Do we need a change in surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis? Insights from Dr. Camilla Rodrigues
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to pose a serious threat to global health systems, particularly in high-burden countries like India. The challenges it presents to surgical treatment are complex and evolving, demanding both robust surveillance and strategic preventive interventions. In this interview, Dr. Camilla Rodrigues from Hinduja Hospital shares the current epidemiological landscape of AMR in India, discusses the risks it poses to surgical patients, and outlines successful approaches her center has implemented to mitigate these threats—particularly through systematic MRSA decolonization and strengthened infection control protocols.
Dr. Andrea Mastrangelo Explores Unique CD8 T Cell Responses in HIV Controllers | hashtag CROI2025
New research led by Dr. Andrea Mastrangelo at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois unveils a distinct transcriptomic signature in lymph node (LN) HIV-specific CD8 T cells of HIV controllers. Unlike chronic HIV-infected individuals (CHI), controllers exhibited an enriched population of stem-like CD8 T cells marked by TCF7, IL7R, and BACH2, which may contribute to proliferative potential and effective viral control.
Investigating the Evolution of Global and Endemic Clade II MPXV | Dr. Rebecca P Sumner at hashtag CROI2025
New research from Dr. Rebecca P Sumner at the University of Surrey uncovers key biological differences between the global MPXV lineage B and its ancestral lineage A, which remains endemic in Africa.
Can COVID-19 Vaccination Help Long COVID Symptoms?
A recent study in The Journal of Infection suggests that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may accelerate symptom resolution in individuals with ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 (OSC) and post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Using data from the ZOE COVID Symptom Study app, researchers found that vaccinated individuals experienced greater improvement in symptoms like fatigue and brain fog compared to unvaccinated individuals.
