- Read how researchers will use genome sequencing to study the fungal genus Candida in hospitals to limit its transmission.
- Bacteria are increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotics. This is an immediate threat to health care in the Netherlands and elsewhere. Recent studies show that, in Europe alone, more than 30.000 individuals die every year due to an infection with an antibiotic-resistant bacterium.AimThis project studied the pathways by which resistant bacteria can emerge in complex ecosystems, in which they can…
- The gut microbiome—the community of bacteria and viruses in the intestines—plays a key role in the development of the immune system and in protection against viral infections. At the same time, certain viruses can disrupt both the immune system and the gut microbiome. However, the relationship between viral activity and the gut microbiome, and the role these factors play in ME/CFS, remain poorly…
- The rapid spread of multidrug resistant bacteria threatens the treatment of even simple infections in the near future. However, little is known about how bacteria develop resistance on surfaces.AimThe aim of this project was to investigate fundamental mechanisms that shape antimicrobial resistance in biofilms in relation to the surface and then translate those findings into clinical practice…
- In zeldzame gevallen kunnen kinderen na een corona-infectie een levensbedreigende ontstekingsziekte krijgen. Dit heet MIS-C (multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children). Ook zijn er kinderen die na een corona-infectie langdurig gezondheidsklachten houden. Dit wordt ‘post-COVID klachten’ of ‘long COVID’ genoemd. Het is op dit moment niet helemaal duidelijk waarom sommige kinderen ernstige of…
