The presence of fungal disease together with the presence of multiple infections during follow-up was associated with an increased risk of death (P less then .001). Conclusions The clinical profile of HSCT-related infections in this cohort suggests that prognosis in allogeneic HSCT is influenced by the source of stem cells (CB having worse prognosis), presence of acute GVHD and complications arising from fungal infections. The appropriate management of these factors has the potential to improve the overall prognosis rates in pediatric allogeneic HSCT recipients.Aims Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a sporulating, acidophilic bacterial species which spoils acidic beverages such as fruit juices. This work aims to quantify the heat resistance of A. acidoterrestris spores and their recovery potential as a function of heating and recovery media pH. Methods and results The heat treatments were carried out with the strain of A. acidoterrestris Ad 746 in Bacillus acidoterrestris thermophilic medium. The pH of the heating medium from pH 7 to pH 2 nonsignificantly reduced the heat resistance. However, the pH levels of the recovery media strongly affected the apparent heat resistance of this strain. The maximum heat resistance was found when the pH was 4·70 and decreased when the pH decreased to pH 2·8, close to the minimum growth pH and when the recovery medium pH increased to pH 5·3. Conclusion The heating medium pH has a slight effect on the spore heat resistances of this acidophilic species. However, the pH of the recovery media strongly affected the apparent heat resistance of this strain. Significance and impact of the study The obtained parameters quantifying the heat resistance of A. acidoterrestris spores are tools to optimize the heat treatments and to control its development.The prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
