Figure Lengend Snippet: Relationship between time to positivity and bacterial load for LAMP detection of S. pneumoniae , S. aureus , and H. influenzae . As the bacterial concentration decreased, the time required for detection increased across all three pathogens. For S. pneumoniae , high concentrations produced a clear positive result within 35 min. However, concentrations near the LoD (10 4 and 10 3 CFU/mL) required more than 55 min to be considered positive. Similarly, S. aureus showed a positive signal at 35 min when tested at high concentrations, whereas lower concentrations (around 10 4 CFU/mL) required over 45. In the case of H. influenzae , the highest concentration yielded a visible positive reaction at 25 min, while lower concentrations needed up to 45 min. Transition phase: In all cases, there was a stage where tubes began to show a greenish signal, indicating the onset of positivity, although the color had not yet fully developed to a strong green signal.

(B) Comparison of PCV13 versus non-PCV13 isolates (left) and serotype 19A versus non-19A isolates (right) between the periods 2018–2022 and 2023–2024. Statistical significance was determined using Fisher’s exact test (left: p = 0.0023; right: p = 0.0154).

Article Snippet: After confirming the identification of S. pneumoniae , the isolates were stored in Microbank vials (Pro-lab Diagnostics, Richmond Hill, Canada) at −80°C until further testing.

CV8_D expresses payload D only; CV8_HA expresses payloads H and A. d Plot showing the quantification of biofilm dissolution by CV8 strains SN treatments in vitro, using the crystal violet assay. Data are shown as the mean of three independent experiments ± SEM. *** p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 by one-way Anova followed by the post-hoc Tukey’s multiple comparison tests.

Article Snippet: The attenuated strain CV8 derives from the wild-type M. pneumoniae strain M129 (ATCC 29342, subtype 1), in which genes mpn133 and mpn372 were deleted, and the mpn051 gene was replaced by the gpsA gene from Mycoplasma penetrans .
