Validation of Hexaplex Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay for the Detection of Carbapenemase Genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates From Pediatric Inpatients

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A novel hexaplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) method was developed to rapidly and accurately detect five key carbapenemase genes and a Klebsiella pneumoniae‐specific target in a single reaction. This makes it an effective tool for CRKP detection in resource‐constrained environments.

Mortality after broad‐ versus narrow‐spectrum antibiotic treatment for patients with nursing and healthcare‐associated pneumonia: A nationwide retrospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Nursing and healthcare‐associated pneumonia (NHCAP) is defined as pneumonia occurring in individuals with frequent healthcare contact, such as residents of care facilities or patients with impaired activities of daily living. The effectiveness of broad‐spectrum antibiotics in treating NHCAP remains unclear.

Cefotaxime-Resistant Neisseria meningitidis Sequence Type 4821 Causing Fulminant Meningitis

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We explored the role of commensal Neisseria in the emergence of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant N. meningitidis. Cefotaxime resistance–conferring penA795 was prevalent among commensal Neisseria isolates in Shanghai, China, and was acquired by a

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Glyco‐Nanogels for Modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Nanogels presenting α‐galactose and β‐fucose can significantly alter Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm dynamics through their interaction with lectins. Application timing is crucial: pre‐treatment reduces biofilm, while treatment after biofilm initiation increases biomass.

Modifying Antibiotic Activity of Synthetic Thiadiazine Analogs Against MDR Bacteria and ADMET Analysis

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
The study demonstrated that thidiazine compounds potentiated the action of antibiotics. The compounds associated with norfloxacin against S. aureus showed greater significance in relation to the other medications. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the selection of resistant bacterial strains, significantly reducing the effectiveness of ...
