Abstract We report 4 cases of Fusobacterium nucleatum bacteremia associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Three occurred concomitantly COVID-19 diagnosis; 1 on day 15 intensive care. None the patients had known risk factors for F. bacteremia. infection could represent a possible complication COVID-19.

High throughput sequencing could become a powerful tool in food safety. This study was the first to investigate artisanal cheeses from Belgium (31 batches) using metagenetics, relation Listeria monocytogenes growth data acquired during previous project. Five cheese types were considered, namely unripened acid-curd cheeses, smear- and mold-ripened soft Gouda-type Saint-Paulin-type cheeses. Each ...

Septic thrombophlebitis is characterized by venous thrombosis, inflammation and bacteremia, that can lead to fatal complications such as sepsis, septic emboli and even death.

Lemierre's syndrome, also referred...
