By Tarun Sai LomteMar 27 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine reported growing cases of Candida auris in North Italy.
The study and its findings The present study described the geographic, demographic, and temporal characteristics of C. auris infection cases in Italy. They conducted a descriptive analysis of C. auris cases from July 2019 to December 2022. Confirmed cases were infections identified by polymerase chain reaction or matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight analysis of clinical samples.
The index case had no overseas travel or hospitalization history. All subjects were hospitalized, with a majority requiring intensive care. Nearly 34% of patients presented no C. auris-related symptoms; 103 subjects had COVID-19 or tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 . Some cases had neurologic disorders , sepsis , and cardiac/respiratory disease .

Point-of-Care Diagnostic for Trichomonas vaginalis, the Most Prevalent, Non-Viral Sexually Transmitted InfectionA point-of-care (POC) diagnostic is needed for both women and men to establish universal screening and surveillance for the number one, non-viral sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. We developed a POC diagnostic for this STI using the MedMira Rapid Vertical Flow (RVF®) Technology test cartridge with a membrane that includes a Vertical procedural/reagent control line (referred to as CVL) and spotted with 1 µg of a 72.4-kDa truncated version of α-actinin called ACT::SOE3. This protein is a specific diagnostic target for antibody in sera of individuals with trichomoniasis. Serum antibody to ACT::SOE3 is a positive reaction with the test spot. Specificity of ACT::SOE3 was revealed with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) generated to ACT::SOE3. Addition of negative control serum with MAb 67B reactive to ACT::SOE3 shows detection of both ACT::SOE3 and the CVL. Only positive sera of individuals had antibody reactive with ACT::SOE3 and detected the presence of the spot and the CVL. Negative control sera were unreactive with ACT::SOE3 and only showed the presence of the CVL. Importantly, to show proof-of-principle for POC application, ACT::SOE3 was detected with the positive patient sera spiked with whole blood. Finally, packaged cartridges stored with desiccant packs at 37 °C for one year gave identical results with the positive and negative human sera. Our results show the validity of this new POC serodiagnostic for this STI.
