Isolation of carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms from samples of raw‐meat diets for dogs in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms are an emerging threat in veterinary medicine that also have zoonotic potential. However, little is known about the prevalence and risks of these organisms in pet food. We present the incidental finding of gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms within samples of raw meat diets for dogs in the United Kingdom ...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Children With Bloodstream Infections: A Population‐Based Study in Stockholm, Sweden

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim We retrospectively evaluated trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in paediatric bloodstream infections and assessed changes in antimicrobial prescription patterns over a 20‐year period. Methods We analysed positive blood cultures from children admitted with suspected serious infection between 1998 and 2018.

Carriage of antimicrobial‐resistant E. coli in urban stray cats (Felis catus)

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli is a growing concern in both human and veterinary medicine, driven by the inappropriate use of antimicrobials. Companion animals may act as community reservoirs and sentinels for antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria due to their close contact with humans and other animals.

Risk Factors of Blood Culture Positivity and Mortality in Bloodstream Infections: A Population‐Based Study of Patients With B‐Cell Malignancies

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bloodstream infections remain a major cause of mortality among cancer patients. Pathogen surveillance and risk stratification tools are key to improved management. This study describes trends in causative pathogens and explores risk factors for positive blood cultures (PBCs) and post‐infection mortality in cancer patients.
