclusion In our cohort of patients with PNV, switching to brolucizumab demonstrated a significant anatomical response, leading to a reduction in exudative features. While BCVA remained stable, the number of brolucizumab injections required to resolve SRF emerged as a predictor of final visual outcome, suggesting that an earlier switch in non-responders might optimize anatomical results. …”
