Objectives Rapid identification of drug‐resistant tuberculosis remains critical for the initiation of appropriate treatment regimens, improved success rates and reduction in the development of drug resistance. In this study, we compared the diagnostic performance of two novel diagnostic tests, Xpert MTB/XDR and Deeplex Myc‐TB (both CE marked).

Epidemiology and Clinical Impact of Glycopeptide Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
: Staphylococcus aureus with resistance to glycopeptide antibiotics has been considered to be a rare cause of clinically relevant infections. A review of the current literature shows that this is indeed the case for infections caused by S.

In vitro antimicrobials activity against endemic Acinetobacter baumannii multiresistant clones [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have been reported increasingly around the world. The administration of an association of antibiotics has been proposed to create an active combination and to prevent the emergence of ...

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 relevant knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Impact of Resistance to Fluconazole on Virulence and Morphological Aspects of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii Isolates [PDF]
Cryptococcus spp. are responsible for around one million cases of meningitis every year. Fluconazole (FLU) is commonly used in the treatment of cryptococcosis, mainly in immunocompromised patients and the resistance is usually reported after long periods

Scope and Predictive Genetic/Phenotypic Signatures of Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) Responsiveness and β-Lactam Sensitization in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
Addition of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) to standard antimicrobial susceptibility testing medium reveals certain methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains to be highly susceptible to β-lactams.

Evaluation of three broth microdilution systems to determine colistin susceptibility of Gram-negative bacilli [PDF]
The broth microdilution (BMD) method is currently the recommended technique to determine susceptibility to colistin.Objectives: We evaluated the accuracy of three commercialized BMD panels [Sensititre (ThermoFisher Diagnostics), UMIC (Biocentric) and ...
