    Abstract: The invention relates to methods and kits for predicting or assessing the severity of infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus . Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and a pathogen, and uncovering the identifying markers of the 'colonization to disease' transition is very useful. Several S. aureus small RNAs regulate virulence. The presence/absence and expression of eight sRNAs were investigated in 83 strains from 42 sepsis or shock patients, and 41 carriers. These isolates were characterized by MLST and spa typing and monitored for virulence and resistance. RNAIII expression was lower in strains from shock patients than from colonizing strains. Noteworthy, when RNAIII was associated with SprD, colonizing strains were significantly discriminated from those from patients with bloodstream infections, including sepsis and shock. Isolates associated with colonization may have different sRNA and sRNA target expressions than disease isolates. Monitoring RNAIII and SprD expressions could inform about infection severity. Thus, the invention relates to a method of assessing of predicting or assessing severity of an infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus comprising quantifying the RNAIII and/or SprD expression level in bacteria recovered from a culture obtained from the patient.

    Abstract: The mucosa is an integrated network of tissues, cells and effector molecules that protect the host from environmental insults and infections. Dysregulation of immunity at mucosal surfaces is thought to lead to mucosal inflammatory diseases such as those affecting the gastrointestinal system (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome) and respiratory system (asthma, allergy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder). Anterior Gradient 2 (AGR2) is a dimeric Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) family member involved in the regulation of protein quality control in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). Its deletion in the mouse intestine increases tissue inflammation and promotes the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Now the inventors demonstrate that modulation of AGR2 dimer formation yields pro-inflammatory phenotypes notably though the secretion of AGR2 (eAGR2) that promotes monocyte attraction. The inventors show that in IBD and specifically in Crohn's disease, the levels of AGR2 dimerization modulators are selectively deregulated, and this correlates with severity of disease. The inventors thus demonstrate that AGR2 represent systemic alarm signals for pro-inflammatory responses in mucosa. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method of treating a mucosal inflammatory disease in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent which neutralizes the pro-inflammatory activity of eAGR2.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of constructing a value representative of an interaction between a plurality of brain regions, the method being implemented by an electronic device, said electronic device comprising a processor and a memory. According to the invention, the method comprises: - obtaining (10), in the form of connectivity matrices, dynamic functional networks, which are representative of electrical signals measured for a predetermined number of points of interest, called nodes, within a cerebral cortex during a given time period; - determining (20), from at least one of said connectivity matrices, a global efficiency (GE) score and at least one clustering coefficient score (Cc) for each node of said at least one of said connectivity matrices; - calculating (30) a value representative of an interaction between the plurality of brain networks in the form of a distribution ratio (Dl) using said global efficiency score and said clustering coefficient scores (Cc).
