Antibiotic resistance and molecular typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: focus on imipenem

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Susceptibility tests by disk diffusion and by E-test and molecular typing by macrorestriction analysis were performed to determine the relatedness of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from three distinct hospitals. The resistance profile of 124 isolates to

A systematic scoping review of metrics utilized to measure antibiotic consumption in hospital settings

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs were introduced to promote the judicious use of antimicrobials and to combat antimicrobial resistance. Quantifying antibiotic consumption is an important part of AMS initiatives to achieve these objectives.

Genomic epidemiology and lineage‐specific risk stratification of tet(X4)‐mediated tigecycline resistance along the pork production chain: A One Health perspective

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Genome surveillance across a swine‐associated One Health continuum in China shows that slaughterhouses act as major enrichment nodes for tet(X4)‐mediated tigecycline resistance, driven by putative clonal transmission and stable plasmid backbones. Integrating global datasets enables lineage‐specific risk stratification, highlighting key control points ...

Multicenter Performance Evaluation of MALDI-TOF MS for Rapid Detection of Carbapenemase Activity in Enterobacterales: The Future of Networking Data Analysis With Online Software

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
In this study, we evaluate the performance of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for rapid detection of carbapenemase activity in Enterobacterales in clinical microbiology laboratories during a ...

Potent monoclonal antibodies against multidrug‐resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
A novel immunization strategy using a low‐virulence, multidrug‐resistant strain yields synergistic monoclonal antibodies against hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae. These antibodies provide cross‐serotype protection through a dual‐mechanism of pathogen clearance and immunomodulation, offering a promising non‐antibiotic therapeutic for resistant ...

Detecting Antibiotic Resistance in Strains of Selected Gram‐Negative Bacterial Species Using Raman Spectroscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy successfully identified antibiotic‐resistant Gram‐negative strains. Resistant strains of four bacterial species were discriminated from sensitive ones with 99.1% accuracy using PLS regression. The method allows for rapid, label‐free detection of antibiotic resistance.

Utility of the ceftazidime-imipenem antagonism test (CIAT) to detect and confirm the presence of inducible AmpC beta-lactamases among enterobacteriaceae

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Detection of AmpC beta-lactamase production by enterobacteria has been problematic. Contrary to ESBLs, no specific guidelines are available for detection and confirmation of AmpC production by clinical relevant microorganisms.

Juvenile Gangrenous Vasculitis of the Scrotum or Scrotum Lipschütz Ulcers

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipschütz genital ulcers are traditionally described in adolescent females and often linked to acute viral infections. Their male counterpart remains poorly characterised. We report a 59‐year‐old man with sudden onset of unilateral necrotic ulcers on the scrotum and inguinal region following a brief febrile episode and mild pharyngitis ...
