Colistin Dependency among Colistin-Heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates [PDF]
Colistin dependent (CD) isolates are dependent on colistin for optimal growth. Here we aimed to systematically determine the emergence of CD among colistin-heteroresistant carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates. We also examined the phenotypic characteristics of CD and the evolution of CD strains to overt resistance. Additionally,

Development of a SimpleProbe real-Time PCR Assay for rapid detection and identification of the US novel urethrotropic clade of Neisseria meningitidis ST-11 (US_NmUC) [PDF]
Urethritis, or inflammation of the urethra, is one of the most common reasons men seek clinical care. Sexually transmitted pathogens including Neisseria gonorrhoeae are responsible for over half of the symptomatic urethritis cases in U.S. men.

In vitro Activity of Pentamidine Alone and in Combination With Aminoglycosides, Tigecycline, Rifampicin, and Doripenem Against Clinical Strains of Carbapenemase-Producing and/or Colistin-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Enterobacteriaceae cause different types of community- and hospital-acquired infections. Moreover, the spread of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae is a public health problem and the World Health Organization pointed them among the pathogens in which

The highly dynamic nature of bacterial heteroresistance impairs its clinical detection
Bacterial populations can show heteroresistance, where an antibiotic resistant subpopulation is part of a susceptible one. Pereira et al. show in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica that disk diffusion, a common antibiotic susceptibility test ...

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the significance of heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus isolates [PDF]
The prevalence of heteroresistant vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) is 1.3% in published studies. Clinical associations include high-inoculum infections and glycopeptide failure, with hVISA infections associated with a 2.37-times ...

Heteroresistance to Fluconazole and Voriconazole in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
ABSTRACT Cryptococcus neoformans isolates that exhibited unusual patterns of resistance to fluconazole and voriconazole were isolated from seven isolates from two different geographical regions: one isolate from an Israeli non-AIDS patient and six serial isolates from an Italian AIDS patient who had suffered six ...

Sequence analyses of just four genes to detect extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients undergoing treatment [PDF]
The rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates resistant to second-line drugs is crucial for the institution of appropriate treatment regimens as early as possible.

Resolving colistin resistance and heteroresistance in Enterobacter species
Abstract Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) represent globally important nosocomial pathogens. A three-year study of ECC in Germany identified Enterobacter xiangfangensis as the most common species (65.5%) detected, a result replicated by examining a global pool of 3246 isolates.

Heteroresistance to Colistin in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae Producing OXA-48
Heteroresistance to colistin can be defined as the presence of resistant subpopulations in an isolate that is susceptible to this antibiotic. Colistin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is more frequently related to chromosomal mutations and insertions.
