Proposed Meropenem Breakpoints for Interpretation of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Bacteria Isolated From Dogs

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meropenem is a carbapenem antibiotic used infrequently in veterinary medicine. However, antimicrobial susceptibility testing standards are needed to monitor for resistance caused by carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) does not have veterinary‐specific carbapenem breakpoints for ...

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

open access: yesPhotochemistry 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.

ARC in Critical Ill OLT Recipients: True Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Impact on Early Aggressive PK/PD Target Non‐Attainment of CI Beta‐Lactam Therapy for Posttransplant Gram‐Negative Infections

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Augmented renal clearance (ARC) represents a quite prevalent condition among critical orthotopic liver transplant recipients (23.2%). ARC is associated with different demographics and clinical features and significantly affects the attainment of aggressive beta‐lactams pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets despite the administration of standard ...

Serious Bacterial Infections in Hospitalized Neonates in Eastern Ethiopia: Investigating the Emerging Pathogen Pantoea dispersa Compared With Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) are major contributors to neonatal morbidity and mortality in low‐income countries. We describe the aetiology and risk factors for neonatal bacteraemia and in‐hospital mortality in eastern Ethiopia, focusing on Pantoea dispersa, a rarely studied pathogen, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
