Nano-Curcumin at a concentration of 25µg/mL inhibited biofilm formation in 
  . The expression of regulatory genes was not affected by biofilm inhibitory concentrations of Nano-Curcumin.
 
  The antibiofilm mechanism of Curcumin is not related to the downregulation of regulatory systems of 
  and probably it prevents the formation of a complete biofilm structure.

  We conducted a real-world analysis of the effectiveness of different antibiotic regimens for bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacilli (CR-GNB) in a Chinese population.
 
  A retrospective observational study was conducted between January 2010 and December 2017. Patients with BSIs caused by CR-GNB confirmed by in vitro susceptibility tests were enrolled, and patient medical record data on antimicrobial agents and microbiological and clinical outcomes were extracted.
 
  A total of 175 individuals were included; 127 individuals (72.6%) received combination therapy (two or more antibiotics), while 48 individuals (27.4%) received monotherapy (single antibiotic). The all-cause 28-day mortality was 20.0%. Treatment success or presumed success rates were very similar between the monotherapy and combination therapy groups (58.3% versus 59.1%; P = 0.931). Combination therapy had a higher success rate trend than monotherapy in septic shock patients (40.7% versus 18.2%; P = 0.268). Improved therapeutic effects were observed in the active agent-containing group, although the differences were not significant.
 
  Combination therapy likely has better therapeutic effects on critical BSIs caused by CR-GNB than monotherapy. Choosing a proper active agent in an antimicrobial regime is relatively crucial to the ultimate treatment outcome.

  Invasive candidiasis (IC), a life-threatening fungal infection prevalent among hospitalized patients, has highly variable regional epidemiology. We conducted a multicenter surveillance study to investigate recent trends in species distribution and antifungal susceptibility patterns among IC-associated 
  spp. in Beijing, China, from 2016 to 2017.
 
  A total of 1496 non-duplicate 
  isolates, recovered from blood and other sterile body fluids of IC patients, were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry combined with ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region sequencing. Broth microdilution-based susceptibility testing using six antifungal agents was also conducted.
 
  was the most frequently isolated species (49.9%), followed by 
  (15.5%), 
  (14.7%) and 
  (14.2%). No significant differences in species distribution were observed when compared with a 2012-2013 dataset. Overall, the rates of susceptibility to fluconazole and voriconazole were hformation on local epidemiology that will be important for the selection of empirical antifungal agents and contributes to global assessments of antifungal resistance.
  Infections of 
  (
  ) are major threats to health, threats include diarrhoea, fever, acute intestinal inflammation, and cancer. Nevertheless, little information is available about the involvement of 
  in colon cancer etiology.
 
  The present study was designed to predict nuclear targeting of 
  proteins in the host cell through computational tools, including nuclear localization signal (NLS) mapper, Balanced Subcellular Localization predictor (BaCeILo), and Hum-mPLoc using next-generation sequencing data.
 
  Several gene expression-associated proteins of 
  have been predicted to target the host nucleus during intracellular infections. Nuclear targeting of 
  proteins can lead to competitive interactions between the host and pathogen proteins with similar cellular substrates, and it may have a possible involvement in colon cancer growth. Our results suggested that 
  releases its proteins within compartments of the host cell, where they act as a component of the host cell proteome. Protein targeting is possibly involved in colon cancer etiology during intracellular bacterial infection.
 
  The results of current in-silico study showed the potential involvement of 
  infection with alteration in normal functioning of host cell which act as possible factor to connect with the growth and development of colon cancer.

  , formerly known as one of the 
  group, is frequently associated with endocarditis. Current guidelines recommended diagnostic work-up for endocarditis among patients with 
  bacteremia. However, 
  subsp. 
  , was found to be associated with neonatal sepsis and liver diseases and is less commonly associated with endocarditis compared with 
  subsp. 
  . Our study aimed to identify the risk factors for 
  subsp. 
  endocarditis to help select the patients for echocardiography.
 
  In this retrospective cohort study, medical records from all adult patients with 
  subsp. 
  isolated from blood cultures at Phramongkutklao Hospital from 2009 to 2015 were reviewed. Patients who had mixed bacteremia or missing records were excluded from the study.
 
  During the study period, 
  subsp. 
  was isolated among 106 individuals. Mean age was 66.9±15.6 years. Most patients (61.3%) were male, with cirrhosis as the most common underlying diseases (46.2%), followed by malignancy and chronic kidney disease. Most common manifestations included primary bacteremia (44.3%), followed by spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (23.6%). Infective endocarditis was found among 9 patients. No patients with cirrhosis or single blood specimen of bacteremia had endocarditis (RR 0; p-value 0.003, and RR 1.35; p-value 0.079). The common complications associated with endocarditis were acute respiratory failure (RR 4.32; p-value 0.05), whereas acute kidney injury was a protective factor (RR 0; p-value 0.01). Among 76 patients who had records of 2-year follow-up, no new diagnosis of endocarditis or malignancy was observed.
 
  Among patients with 
  subsp. 
  bacteremia, echocardiography might not be needed among patients with cirrhosis and without sustained bacteremia.
