Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Introduction: Infectious endocarditis of the tricuspid valve is a common complication of intravenous drug use. Endocarditis caused by viridans streptococci can lead to heart valve vegetations which may be life threatening due to the potential for embolism and obstruction. Management of large valvular vegetations is often difficult due to the risks involved with open heart surgery, especially in patients with comorbid conditions. The AngioVac® device has been shown in rare cases to be effective at debulking vegetations without the need for invasive surgery.
Case Presentation: We present a patient with a history of intravenous heroin use disorder, hepatitis C, spinal …
Effectiveness Of Stabilized Hypochlorous Acid In Acute Peritonitis Treatment: A Murine Surgical Study, Benjamin Michael Pomeroy
Effectiveness Of Stabilized Hypochlorous Acid In Acute Peritonitis Treatment: A Murine Surgical Study, Benjamin Michael Pomeroy
MSU Graduate Theses
Peritonitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the mesothelial cells that line the peritoneal cavity and is commonly induced by bowel perforations. This medical emergency is treated through antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention followed by tissue irrigation (lavage). Acute treatments aim to remove the bacterial burden, however recurring peritoneal infections occur at high rates and contribute to patient morbidity. These recurring infections are likely due to the inability of lavage solutions to remove the entire massive intra-abdominal bacterial load due to intestinal perforation. Numerous antiseptic solutions and antibiotic additives have been evaluated in their ability to improve source control by abdominal …

- Prevotella bivia is an anaerobic, non-pigmented, Gram-negative bacillus species that is known to inhabit the human female vaginal tract and oral flora. It is most commonly associated with endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease.1, 2
- Rarely, P. bivia has been found in the nail bed, chest wall, intervertebral discs, and hip and knee joints.1 The bacteria has been linked to necrotizing fasciitis, osteomyelitis, or septic arthritis.3, 4
- Only 3 other reports have described P. bivia infections in the upper extremity with one patient requiring amputation2, and one with deep soft tissue infection requiring multiple debridements and extensive tenosynovectomy. …

Investigating The Pathogenesis Of Staphylococcus Aureus In Periprosthetic Joint Infections, Santiago L. Iglesias
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The most challenging complication after total joint replacement is the periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal bacterium and a human pathogen. It is responsible for more than half of the PJI. We demonstrated that synovial fluid has antimicrobial properties against S. aureus and the iron restriction is one of the mechanisms used for the host to prevent bacterial growth, and is even able to increase killing of S. aureus. We have shown a clear role of transferrin as a restrictive factor in synovial fluid that functions by iron starving the bacteria and sensitizing them to killing …

Changing Diagnostic Methods And Increased Detection Of Verotoxigenic Escherichia Coli, Ireland, Thomas Rice, Noreen Quinn, Roy D. Sleator, Brigid Lucey
Department of Biological Sciences Publications
The recent paradigm shift in infectious disease diagnosis from culture-based to molecular-based approaches is exemplified in the findings of a national study assessing the detection of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli infections in Ireland. The methodologic changes have been accompanied by a dramatic increase in detections of non-O157 verotoxigenic E. coli serotypes.
