The sbiT-sbiR-sbiS operon of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia encodes an inner-membrane protein SbiT and a SbiS-SbiR two-component regulatory system. A sbiT mutant displayed a growth defect in LB agar. Mechanism studies revealed that sbiT deletion resulted in SbiSR activation and gloIo upregulation, which increased intracellular ROS level and caused growth defect.

Background/Purpose

Recent large-scale epidemiological studies have revealed significant temporal associations between certain viral infections and the subsequent development of Kawasaki disease (KD). Despite these associations, definitive laboratory evidence linking acute or recent viral infections to KD cases remains elusive. The objective of this study is to employ a molecular epidemiological approach to investigate the temporal association between viral infections and the development of KD.

Methods

We analyzed 2460 patients who underwent the FilmArray® Respiratory Panel test between April 2020 and September 2021.

Results

Following the application of inclusion criteria, 2402 patients were categorized into KD (n = 148), respiratory tract infection (n = 1524), and control groups (n = 730). The KD group exhibited higher positive rates for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human rhinovirus/enterovirus (hRV/EV), parainfluenza virus (PIV) 3, and adenovirus (AdV) compared to the control group. Additionally, coinfections involving two or more viruses were significantly more prevalent in the KD group. Notably, RSV-positive, hRV/EV-positive, and PIV3-positive KD patients exhibited a one-month delay in peak occurrence compared to non-KD patients positive for corresponding viruses. In contrast, AdV-positive KD cases did not show a one-month delay in peak occurrence. Moreover, anti-RSV, anti-PIV3, and anti-AdV antibody-positive rates or antibody titers were higher in RSV-, PIV3-, and AdV-positive KD cases, respectively, compared to non-KD cases with the same viral infections.

Conclusion

Recent infection with RSV, PIV3, or AdV, occasionally in conjunction with other viruses, may contribute to the pathogenesis of KD as infrequent complications.

背景/目的最近的大规模流行病学研究显示,某些病毒感染与随后的川崎病(KD)发病之间存在明显的时间关联。尽管存在这些关联,但将急性或近期病毒感染与川崎病病例联系起来的确切实验室证据仍然难以找到。方法我们分析了在 2020 年 4 月至 2021 年 9 月期间接受 FilmArray® 呼吸道样本检测的 2460 名患者。结果根据纳入标准,2402 名患者被分为 KD 组(n = 148)、呼吸道感染组(n = 1524)和对照组(n = 730)。与对照组相比,KD 组的呼吸道合胞病毒 (RSV)、人鼻病毒/肠道病毒 (hRV/EV)、副流感病毒 (PIV) 3 和腺病毒 (AdV) 阳性率更高。此外,KD 组合并感染两种或两种以上病毒的比例明显更高。值得注意的是,与相应病毒阳性的非 KD 患者相比,RSV 阳性、hRV/EV 阳性和 PIV3 阳性的 KD 患者的发病高峰推迟了一个月。相比之下,AdV 阳性的 KD 病例的发病高峰并没有延迟一个月。此外,在 RSV、PIV3 和 AdV 阳性的 KD 病例中,抗 RSV、抗 PIV3 和抗 AdV 抗体阳性率或抗体滴度分别高于感染相同病毒的非 KD 病例。

Background

Dengue poses a significant public health concern. Secondary dengue infections with different dengue virus (DENV) serotypes have been linked to an increased risk of severe dengue. This study aimed to assess the risk of severe dengue during secondary infection in Taiwan.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database to identify dengue cases with secondary dengue infection born after 1944 from 2014 to 2015. Ten matched patients with primary infection were selected as controls using propensity score matching for each secondary dengue infection case. The odds ratio (OR) for severe dengue in secondary versus primary infections was calculated using conditional logistic regression.

Results

This study included 357 cases with secondary dengue infection and 3570 matched controls. The risk of severe dengue was found to be 7.8% in individuals with secondary infection, compared to 3.8% in those with primary dengue infection. Secondary infection significantly increased the risk of severe dengue (OR 2.13, 95% CI: 1.40–3.25, P = 0.0004). Notably, a significant association between secondary infection and severe dengue was observed only when the interval between the first and secondary infection was greater than two years (OR 3.19, 95% CI 2.04–5.00, P < 0.0001).

Conclusion

Secondary dengue infection significantly increases the risk of severe disease in Taiwan, particularly when the interval between infections is over two years.

Healthcare professionals should maintain heightened vigilance for individuals with a history of previous dengue infection, particularly if their initial diagnosis was more than two years prior.

背景:登革热是一个重大的公共卫生问题。不同血清型登革热病毒(DENV)的二次登革热感染与严重登革热风险增加有关。本研究旨在评估台湾二次感染严重登革热的风险:方法:利用台湾国民健康保险研究数据库开展了一项回顾性队列研究,以确定2014年至2015年期间1944年后出生的登革热继发感染病例。采用倾向得分匹配法为每个继发性登革热感染病例挑选了10名与之匹配的原发性感染患者作为对照。采用条件逻辑回归法计算了继发性与原发性感染严重登革热的几率比(OR):这项研究包括 357 例继发性登革热感染病例和 3570 例匹配对照。结果发现,继发性感染者发生严重登革热的风险为 7.8%,而原发性感染者为 3.8%。继发感染会大大增加罹患严重登革热的风险(OR 2.13,95% CI:1.40-3.25,P = 0.0004)。值得注意的是,只有当首次感染和二次感染之间的间隔时间超过两年时,才能观察到二次感染与重症登革热之间存在明显的关联(OR 3.19,95% CI 2.04-5.00,P 结论:二次登革热感染会显著增加重症登革热的风险:在台湾,登革热二次感染会大大增加罹患严重疾病的风险,尤其是当感染间隔超过两年时。医护人员应提高对曾有登革热感染史者的警惕,尤其是初次确诊时间超过两年的患者。

Background

The adverse effects of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) highlight the need for new biomarkers. Signal Peptide-Complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1-Epidermal Growth Factor-like Domain-Containing Protein 2 (SCUBE2), important for angiogenesis and endothelial integrity, has been linked to increased mortality in models of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury. This research aimed to assess the utility of plasma SCUBE2 levels as a prognostic indicator for SA-AKI in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Methods

Between September 2020 and December 2022, our study enrolled ICU patients diagnosed with stage 3 SA-AKI. We collected demographic information, illness severity indices, and laboratory data, including plasma SCUBE2 and sepsis-triggered cytokine levels. We employed receiver operating characteristic curves and DeLong tests to assess the predictive accuracy for survival, Kaplan–Meier curves to evaluate the relative risk of death, and multivariate logistic regression to identify independent mortality predictors.

Results

Among the total of 200 participants, the survivors had significantly higher plasma SCUBE2 levels (115.9 ng/mL) compared to those who died (35.6 ng/mL). SCUBE2 levels showed a positive correlation with the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and a negative correlation with the APACHE II score, SOFA score, C-reactive protein, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. Multivariate analysis revealed that elevated SCUBE2 and IL-10 levels were independently protective against mortality, and associated with the most favorable 30-day survival outcomes.

Conclusions

In ICU patients with stage 3 SA-AKI, lower plasma levels of SCUBE2 were correlated with elevated pro-inflammatory factors, which impacted survival outcomes. This suggests that SCUBE2 could be a potential biomarker for predicting prognosis in patients with SA-AKI.

背景脓毒症相关急性肾损伤(SA-AKI)的不良影响凸显了对新生物标记物的需求。信号肽-补体C1r/C1s、Uegf、Bmp1-表皮生长因子样结构域含蛋白2(SCUBE2)对血管生成和内皮完整性非常重要,在脂多糖诱导的肺损伤模型中与死亡率增加有关。本研究旨在评估血浆 SCUBE2 水平作为重症监护病房(ICU)患者 SA-AKI 预后指标的实用性。我们收集了人口统计学信息、病情严重程度指数和实验室数据,包括血浆 SCUBE2 和脓毒症触发细胞因子水平。我们采用接收器操作特征曲线和 DeLong 检验来评估生存预测的准确性,采用 Kaplan-Meier 曲线来评估死亡的相对风险,并采用多变量逻辑回归来确定独立的死亡预测因素。 结果在总共 200 名参与者中,幸存者的血浆 SCUBE2 水平(115.9 纳克/毫升)明显高于死亡者(35.6 纳克/毫升)。SCUBE2 水平与抗炎细胞因子 IL-10 呈正相关,与 APACHE II 评分、SOFA 评分、C 反应蛋白和单核细胞趋化蛋白-1 呈负相关。多变量分析显示,SCUBE2 和 IL-10 水平的升高对死亡率具有独立的保护作用,并与最有利的 30 天生存结果相关。这表明 SCUBE2 可能是预测 SA-AKI 患者预后的潜在生物标志物。

Recommendations and guidance for herpes zoster vaccination for adults in Taiwan 台湾成人带状疱疹疫苗接种建议和指南
IF 4.5 2区 医学 Q2 IMMUNOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-06-21 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmii.2024.06.001

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a painful, vesicular, cutaneous eruption from reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV), which can lead to potentially debilitating complications. The lifetime risk of HZ is estimated to be 20%–30% in the general population, with an increased risk in the elderly and immunocompromised populations. The most effective strategy to prevent HZ and its complications is by vaccination. Two types of HZ vaccines, zoster vaccine live and recombinant zoster vaccine, have been approved for use. This guidance offers recommendations and suggestions for HZ vaccination in adults, aiming to reduce the disease burden of HZ and its complications. It is intended as a guide to first-line healthcare providers, but does not supersede clinical judgement when assessing risk and providing recommendations to individuals. The Working Group on Adult Immunization Practice was appointed by the Infectious Diseases Society of Taiwan (IDST) and recommendations were drafted after a full literature review, using the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. The recommendations were reviewed and revised by expert review panels during a series of consensus meetings and endorsed by the IDST, Taiwan Association of Family Medicine, the Taiwanese Dermatological Association, the Taiwan Oncology Society, the Taiwan Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, the Transplantation Society of Taiwan, the Taiwan AIDS Society, and the Taiwan College of Rheumatology. This guidance describes the epidemiology of HZ and provides recommendations for HZ vaccination in adults with varying levels of risk, differing history of previous VZV infection and past varicella or zoster vaccinations.

带状疱疹(HZ)是水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)再活化引起的一种疼痛性水疱性皮肤疹,可导致潜在的衰弱性并发症。据估计,普通人群一生中患 HZ 的风险为 20%-30%,老年人和免疫力低下的人群患 HZ 的风险更高。预防 HZ 及其并发症的最有效策略是接种疫苗。目前已批准使用两种 HZ 疫苗,即带状疱疹活疫苗和重组带状疱疹疫苗。本指南为成人接种 HZ 疫苗提供了建议和意见,旨在减轻 HZ 及其并发症的疾病负担。本指南旨在为一线医疗服务提供者提供指导,但在评估风险和向个人提供建议时并不取代临床判断。成人免疫接种实践工作小组由台湾传染病学会(IDST)任命,在对文献进行全面审查后,采用建议、评估、发展和评价分级(GRADE)系统起草了建议。专家评审小组在一系列共识会议上对建议进行了审查和修订,并获得了 IDST、台湾家庭医学协会、台湾皮肤病学会、台湾肿瘤学会、台湾血液与骨髓移植学会、台湾移植学会、台湾艾滋病学会和台湾风湿病学会的认可。本指南描述了 HZ 的流行病学,并为具有不同风险水平、不同既往 VZV 感染史和既往水痘或带状疱疹疫苗接种史的成人提供了接种 HZ 疫苗的建议。

Background

Liver transplantation (LT) is a pivotal treatment for end-stage liver disease. However, bloodstream infections (BSI) in the post-operative period present a significant threat to patient survival. This study aims to identify risk factors for post-LT BSI and crucial prognostic indicators for mortality among affected patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study of adults diagnosed with end-stage liver disease who underwent their initial LT between 2010 and 2021. Those who developed BSI post-LT during the same hospital admission were classified into the BSI group.

Results

In this cohort of 1049 patients, 89 (8.4%) developed BSI post-LT, while 960 (91.5%) did not contract any infection. Among the BSI cases, 17 (19.1%) patients died. The average time to BSI onset was 48 days, with 46% occurring within the first month post-LT. Of the 123 isolated microorganisms, 97 (78.8%) were gram-negative bacteria. BSI patients had significantly longer stays in the intensive care unit and hospital compared to non-infected patients. The 90-day and in-hospital mortality rates for recipients with BSI were significantly higher than those without infections. Multivariate analysis indicated heightened BSI risk in patients with blood loss >3000 mL during LT (odds ratio [OR] 2.128), re-operation within 30 days (OR 2.341), post-LT bile leakage (OR 3.536), and graft rejection (OR 2.194). Additionally, chronic kidney disease (OR 6.288), each 1000 mL increase in intraoperative blood loss (OR 1.147) significantly raised mortality risk in BSI patients, whereas each 0.1 mg/dL increase in albumin levels correlated with a lower risk of death from BSI (OR 0.810).

Conclusions

This study underscores the need for careful monitoring and management in the post-LT period, especially for patients at higher risk of BSI. It also suggests that serum albumin levels could serve as a valuable prognostic indicator for outcomes in LT recipients experiencing BSI.

背景:肝移植(LT)是治疗终末期肝病的关键疗法。然而,术后血流感染(BSI)对患者的生存构成了重大威胁。本研究旨在确定肝移植术后 BSI 的风险因素以及影响患者死亡率的关键预后指标:我们对 2010 年至 2021 年间接受首次 LT 的终末期肝病成人患者进行了一项回顾性研究。在同一次住院期间,LT 后发生 BSI 的患者被归入 BSI 组:在这组1049名患者中,89人(8.4%)在LT术后发生了BSI,960人(91.5%)没有感染。在 BSI 病例中,17 例(19.1%)患者死亡。BSI 的平均发病时间为 48 天,46% 发生在 LT 后的第一个月内。在 123 种分离出的微生物中,97 种(78.8%)为革兰氏阴性菌。与非感染患者相比,BSI 患者在重症监护室和医院的住院时间明显更长。患有 BSI 的受助者的 90 天死亡率和住院死亡率明显高于未感染者。多变量分析表明,LT 期间失血量大于 3000 毫升(几率比 [OR] 2.128)、30 天内再次手术(OR 2.341)、LT 后胆漏(OR 3.536)和移植物排斥(OR 2.194)的患者发生 BSI 的风险更高。此外,慢性肾脏疾病(OR 6.288)、术中失血量每增加 1000 毫升(OR 1.147)都会显著增加 BSI 患者的死亡风险,而白蛋白水平每增加 0.1 毫克/分升就会降低 BSI 患者的死亡风险(OR 0.810):本研究强调了在 LT 术后需要仔细监测和管理,尤其是对 BSI 风险较高的患者。这项研究还表明,血清白蛋白水平可以作为一个有价值的预后指标,用于预测发生 BSI 的 LT 受者的预后。

IF 4.5 2区 医学 Q2 IMMUNOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-06-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmii.2024.05.013

Background

This study aimed to assess the performance of three commercial panels, the ERIC Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Test (ERIC CRE test), the NG-Test CARBA 5 (NG CARBA 5), and the BD Phoenix CPO Detect Panel (CPO panel), for the detection of main types of carbapenemases among carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE).

Methods

We collected 502 isolates of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) demonstrating intermediate or resistant profiles to at least one carbapenem antibiotic (ertapenem, imipenem, meropenem, or doripenem). Carbapenemase genes and their specific types were identified through multiplex PCR and sequencing methods. Subsequently, the ERIC CRE test, CPO panel, and NG CARBA 5 assay were conducted on these isolates, and the results were compared with those obtained from multiplex PCR.

Results

The results indicated that the ERIC CRE test exhibited an overall sensitivity and specificity of 98.1% and 93.6%, respectively, which were comparable to 99.1% and 90.6% for the NG CARBA 5. However, the CPO panel demonstrated a sensitivity of only 56.2% in identifying Ambler classes, exhibiting the poorest sensitivity for class A. Moreover, while the ERIC CRE test outperformed the NG CARBA 5 in identifying multi-gene isolates with multiple carbapenemase-encoding genes, the CPO panel failed to accurately classify these isolates.

Conclusions

Our findings support the utilization of the ERIC CRE test as one of the methods for detecting carbapenemases in clinical laboratories. Nonetheless, further optimization is imperative for the CPO panel to enhance its accuracy in determining carbapenemase classification and address limitations in detecting multi-gene isolates.

研究背景本研究旨在评估ERIC耐碳青霉烯类肠杆菌科细菌检测试剂盒(ERIC CRE试剂盒)、NG-Test CARBA 5(NG CARBA 5)和BD Phoenix CPO检测试剂盒(CPO试剂盒)这三种商业试剂盒检测耐碳青霉烯类肠杆菌科细菌(CRE)中主要类型碳青霉烯酶的性能:方法:我们收集了 502 株对至少一种碳青霉烯类抗生素(厄他培南、亚胺培南、美罗培南或多立培南)表现出中间或耐药特征的耐碳青霉烯类肠杆菌(CRE)分离株。通过多重 PCR 和测序方法确定了碳青霉烯酶基因及其特定类型。随后,对这些分离物进行了 ERIC CRE 检测、CPO 面板检测和 NG CARBA 5 检测,并将检测结果与多重 PCR 检测结果进行了比较:结果:结果表明,ERIC CRE 检测的总体灵敏度和特异性分别为 98.1%和 93.6%,与 NG CARBA 5 检测的 99.1%和 90.6%相当。此外,虽然ERIC CRE检测在鉴定含有多种碳青霉烯酶编码基因的多基因分离物方面优于NG CARBA 5,但CPO面板未能对这些分离物进行准确分类:我们的研究结果支持将 ERIC CRE 检验作为临床实验室检测碳青霉烯酶的方法之一。尽管如此,CPO 面板仍需进一步优化,以提高其确定碳青霉烯酶分类的准确性,并解决检测多基因分离物的局限性。

Background

The prognosis for people living with HIV (PLWH) who develop lymphomas has been greatly improved by combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. However, real-world clinical data on this patient group in Asia are limited.

Methods

Treatment outcomes were retrospectively examined for 104 PLWH with lymphomas between 2000 and 2019. The cohort comprised five PLWH with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and 99 with non-Hodgkin lymphomas, including 61 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 19 with Burkitt lymphoma (BL), nine with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and ten with other subtypes.

Results

The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were as follows: HL (100%), PCNSL (76.2%), other subtypes (60.0%), BL (57.4%), and DLBCL (55.6%). Individuals who achieved complete response (CR) to front-line therapies had a significantly better 5-year OS rate than those without (96.2% vs. 17.8%, p < 0.001). PLWH who received cART for ≤6 months had significantly lower CD4+ T-cell counts at lymphoma diagnosis than those who received cART for longer periods (p = 0.048). Additionally, the 5-year OS rate was better for PLWH who received cART for ≤6 months before lymphomas diagnosis than those who received cART for longer periods (64.5% vs. 51.9%, p = 0.114).

Conclusions

PLWH with DLBCL or BL had OS rates compatible to patients without HIV infection. Better outcomes for patients achieving CR to front-line therapy and those with shorter cART duration before lymphoma diagnosis suggest an underlying biological distinction in the lymphomas and the involvement of immunity, which warrants further studies.

抗逆转录病毒联合疗法(cART)和抗 CD20 单克隆抗体大大改善了罹患淋巴瘤的艾滋病病毒感染者(PLWH)的预后。然而,亚洲有关这一患者群体的实际临床数据却很有限。我们对2000年至2019年期间104名淋巴瘤患者的治疗结果进行了回顾性研究。其中包括5名霍奇金淋巴瘤(HL)患者和99名非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者,包括61名弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)患者、19名布基特淋巴瘤(BL)患者、9名原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤(PCNSL)患者和10名其他亚型淋巴瘤患者。5年总生存率(OS)如下:HL(100%)、PCNSL(76.2%)、其他亚型(60.0%)、BL(57.4%)和DLBCL(55.6%)。对一线疗法获得完全应答(CR)的患者的5年OS率明显高于未获得完全应答的患者(96.2% vs. 17.8%,P < 0.001)。接受 cART 治疗时间≤6 个月的 PLWH 在淋巴瘤确诊时的 CD4+ T 细胞计数明显低于接受 cART 治疗时间更长的 PLWH(= 0.048)。此外,淋巴瘤确诊前接受cART治疗时间≤6个月的感染者的5年OS率(64.5% vs. 51.9%,= 0.114)优于接受cART治疗时间更长的感染者。患有DLBCL或BL的PLWH的OS率与未感染HIV的患者相当。一线治疗达到CR的患者和淋巴瘤确诊前接受cART治疗时间较短的患者的预后较好,这表明淋巴瘤存在潜在的生物学差异和免疫参与,值得进一步研究。

Background

Invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae syndrome is a significant endemic disease in Taiwan. Intestinal colonization of virulent clones that cause this phenomenon has been demonstrated in asymptomatic adults. Comparisons of healthy adults and children with stool K. pneumoniae colonization have rarely been reported. We aimed to evaluate the frequency and abundance of K. pneumoniae in the stool of adults and children by stool microbiota analysis.

Methods

Healthy volunteers and their children without antibiotic exposure within 3 months were recruited in a Taiwanese medical center. Stool samples were sent for gut microbiota analysis, using amplification of V3–V4 hypervariable regions of 16sRNA followed by high-throughput sequence. Rectal/stool swabs were sent for K. pneumoniae culture and identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

Results

Fifty-five adults with a mean age of 46.9 years (range, 23.1–72.1 years) and 20 children with a mean age of 2.3 years (range, 0.9–5.8) were enrolled, and 29 adults and 6 children had positive K. pneumoniae swabs. Children had lower microbiota diversity than adults, including higher abundance of phylum Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria, and lower Bacteriodetes. For genus comparison, higher abundance of Escherichia, Streptococcus, Enterococcus and Bifidobacterium were found in children, but the composite abundance of Klebsiella in adults (median: 0.0156, range: 0–0.031) and in children (median: 0.0067, range: 0–0.043) were similar. Klebsiella abundance was significantly higher in participants with positive swabs (p < 0.0001). Klebsiella-positive swabs were strongly negatively correlated with Enterobacter spp. (p < 0.0001), but no known demographic factors correlated with Klebsiella-positive swabs.

Conclusion

Klebsiella species are present in young children, and the abundance is similar in adults and children. Positive swabs correlate strongly with higher abundance in microbiota analysis.

侵袭综合征是台湾的一种重要地方病。在无症状的成年人肠道中,已经证实了导致这种现象的毒性克隆的定植。对健康成人和儿童的粪便定植情况进行比较的报道很少。我们的目的是通过粪便微生物群分析来评估成人和儿童粪便中微生物的频率和丰度。我们在台湾一家医疗中心招募了 3 个月内未接触过抗生素的健康志愿者及其子女。粪便样本被送去进行肠道微生物群分析,方法是扩增 16sRNA 的 V3-V4 超变异区,然后进行高通量测序。直肠/凳子拭子样本被送去进行培养,并通过基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)进行鉴定。55 名成人的平均年龄为 46.9 岁(范围在 23.1-72.1 岁之间),20 名儿童的平均年龄为 2.3 岁(范围在 0.9-5.8 岁之间)。与成人相比,儿童的微生物群多样性较低,包括较高的门类和Ⅳ类丰度以及较低的Ⅴ类丰度。在菌属比较中,儿童的 、 和 的丰度较高,但成人(中位数:0.0156,范围:0-0.031)和儿童(中位数:0.0067,范围:0-0.043)的综合丰度相似。0001)。阳性拭子与寄生虫属呈强烈负相关(p<0.0001),但没有已知的人口统计学因素与阳性拭子相关。在微生物群分析中,阳性拭子与较高的丰度密切相关。
