Does whole-genome sequencing reveal clonal expansion of multiresistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus in European hospitals?
The presence of several successful and highly resistant clones underlines the adaptive potential of this opportunistic pathogen.
This study is the first to describe significantly higher proportions of Th1 and Th17 T helper cell subsets in the peripheral blood of sJIA patients. These proinflammatory cells may play a pathogenic role in sJIA. Our data also emphasize the importance of using paediatric age-matched control subjects when evaluating the T-cell cytokine profile in JIA.
