The Challenge of Bacterial Infections During Intensive Care Unit Stay After Heart Transplantation
Abstract Background Infections occurring in the early post–heart transplant (HT) period heavily contribute to morbidity and mortality. Our goal is to evaluate the incidence of hospital‐acquired pneumonia/ventilator‐associated pneumonia (HAP/VAPs) and/or bloodstream infections (BSIs) after HT during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay and identify their ...

Comparison of virulence factors between ESBL and non-ESBL producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates
Background and Objectives: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Its pathogenicity is associated with a variety of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance. The aim of the present study was to compare virulence attributes between ESBL and non-ESBL producing isolates.

BACKGROUND: Klepsiella pneumoniae, one of clinical isolates, is frequently found causative agent of hospital acquired infection. Currently, K. pneumoniae is found as extended-Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producer, allowing it to become multidrugresistant.

Background Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of human gastroenteritis. S. enterica strains that produce ESBLs (ESBL-Salm) remain rare in Europe and North America, but less is known about their prevalence among animal-derived foods in countries with ...

Opportunistic Gulls Infected by Antibiotic‐Resistant Bacteria Show Contrasting Movement Behaviour
Our work addresses a major research gap in animal ecology and movement behaviour by investigating differences between infected and uninfected gull individuals with Escherichia coli. More specifically, we investigated differences in movement metrics by using high‐resolution GPS movement data.

ESBL- FROM PETRI DISH TO THE PATIENT
Treatment of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing strains of Enterobacteriaceae has emerged as a major challenge in hospitalised as well as community based patients. Infections due to ESBL producers range from uncomplicated urinary tract infection to life threatening sepsis.

ESBL-producing bacteria and MRSA isolated from poultry and turkey products imported from Italy
ESBL and MRSA-producing bacteria in food-producing animals may contribute to increased incidences of infection in humans. This study was carried out on 38 samples obtained from 32 chickens and 6 turkey products purchased at retail outlets of Hannover ...

This study investigates the risk of serious infections (SIs) in patients treated with biologic or targeted‐synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) in Qatar. Out of 1092 patients, 86 (7.9%) experienced SIs, with adalimumab and infliximab associated with higher SI rates.

Phenotypic detection of ESBL and MBL producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in critically ill patients with nosocomial pneumonia [PDF]
Background: Drug-resistant bacteria are major determinants of hospital-acquired infections that are particularly troublesome in intensive care units (ICU). Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is one of the most prevalent causes of nosocomial pneumonia.
