Urban ants as potential mechanical vectors of pathogenic and antibiotic‐resistant bacteria in a Brazilian hospital

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Nine ant taxa were identified in a Brazilian hospital, with Tapinoma melanocephalum and Dorymyrmex brunneus being the most abundant. Eighty‐five percent of collected ants yielded detectable bacterial growth, including clinically relevant genera such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli and Pluralibacter.

The effects of far‐UVC irradiation on the presence and concentration of ESKAPEE pathogens on hospital surfaces: Study protocol for a multi‐site, double‐blinded randomized controlled trial in La Paz, Bolivia

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The protocol of a multi‐site, double‐blinded, clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) with a binary outcome of the presence of viable presumptive ESKAPEE pathogens on surfaces in and around hospital sinks is to be implemented in two Bolivian hospitals.

Linezolid-Associated Neurologic Adverse Events in Patients with Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Linezolid is one of the most effective drugs for treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB), but adverse effects remain problematic. We evaluated 57 MDR TB patients who had received >1 dose of linezolid during 2011–2016.

Clinical Significance of Organ Preservation Fluid Cultures in Pediatric Abdominal Solid Organ Transplantation

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In this pediatric abdominal solid organ transplant cohort, preservation fluid‐related infections were rare but occurred in infant liver transplant recipients whose preservation fluid cultures grew pathogenic organisms. These findings suggest that routine bacterial preservation fluid cultures may be most useful for identifying clinically significant ...
