Research Symposium
Background: The identification of Staphylococcus schleiferi subsp. coagulans (recently reclassified as S. coagulans) was part of a previous retrospective study on antibiotic resistance in urinary tract infections (UTIs) in older adults conducted at a Tamaulipas state hospital in 2023 (Esparza 2023, unpublished data). S. coagulans is an emerging human pathogen, initially associated with veterinary infections, particularly dermatitis and otitis in dogs. Like other Staphylococcus species, it is known for its biofilm-forming ability, which enhances its persistence and resistance to treatment. Recent studies have linked S. coagulans to severe human infections, including endocarditis, meningitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, particularly in patients with …

Chronic Guillain-Barré Syndrome From Misdiagnosed Lyme Disease, Carlos H. Cisneros Jr, Alberto E. Almeida
MEDI 9331 Scholarly Activities Clinical Years
Lyme disease (borreliosis) is caused by transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi from deer ticks in the United States. Neurological symptoms can manifest in the early disseminated stage of the disease and have the worst involvement in the late dissemination stage. Few, but important case reports exist of patients experiencing disseminated Lyme with associated Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). GBS manifests as an ascending flaccid paralysis with additional sensory deficits and is characterized as an immune-mediated polyneuropathy attacking the peripheral nervous system. A college-aged, wheelchair bound, quadriplegic female presented to the clinic to establish care in October 2023. She reported being bitten by a …

Understanding The Patterns Of Distribution And Abundance Of Lyme Disease Carrying Ticks And Their Hosts, Julio Ruiz
Honors Theses
Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgodorferi and spreads to their hosts by the bites of infected Ixodes scapularis ticks. In the United States, Lyme disease is typically found in the northeast but in recent years the disease has begun to be found further south and west than previously before. Yet, today, little information can be found about the patters of distribution and abundance of ticks and their host. The main goal of this research work was to expand the knowledge of the abundance and distribution of ticks and host. Based on tick collection data obtained from Maikis …
