International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading nosocomial pathogen in intensive care units (ICUs), often resistant to multiple antibiotics. Data from the Baltic region remain scarce, limiting infection control and stewardship strategies. Methods We conducted an integrated phenotypic–genotypic analysis of A.

Comparative Evaluation of MIRONAUT-AM and CLSI broth microdilution method for antifungal susceptibility testing of Aspergillus species against four commonly used antifungals [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2019 Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate a colorimetric method, MIRONAUT-AM, for determining susceptibility testing of anidulafungin, amphotericin, voriconazole, and itraconazole by comparing the minimum inhibitory (effective) concentrations (MICs/MECs) obtained by this method to those generated by the reference Clinical ...

Magnetotactic Sperm Cells for Assisted Reproduction
Small, Volume 20, Issue 23, June 5, 2024.In this work, sperm‐driven micromotors based on the binding of magnetic microparticles to the heads of motile sperm cells are investigated as a biohybrid system for the targeted delivery of spermatozoa. These micromotors can be fabricated in large numbers, have a fast swimming speed, and can be used in protocols for in vitro fertilization.

Veterinary Record, Volume 194, Issue 7, 30 March-13 April 2024.Abstract Background Legislation was introduced in Germany in 2018, requiring bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing before the prescription of fluoroquinolones and third‐generation cephalosporins to dogs. We hypothesised that, following this intervention, the number of clinical samples testing positive for methicillin‐resistant ...

A methicillin rezisztens és érzékeny Staphylococcus aureus törzsek virulenciájának genetikai, valamint az általuk okozott fertőzések molekuláris pathomechanizmusának in vitro és in vivo vizsgálata = Genetics of the virulence of methicillin resistant versus sensitive Staphylococcus aureus strains, as well as in vitro and in vivo studies on the molecular pathomechanisms of associated infections [PDF]
, 2009 Vizsgáltuk az MRSA törzsek gyakoriságát a Semmelweis, a Skopjei és a Debreceni Egyetem klinikáin 2001-2005 között kezelt betegekből kitenyészett S. aureus törzsek között. A magyar törzsek 7.8%-a, ill. 7.2%-a, míg a macadón törzsek 31.4%-a volt MRSA. Az
