Microbiological spectrum of pathogens in cardiac surgery patients in the intensive care unit by К.П. Чиж, Т.А. Малишева, А.П. Мазур

“…The presence of hospital-acquired flora in patients prolongs their stay in the ICU, increases the duration of antibiotic therapy, and treatment costs. The occurrence of such an infection is the result of a complex interaction of pathogenic (virulence, antibiotic resistance), patients’ (comorbidities, acute illnesses, emergency surgery), and treatment factors (invasive devices), and the work of the health care system (staffing, preventive measures). …”

Aquificae overcomes competition by archaeal thermophiles, and crowding by bacterial mesophiles, to dominate the boiling vent-water of a Trans-Himalayan sulfur-borax spring. by Nibendu Mondal, Subhajit Dutta, Sumit Chatterjee, Jagannath Sarkar, Mahamadul Mondal, Chayan Roy, Ranadhir Chakraborty, Wriddhiman Ghosh

“…A large proportion of these genes being attributable to Aquificae, and Proteobacteria (very few were ascribed to Archaea), it could be worth exploring in the future whether antibiosis helped the Aquificae overcome niche overlap with other thermophiles (especially those belonging to Archaea), besides exacerbating the bioenergetic costs of thermal endurance for the mesophilic intruders of the ecosystem.…”
