Enterococcal periprosthetic joint infection: clinical and microbiological findings from an 8-year retrospective cohort study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Treatment of enterococcal periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) is challenging due to non-standardized management strategies and lack of biofilm-active antibiotics. The optimal surgical and antimicrobial therapy are unknown.

Gut Microbiota as a Key Modulator in the Pathophysiology of Sepsis: SURVEIL Project
Longitudinal profiling of 132 hospitalized patients reveals that age, colonization status, and sepsis interact to shape gut microbiota diversity and composition. Sepsis is associated with reduced alpha diversity, beta‐diversity shifts, functional predictions (methanogenesis, nitrate/sulfate respiration), and partial MDR overlap with bloodstream ...

Phage inducible islands in the gram-positive cocci [PDF]
The SaPIs are a cohesive subfamily of extremely common phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) that reside quiescently at specific att sites in the staphylococcal chromosome and are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate.

In Belize, a 7‐year nationwide study reveals a sharp rise in antimicrobial resistance in surgical infections. ESBL‐producing bacteria more than doubled to > 45%, with critical treatment gaps and geographic hotspots identified. Sentinel pan‐drug‐resistant cases and a correlation between antibiotic use and resistance underscore the urgent need for ...

Molecular characterization of enterococci harboring genotype and phenotype incongruence related to glycopeptide resistance isolated in Brazilian hospitals [PDF]
Three Enterococcus faecalis and one Enterococcus faecium strains were characterized by plasmid profile, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and determination of antimicrobial minimal inhibitory concentrations. VanA elements were characterized by Long

Species distribution and resistance phenotypes of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus isolated from pigs in Pulau Pinang, Malaysia [PDF]
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are important nosocomial pathogens. The extensive use of avoparcin as a growth promoter in poultry and pigs is the hypothesized factor for the emergence of vancomycin resistance in enterococci in animals. As pork is

Infected Necrosis in Severe Pancreatitis - Combined Nonsurgical Multi-Drainage with Directed Transabdominal High-Volume Lavage in Critically Ill Patients [PDF]
Background: Infection of pancreatic necrosis is a life-threatening complication during the course of acute pancreatitis. In critically ill patients, surgical or extended endoscopic interventions are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Minimally

Ruthenium(II) (Ru(II)) pyrazolyl–pyridine half‐sandwich complexes (C1–C6) were synthesized and structurally characterized as prospective metalloantibiotics. Screening through the Community for Open Antimicrobial Drug Discovery (CO‐ADD) revealed selective activity against Acinetobacter baumannii, with favorable cytotoxicity profiles. Biophysical studies
