Conference coverage- 33rd European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases

Описание: #conference #Europeanconference #microbiology #infectiousdiseases

There were lot of case studies and research articles discussed in the conference.
Here are a few topics presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases held at Copenhagen, Denmark between 15 - 18 April 2023.

1. Italian Study Reveals Gut Microbiota Changes in First Months of Life
From birth onwards, the intestinal tract is colonized by a multitude of bacteria,
viruses, fungi and protozoa, collectively known as the gut microbiota. The
composition of the gut microbiota grows and changes in the first few months and
years of life and disruption to its development is associated with conditions in later
life including asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and type 1 diabetes.

2. Rate of long COVID-19 symptoms mirrored by flu patients
A comparison between the long-term recovery of COVID-19 and influenza patients
suggests persistent symptoms are not unique to a specific virus. The study by
Queensland Health surveyed more than 2000 people diagnosed with the Omicron
variant of COVID and 951 with influenza over a 12-week period last year.

3. Disturbed Sleep May Partially Explain Post-COVID Breathlessness
A major UK study has discovered that the disturbed sleep patterns in patients
hospitalized with COVID-19 was likely to be a driver of breathlessness. The team
discovered that 62% of participants who had been admitted to hospital for COVID-19
had sleep disruption, which was likely to persist for at least 12 months, and highlight
for the first time the association between two post-COVID condition symptoms:
breathlessness and sleep disruption.

4. Scientists identify compounds that reduce the harmful side effects of antibiotics
on gut bacteria
Antibiotics help to fight bacterial infections, but they can also harm the helpful
microbes living in the gut, which can have long-lasting health consequences. Now
new research has identified several protective drugs that may lessen the collateral
damage caused by antibiotics without compromising their effectiveness against
harmful bacteria.

5. Major genetic study reveals how antibiotic resistance varies according to where
you live, demographics and diet
A genetic study analyzing the microbiome (bacteria in the gut) of a large nationally
representative sample of the Finnish population finds that geographic, demographic,
diet, and lifestyle factors are driving the spread of antibiotic resistance in the general
population. The study highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions to
reduce antibiotic resistance tailored to different demographics and lifestyles.
