Sequencing of Porphyromonas gingivalis from saliva in patients with periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus and periodontitis are interlinked. Early detection of P. gingivalis and appropriate treatment with doxycycline will also assist in controlling the glycaemic status. (Source: Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Comparison of nested polymerase chain reaction and real-time polymerase chain reaction targeting 47kda gene for the diagnosis of scrub typhus
Conclusion: Real-time PCR targeting O. tsutsugamushi-specific 47-kDa gene is more sensitive than nPCR and may be the assay of choice for the detection of the organism in patients with suspected scrub typhus. (Source: Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology)

An unusual case of unresolving tunnel infection in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
We report an 82-year-old male, with diabetic nephropathy who had a coinfection with Staphylococcus hominis and Mycobacterium abscessus who presented with pus discharge at exit site and TI. He was treated with relocation of the extraperitoneal part of the catheter with a new exit site without catheter removal and multidrug mycobacterial therapy.

A case of septicaemic melioidosis: Utility of therapeutic drug monitoring and high-dose meropenem in successful management
We describe a patient who presented with septicaemic melioidosis with multi-organ dysfunction. He had only marginal response on standard doses of meropenem. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) revealed suboptimal concentration of meropenem following which drug dose was increased, with which he showed rapid clinical improvement and microbiological clearance. Melioidosis presents with multisystem involvement with disseminated abscess, standard dosing of meropenem may not be sufficient in achieving therapeutic levels and TDM with increased dosing in these critically ill patients will improve outcome.

Fungal keratitis caused by Podospora austroamericana: A first case report
We report a case of keratitis caused by a rare fungus Podospora austroamericana. Clinical and microbiological evaluation of the corneal ulcer was done and the treatment outcome was studied. The fungus was grown from the corneal scraping, and it was identified as P. austroamericana based on DNA sequence and analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region. The patient was treated with topical azithromycin, natamycin and voriconazole. Despite maximum medical therapy, the ulcer progressed very rapidly and the patient developed panophthalmitis and evisceration of the eye had to be done. This is the first reported case of ker...
