Characterization of Bacterial and Fungal Infections in Hospitalized Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Factors Associated With Health Care-Associated Infections
Christine J. Kubin,Christine J. Kubin,Thomas H. McConville,Donald Dietz,Jason Zucker,Michael May,Brian Nelson,Elizabeth Istorico,Logan Bartram,Jennifer L. Small-Saunders,Magdalena E. Sobieszczyk,Angela Gomez-Simmonds,Anne-Catrin Uhlemann +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large cohort of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were evaluated and a total of 3028 patients were included and accounted for 899 positive clinical cultures.
Emerging Insights into the Esophageal Microbiome.
Michael May,Julian A. Abrams +1 more
TL;DR: The native esophageal microbiome is similar in composition to the oral microbiome, with a high relative abundance of the phylum Firmicutes and the genus Streptococcus, which raises the possibility that non-invasive microbiome analysis could be used for disease screening and monitoring.
Limited Utility of Procalcitonin in Identifying Community-Associated Bacterial Infections in Patients Presenting with Coronavirus Disease 2019.
Michael May,Michelle Chang,Donald Dietz,Sherif Shoucri,Justin C Laracy,Magdalena E. Sobieszczyk,Anne-Catrin Uhlemann,Jason Zucker,Christine J. Kubin +8 more
TL;DR: The role of procalcitonin in identifying community-associated bacterial infections among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 is not yet established as discussed by the authors, but it has been shown that the level of prostate cancer pro calcitonin is significantly higher with any bacterial infection (13.16 ± 51.19 ng/ml; P = 0.0091) and with bacteremia (34.25 ± 85.01 ng/m).

Relationship of the Esophageal Microbiome and Tissue Gene Expression and Links to the Oral Microbiome: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Medini K. Annavajhala,Michael May,Griselda Compres,Daniel E. Freedberg,Roseanna Graham,Stephania Stump,Jianwen Que,Tal Korem,Anne-Catrin Uhlemann,Julian A. Abrams +9 more
TL;DR: The oral and esophageal microbiomes are closely related within individuals, and esphageal microbiome alterations correlate with tissue gene expression changes, which may act as an important cofactor that influences pathogenesis and outcomes of diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis.
