Quotes

"We examined the immunogenic characteristics of the OMVs from different NTHi strains. The mouse model showed that this provides protection against not only the NTHi strain, which served as the donator for the OMV immunization, but also against a heterologous NTHi strain" , Mr Schild stated
...I imagine it was terrifying for her but I pulled through," the 27-year-old said. "She was very lucky because the death rate was 5 per cent and one in 10 got complications like deafness, cerebral palsy or epilepsy. "I pulled through with no major defects."

...Distinguished Chair in Ophthalmology and Co-Director of the Ocular Microbiology Laboratory, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami. "Knowing the type and proportion of ocular pathogens that are potentially resistant, as well as the antibiotics to which they are less susceptible, allows selection of agents that have a broad spectrum of activity and proven efficacy against potentially sight-threatening organisms like P aeruginosa and difficult-to-treat strains including MRSA. In light of the growing problem of bacterial resistance in the community and in medicine generally, the authors' conclusion that continued vigilance is warranted is exceptionally prudent."
