Infections Complicating Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Study Emphasizing Graft-Related Septicemia [PDF]
In 93 recipients of 102 orthotopic liver homografts, the incidence of bacteremia or fungemia exceeded 70%. The graft itself was usually an entry site for systemic infection after both immunologic and nonimmunologic parenchymal injury, especially if there

Global burden of colistin-resistant bacteria : mobilized colistin resistance genes study (1980-2018) [PDF]
Colistin is considered to be an antimicrobial of last-resort for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. The recent global dissemination of mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes is an urgent public health threat.

Development and application of an antibiotic spectrum index for benchmarking antibiotic selection patterns across hospitals [PDF]
Standard metrics for antimicrobial use consider volume but not spectrum of antimicrobial prescribing. We developed an antibiotic spectrum index (ASI) to classify commonly used antibiotics based on activity against important pathogens.

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Detection of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumonia using two Sensitivity Methods
Carbapenems, potent β-lactams antibiotics, were initially used as last-resort treatments for severe Gram-negative bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumonia. These bacteria were considered one of Enterbacteriaceae family associated with pneumonia and urinary
