Abstract:
:Eikenella corrodens, a commensal of the human oral cavity, is generally associated with bite wounds and head and neck infections. Neonatal infections are rare. We report two cases of premature birth associated with maternofetal E. corrodens infection.

杂志文章abstract::Echinocandins are recommended as first-line agents against invasive fungal infections caused by Candida glabrata, which still carry a high mortality rate. Dose escalation of echinocandins has been suggested to improve the clinical outcome against C. glabrata. To address this possibility, we performed in vitro and in v...
