Dissemination of High-Risk Clones Enterobacterales among Bulgarian Fecal Carriage Isolates. [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
The gastrointestinal tract is an important reservoir of high-risk Enterobacteria clones and a driver of antimicrobial resistance in hospitals. In this study, patients from six hospitals in four major Bulgarian towns were included in this study. Overall, 205 cefotaxime-resistant isolates (35.3%) of Enterobacterales order were detected in fecal samples ...

Oropharyngeal and fecal carriage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in hospital patients [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989
This prospective study was designed to determine the incidence of rectal and/or oropharyngeal colonization rates of patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa upon admission to a general hospital and the risk of becoming colonized while hospitalized. Consecutive 186 admissions (180 patients) to one medical ward, one surgical ward, and the intensive care unit

Fecal Carriage and Molecular Characterization of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales in the Pediatric Population in Qatar. [PDF]

Microbiol Spectr, 2021
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study addressing the molecular characteristics of CPE in a pediatric population in Qatar using whole-genome sequencing. Since several countries in the Arabian Peninsula share relatively similar demographic patterns and international links, it is plausible that the molecular characteristics of CPE in ...

Fecal Klebsiella pneumoniae Carriage Is Intermittent and of High Clonal Diversity [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The Klebsiella pneumoniae complex comprises several closely related entities, which are ubiquitous in the natural environment, including in plants, animals, and humans. K. pneumoniae is the major species within this complex. K. pneumoniae strains are opportunistic pathogens and a common cause of healthcare-associated infections. K.

Characterization of young infants with fecal carriage of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli in Southern Taiwan

Pediatrics and Neonatology
Background: The accelerating prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and multidrug-resistance (MDR) Escherichia coli (E. coli) become a public health challenge worldwide. This study aimed to discuss the prevalence of drug-resistant E.

Low prevalence of Clostridium septicum fecal carriage in an adult population [PDF]

Anaerobe, 2015
Clostridium septicum is an uncommon cause of severe infection. Real-time PCR against the C. septicum-specific alpha-toxin gene (csa) was used to estimate the prevalence of this microbe in human stool from 161 asymptomatic community-dwelling adults and 192 hospitalized patients with diarrhea. All samples were negative, suggesting a low prevalence.

Fecal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales in healthy Spanish schoolchildren. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2023
BackgroundExtended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) are a serious threat among emerging antibiotic resistant bacteria. Particularly, the number of cases of ESBL-E infections reported in children has been increasing in recent years, and approved antibiotic treatments for this age group are limited.

Effect of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination on serotype-specific carriage and invasive disease in England: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

, 2011
We investigated the effect of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) programme in England on serotype-specific carriage and invasive disease to help understand its role in serotype replacement and predict the impact of higher valency vaccines.

Prevalence and patient related factors associated with Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae carriage and infection among pediatric patients in Tanzania

Scientific Reports, 2021
Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) is increasing worldwide, though less documented in low-income settings. Here we determined the prevalence of EPE infection and carriage, and patient factors associated with EPE ...

High Fecal Carriage of Multidrug Resistant Bacteria in the Community among Children in Northwestern Tanzania. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Colonization of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria is associated with subsequent invasive infections in children with comorbidities. This study aimed to determine the resistance profile and factors associated with MDR pathogen colonization among HIV−and HIV+ children below five years of age in Mwanza, Tanzania.
