Photodynamic inactivation increases cell death rate on persistent Staphylococcus aureus

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Persistent bacteria have the ability to survive extended periods of antibiotic stress by entering a metabolically dormant state. This study investigated persistence formation in two S. aureus strains and evaluated the effects of PDI using curcumin. Post‐PDI time‐kill assays conducted after metabolic recovery showed a higher rate of bacterial death ...

The Role of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Advanced Lung Disease

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Among 270 cystic fibrosis patients, 20.7% were NTM‐positive and had a lower pre‐transplant risk of death or lung transplantation but higher post‐transplant mortality, with no difference in CLAD incidence. These results suggest NTM infection should not be an absolute contraindication to lung transplantation, though careful individual risk assessment is ...

SUSCEPTIBILITY OF Candida spp. ISOLATED FROM BLOOD CULTURES AS EVALUATED USING THE M27-A3 AND NEW M27-S4 APPROVED BREAKPOINTS

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2014
The high mortality rates associated with candidemia episodes and the emergence of resistance to antifungal agents necessitate the monitoring of the susceptibility of fungal isolates to antifungal treatments.

Multi-marker approach using procalcitonin, presepsin, galectin-3, and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 for the prediction of mortality in sepsis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Biomarker could be objective and reliable tools to predict mortality in sepsis. We explored the prognostic utilities of emerging biomarkers in septic patients and questioned whether adding biomarkers to the clinical variables would improve ...

Fosmidomycin for the Treatment of Canine Otitis Externa: A Randomised, Double‐Blinded, Controlled ‘Split Body’ Clinical Trial

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Targeted antimicrobial therapy for canine otitis externa (OE) represents an opportunity for antimicrobial stewardship. Fosmidomycin selectively inhibits the non‐mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis utilised by canine‐adapted, and not human‐adapted, staphylococci.

In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Propionibacterium acnes isolated from patients with acne vulgaris

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2016
Introduction: Propionibacterium acnes has been implicated in the development of acne vulgaris. Rampant use of topical and systemic antibiotics for acne vulgaris has led to resistance due to selective pressure.

Increasing proportion of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and emergence of a MCR-1 producer through a multicentric study among hospital-based and private laboratories in Belgium from September to November 2015 [PDF]

, 2017
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) strains have been increasingly reported in Belgium. We aimed to determine the proportion of CPE among Enterobacteriaceae isolated from hospitalised patients and community outpatients in Belgium in 2015 ...
