Merchants soon will be able to sell products on Google Shopping at no charge. Previously, they had to pay per click, but the cost was not fixed. There was no minimum, but they had to set a maximum for ad spend and Google would stop displaying their ads once the maximum was reached. Starting next week, search results on the Google Shopping tab will consist primarily of free product listings.

Traditional health-risk behaviors, such as problem drinking, smoking, marijuana use, and unsafe sexual behavior are interrelated and not isolated events in the life of adolescents. New health-risk behaviors are emerging: risky music-listening behaviors, which may induce hearing loss.

Risky music-listening behaviors are highly associated with traditional health-risk behaviors. Risky MP3-player listeners are often cannabis users. Frequent visitors of music venues are less often cannabis users, but are often binge drinkers and have sexual intercourse without using a condom. (Read the full article)

Pediatric specialists are increasingly involved in prenatal care, particularly for congenital fetal conditions. Questions remain about pediatricians’ role in the management of maternal conditions that may affect postnatal health, and the attitudes of obstetric and pediatric specialists around such care.

Obstetric and pediatric specialists’ attitudes differ substantially regarding pediatricians’ role in providing consultation for maternal conditions that may affect a child’s health postnatally, and regarding whether court authorization may be appropriate when a woman refuses certain treatment recommendations.

Early detection for children with autism leads to better outcomes; early screening is critical. The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) is a widely used instrument for early autism screening and is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

This large study provides empirical support for population screening for autism spectrum disorders and the use of the M-CHAT in primary care settings. This study provides updated results to facilitate use and scoring of the M-CHAT by clinical providers. (Read the full article)

Screening for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) using the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) improves early detection and long-term prognosis of ASD. Reducing the false-positive rate may increase implementation of screening for ASDs.

The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-up (M-CHAT-R/F), simplifies wording of the original M-CHAT. The current validation study indicates that the M-CHAT-R/F improves the ability to detect autism spectrum disorders in toddlers screened during well-child care visits. (Read the full article)

There is wide variation in pediatric subspecialty supply in the United States. The impact of this variation in supply on utilization and child and family disease burden is not known.

Among children with special health care needs, living in a county with lower subspecialty supply was associated with lower perceived need for subspecialty care, lower subspecialty utilization, and no meaningful differences in examined measures of child and family disease burden.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parent-child reading from infancy through at least kindergarten, the span of maximal brain growth. Home literacy environment, including reading behaviors and access to books, has been shown to promote oral language and print concepts.

Home reading environment is positively associated with activation of brain areas supporting narrative comprehension and mental imagery in preschool children. This offers novel insight into the neurobiological foundations of emergent literacy and potential effect of shared reading during early childhood. (Read the full article)

Polymyxins are increasingly used as the critical last-resort therapeutic options for multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. Unfortunately, polymyxin resistance has increased gradually for the last few years. Although studies on mechanisms of polymyxin are expanding, system-wide analyses of the underlying mechanism for polymyxin resistance and stress response are still lacking. To understand how Klebsiella pneumoniae adapt to colistin (polymyxin E) pressure, we carried out proteomic analysis of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain cultured with different concentrations of colistin. Our results showed that the proteomic responses to colistin treatment in Klebsiella pneumoniae involving several pathways, including (i) gluconeogenesis and TCA cycle; (ii) arginine biosynthesis; (iii) porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism; and (iv) enterobactin biosynthesis. Interestingly, decreased abundance of class A β-lactamases including TEM, SHV-11, SHV-4 were observed in cells treated with colistin. Moreover, we also present comprehensive proteome atlases of paired polymyxin-susceptible and -resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. The polymyxin-resistant strain Ci, a mutant of Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC BAA 2146, showed missense mutation in crrB. The crrB mutant Ci, which displayed lipid A modification with 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N) and palmitoylation, showed striking increases of CrrAB, PmrAB, PhoPQ, ArnBCADT and PagP. We hypothesize that crrB mutations induce elevated expression of the arnBCADTEF operon and pagP via PmrAB and PhoPQ. Moreover, multidrug efflux pump KexD, which was induced by crrB mutation, also contributed to colistin resistance. Overall, our results demonstrated proteomic responses to colistin treatment and the mechanism of CrrB-mediate colistin resistance, which may further offer valuable information to manage polymyxin resistance.

Multidrug resistant strains belonging to the Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) group, and especially those belonging to clusters C-III, C-IV and C-VIII, have increasingly emerged as a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections, with colistin used as one of the last line of treatment. However, colistin-resistant ECC strains have emerged. The aim of this study was to prove that MgrB, the negative regulator of PhoP/PhoQ two-component regulatory system, is involved in colistin resistance in ECC of cluster C-VIII, formerly referred to as Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. steigerwaltii. An in vitro mutant (Eh22-Mut) was selected from a clinical isolate of Eh22. The sequencing analysis of its mgrB gene showed the presence of one nucleotide deletion leading to the formation of a truncated protein of six instead of 47 amino acids. Wild-type mgrB gene from Eh22, as well as that of a clinical strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae used as controls, were cloned and the corresponding recombinant plasmids were used for complementation assays. Results showed a fully restored susceptibility to colistin, and confirmed for the first time that mgrB gene expression plays a key role in acquired resistance to colistin in ECC strains.

We report the first clinical Escherichia. coli strain EC3000 with concomitant chromosomal colistin and carbapenem resistance. A novel in-frame deletion, 6-11(RPISLR), in pmrB contributing to colistin resistance was verified using recombinant DNA techniques. Although decreased fitness compared to the wild-type (WT) strain or EC3000 revertant (chromosomal replacement of WT pmrB in EC3000), a portion of serially passaged EC3000 strains preserving colistin resistance without selective pressure raises the concern for further spread.

Beth E. Michalec, lecturer of corporate communication at Penn State Lehigh Valley, earned a doctorate in rhetoric from Duquesne University. Michalec was selected as a Fulbright specialist in June 2019 by the U.S. Department of State.

Although complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic have temporarily halted the Fulbright Specialist Program, Nichola D. Gutgold looks forward to officially joining the Roster after the U.S. Department of State determines that projects can resume.
