Treatment with add-on IVIg in Myositis Early In the diSease course May be sUperior to Steroids alone for reaching CLinical improvEment (TIME IS MUSCLE): study protocol of a phase-2 double-blind placebo-controlled randomised trial.
Kamperman RG, Bogaards JA, Evers SW, Walter HAW, de Visser M, de Borgie C, Colen-de Koning JCA, Verhamme C, Maas M, Eftimov F, van Schaik IN, van der Kooi AJ, Raaphorst J
Introduction: For idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) ('myositis') standard initial treatment is high-dosed glucocorticoids, which results in relatively slow improvement of muscle strength. Early immunosuppression or modulation by intensive treatment ('hit-early, hit-hard') may induce faster reduction of disease activity and prevent chronic disability due to disease-induced structural muscle damage. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in addition to standard glucocorticoid...

The glutathione import system satisfies the Staphylococcus aureus nutrient sulfur requirement and promotes interspecies competition.
Lensmire JM, Wischer MR, Kraemer-Zimpel C, Kies PJ, Sosinski L, Ensink E, Dodson JP, Shook JC, Delekta PC, Cooper CC, Havlichek DH, Mulks MH, Lunt SY, Ravi J, Hammer ND
Sulfur is an indispensable element for bacterial proliferation. Prior studies demonstrated that the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus utilizes glutathione (GSH) as a source of nutrient sulfur; however, mechanisms of GSH acquisition are not defined. Here, we identify a five-gene locus comprising a putative ABC-transporter and predicted γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (ggt) that promotes S. aureus proliferation in medium supplemented with either reduced or oxidized GSH (GSSG) as the sole source of nu...

Growth in a biofilm promotes conjugation of a <i>bla</i> <sub>NDM-1</sub>-bearing plasmid between <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> strains.
Element SJ, Moran RA, Beattie E, Hall RJ, Hall RJ, van Schaik W, Buckner MMC
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing problem, especially in Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae such as Klebsiella pneumoniae. Horizontal transfer of conjugative plasmids contributes to AMR gene dissemination. Bacteria such as K. pneumoniae commonly exist in biofilms, yet most studies focus on planktonic cultures. Here we studied the transfer of a multi-drug resistance plasmid in planktonic and biofilm populations of K. pneumoniae. We determined plasmid transfer from a clinical isolate, CPE1...

Glycosaminoglycans and fucoidan have a protective effect on experimental glomerulonephritis.
Buijsers B, Maciej-Hulme M, Jacobs M, Bebber MB, de Graaf M, Salmenov R, Parr N, Rabelink TJ, Nijenhuis T, van der Vlag J
Background: The glomerular endothelial glycocalyx is degraded during inflammation. The glycocalyx plays a pivotal role in endothelial function and is involved in many processes including binding of chemokines and cytokines, leukocyte trafficking, and preventing proteinuria. HS-based therapeutics are a promising novel class of anti-inflammatory drugs to restore a compromised endothelial glycocalyx under inflammatory conditions. Recently, we demonstrated that treatment with HS extracted from unsti...
