Preterm meconium‐stained amniotic fluid: A red flag for infection and adverse perinatal outcomes
Abstract Objective Meconium‐stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is uncommon in preterm deliveries and raises concerns about maternal and neonatal infectious risks. We aimed to evaluate maternal, perinatal, and microbiological outcomes in preterm deliveries complicated by MSAF compared to clear amniotic fluid (AF) and to assess outcomes in preterm versus term

Clinical outcomes of Enterobacteriaceae infections stratified by carbapenem MICs. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) lowered the MIC breakpoints for meropenem and imipenem from 4 mg/liter to 1 mg/liter for Enterobacteriaceae in 2010. The breakpoint change improves the probability of pharmacodynamic target attainment and eliminates the need for microbiology ...

Multilocus sequence typing of Cronobacter sakazakii and Cronobacter malonaticus reveals stable clonal structures with clinical significance which do not correlate with biotypes [PDF]
Background: The Cronobacter genus (Enterobacter sakazakii) has come to prominence due to its association with infant infections, and the ingestion of contaminated reconstituted infant formula. C. sakazakii and C.

Surgical site infections and sepsis in gynecological surgery
Abstract Despite advancements in infection control, surgical site infections (SSIs) and postoperative sepsis remain significant challenges in gynecological surgery, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. In low‐income countries, circulatory failure due to septic shock leads to most deaths after surgery, with sepsis ...

This study conducted a retrospective analysis of microbiological culture results and antimicrobial resistance patterns in patients with sternal osteomyelitis at a tertiary medical center. The primary pathogens causing sternal osteomyelitis were gram‐positive bacteria. Infections with multidrug‐resistant organisms were also relatively common among these

Limited effect of patient and disease characteristics on compliance with hospital antimicrobial guidelines [PDF]
Objective: Physicians frequently deviate from guidelines that promote prudent use of antimicrobials. We explored to what extent patient and disease characteristics were associated with compliance with guideline recommendations for three common infections.

This study examines the prevalence of blaNDM‐1 and blaIMP‐1 metallo‐β‐lactamase genes in meropenem‐resistant Escherichia coli isolates using mCIM and PCR. The results indicate a higher prevalence of blaNDM‐1 and suggest the presence of alternative resistance mechanisms in some strains, emphasizing the need for further research on antimicrobial ...
