Evaluation of Xpert MTB/XDR and Deeplex Myc‐TB for the Rapid Detection of Drug Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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).

Clinical characteristics, molecular epidemiology and mechanisms of colistin heteroresistance in Enterobacter cloacae complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionColistin has emerged as the last resort for treating multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) infections. The primary purposes of this study were to demonstrate the presence of colistin heteroresistance in ECC and to further ...

Epidemiology and Clinical Impact of Glycopeptide Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
: 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]

open access: yes, 2010
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 ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 23: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2025

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 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 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]

open access: yes, 2016
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

Systematic Evaluation of Helicobacter pylori Susceptibility to Antibiotics Before First‐Line Treatment: A Cohort Study

open access: yesUnited European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 1289-1294, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background European guidelines recommend that susceptibility tests be routinely performed, even before prescribing first‐line treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. However, empirical treatments are the rule in France, and susceptibility‐guided treatments are the exception.
