CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of an 18-month-old Sudanese girl who presented at the age of 3 months with swelling of her left forearm following Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination administered at birth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Three proposals have been presented as representing the phylogeny of the genus Bacillus. The first proposal, presented in 2003, is a Bacillus-specific study, with the most diversity covered using 16S and the ITS regions. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Sputum

  After 160 days, he developed blood-streaked sputum and computed tomography images revealed that the perianeurysmal fluid area was increasing in size. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction using sputum identified M. bovis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Agalactia

  In a report of the intra-species diversity of Streptococcus agalactiae [ 17 ], the "pan-genome" concept was defined as the sum of the core genome (comprising genes present in all analyzed strains) and the "accessory" genome (comprising all strain-specific [doi.org]

  The possible involvement of programmed cell death (PCD) in this release as well as in the shaping of the biofilm architecture, and the connection of its regulation to the regulation of biofilm formation represent other exciting issues in the forthcoming [frontiersin.org]

• Dysarthria

  An 89-year-old Caucasian man with a history of relapsing high-grade bladder carcinoma treated with intravesical BCG presented with recurring episodes of right upper limb paresthesia with clumsiness and dysarthria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Testicular Disease

  The difficulties in diagnosing this condition based on imaging alone, given the extensive overlap with the appearance of bacterial epididymo-orchitis, malignant testicular disease and testicular torsion, are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] report, of a 77-year-old man with a history of intravesical BCG therapy and recent cardiac surgery, highlights the need for patients with similar features on history, presenting with generalised symptoms, to have mycobacterial cultures included in their workup [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Polyps

  The author herein reports a rare case of a tuberculosis-associated endobronchial inflammatory polyp that was AFB smear- and culture-negative and the patient's clinical course after treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Liver Biopsy

  Bone marrow and liver biopsies showed non-caseating granulomas and were negative for acid-fast bacillus (AFB) and fungal stains. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex PCR of the bone marrow was negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There were significant differences between BCG and other treatments or no additional treatment for recurrence (P = 0.034), progression (P = 0.004) and cancer-specific survival (P = 0.014). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

IPTW-adjusted multivariate analysis revealed that BCG therapy did not worsen the prognosis of these patients. The limitations of our study were its retrospective design and small sample size. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Candida species are responsible for one-third of these infections and carry a worse prognosis [ 1 – 3 ]. [ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com]

Epidemiology- No seasonal variance. Bacillus spp. are found in most natural environments. Because they form spores, they can tolerate extremes of temperature, humidity, etc. They also form a small part of normal human flora. [infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com]
