Prevalence and Determinants of Hospital‐Acquired Infections in Intensive Care Units Before and After the COVID‐19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Descriptive Surveillance Study at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Iran

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hospital‐acquired infections (HAIs) in intensive care units (ICUs) cause significant morbidity, mortality, and costs. The COVID‐19 pandemic intensified infection control, but its effect on HAI prevalence and patterns is unclear.

Fatal Fungemia due to Paracoccidioides lutzii [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014
We report the first case of fungemia caused by Paracoccidioides lutzii in a 51-year-old male farm worker from the central-west region of Brazil. The fungus was isolated from blood cultures and the species was confirmed by phylogenetic identification. Despite specific treatment and intensive care, the patient died 39 days after admission.

From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...

Epidemiology and Outcomes of Cryptococcal Infections in Liver Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Cohort Study at a US Academic Center

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Among 346 liver transplant recipients, rural residence conferred a 3.3‐fold higher risk of cryptococcal infection — a novel finding suggesting environmental exposure or healthcare access barriers may drive susceptibility. Triple immunosuppression and longer waitlist duration were additional risk factors, with very early infection carrying the worst ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Detection of the Dimorphic Phases of Mucor circinelloides in Blood Cultures from an Immunosuppressed Female

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2016
Mucormycosis fungemia is rarely documented since blood cultures are nearly always negative. We describe a case of Mucor circinelloides fungemia in a patient with a history of a sinus infection, sarcoidosis, and IgG deficiency. The identity of the isolate
