Role of Gram‐Negative Bacterial Infections in Acute‐On‐Chronic Liver Failure
ABSTRACT Acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a systemic disease characterised by an acute clinical deterioration of pre‐existing liver cirrhosis leading to multiple organ failure due to systemic inflammation. It may be triggered by the translocation of bacteria and bacterial compounds across the gut barrier.

The oral penems and carbapenems
SUMMARY The penem and carbapenem antibiotics provide some of the broadest spectrum coverage available and generally should only be used when narrower options are unavailable. The majority of available carbapenems can only be administered parenterally, but two orally administered penems (faropenem and sulopenem) and one orally ...

ABSTRACT Drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) remains a diagnosis of exclusion and requires systematic causality assessment. Meropenem is generally considered hepatically safe; however, rare cases of idiosyncratic DILI have been reported. We describe a 33‐year‐old female who developed progressive elevation of liver tests following exposure to meropenem ...

An Uncommon Case of Ecthyma Gangrenosum in a Three‐Year‐Old Immunocompetent Child
The necrotic lesions on day 10. ABSTRACT Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a rare cutaneous finding of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis, typically in immunocompromised patients. We present EG with septic shock in a previously healthy three‐year‐old child who presented with rapidly progressing necrotic eschars and severe neutropenia.

Global Spread of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
Carbapenemases increasingly have been reported in Enterobacteriaceae in the past 10 years. Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases have been reported in the United States and then worldwide, with a marked endemicity at least in the United States and Greece.
