[8] [9] MIS-C has also been monitored as a potential, rare [10] pediatric adverse event following COVID-19 vaccination. [11] Research suggests that COVID-19 vaccination lowers the risk of MIS-C, and in cases where symptoms develop after vaccine, is likely extremely rare or related to factors like recent exposure to COVID-19.

Bartonella henselae, formerly Rochalimæa henselae, is a bacterium that is the causative agent of cat-scratch disease [1] (bartonellosis). Bartonella henselae is a member of the genus Bartonella, one of the most common types of bacteria in the world. [specify] It is a facultative intracellular microbe that targets red blood cells.
The concept of a minimal infective dose (MID), also known as the infectious dose, has traditionally been used for infectious microorganisms that contaminate foods. MID was defined as the number of microorganisms ingested (the dose) from which a pathology is observed in the consumer.
Infectious disease – illness or disorder when pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites invade and multiply within the body of a host organism and release toxins, causing various clinical symptoms which can potentially lead to severe health complications or even death.

Transmission-based precautions are infection-control precautions in health care, in addition to the so-called "standard precautions". They are the latest routine infection prevention and control practices applied for patients who are known or suspected to be infected or colonized with infectious agents, including certain epidemiologically important pathogens, which require additional control ...
The CDC highlighted post-prescription tactics for antibiotic regulation, such as reassessing dosages and the class or type of antibiotic used, in order to optimally treat each infection. [3] The CDC also emphasized the need for evidence-based prescribing, a practice that focuses on the utilization of evidence and research to make informed ...
The CDC has detected the deadly bacteria that causes melioidosis, aka Whitmore's Disease, in the U.S. for the first time. Here’s what to know.
Campylobacter species are sensitive to hydrochloric acid in the stomach, and acid reduction treatment can reduce the amount of inoculum needed to cause disease. [citation needed] Exposure to bacteria is often more common during travelling, and therefore campylobacteriosis is a common form of travelers' diarrhea. [citation needed]
