Isolation of carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms from samples of raw‐meat diets for dogs in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms are an emerging threat in veterinary medicine that also have zoonotic potential. However, little is known about the prevalence and risks of these organisms in pet food. We present the incidental finding of gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms within samples of raw meat diets for dogs in the United Kingdom ...

Exploring the efficacy of combination of point-of-use filters and peracetic acid disinfection in reducing total viable counts in final rinse water of endoscopes

Scientific Reports
The final rinse water pollution of endoscopes in medical institutions is a severe growing problem, posing a latent risk to nosocomial infection. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of combination of point-of-use (POU) filters and peracetic acid (PAA)

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Efficacy of Antimicrobial Silver‐Plated Dressings Compared to Usual Care in Preventing Left Ventricular Assist Device Driveline Infections

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Integrating silver‐plated wound dressings into DLES care presents a safe and effective strategy for DLI prevention. Key findings include a 100% infection‐free rate in the Silverlon group, no NPWT and hospital readmission in the Silverlon group, and no severe DESTINE stages (3, 4) in the Silverlon group.

A single-center study on epidemiology, microbial distribution, and mortality predictors in catheter-related bloodstream infections

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are an important cause of mortality, and increased healthcare costs. The study aimed to investigate the epidemiology, microbial distribution, and predictors of 28-day mortality in CRBSI cases at

Assessment of extended-spectrum β-lactamases and integrons among Enterobacteriaceae in device-associated infections: multicenter study in north of Iran

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2016
Background Device-associated nosocomial infections (DA-NIs), due to MDR Enterobacteriaceae, are a major threat to patient safety in ICUs. We investigated on Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae and incidence of integrons in ...

Genome sequences of two clinical Escherichia coli isolates harboring the novel colistin-resistance gene variants mcr-1.26 and mcr-1.27

Gut Pathogens, 2020
Background Colistin is still a widely used antibiotic in veterinary medicine although it is a last-line treatment option for hospitalized patients with infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

Sepsis and Antibiotics in Extremely Preterm Infants: Early Empirical Treatment Was Common, While Late‐Onset Sepsis Accounted for Most Cases and Antibiotic Use

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim was to investigate the incidence of sepsis and use of antibiotics among extremely preterm infants, given the limited number of population‐based studies examining this. Methods This retrospective study in Eastern Denmark included all liveborn infants from 23 + 0 weeks/days to 27 + 6 weeks/days of gestation from 2019 to 21.
