The Synergy Between a Silver‐Ruthenium Antimicrobial and Aminoglycosides Is Based on Severe Macromolecular Damage

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
AGXX enhances aminoglycoside activity against multidrug‐resistant pathogens such as uropathogenic Escherichia coli by increasing reactive oxygen species, causing protein aggregation and DNA damage. This effect is reduced by oxygen limitation or antioxidants. Polyphosphate protects cells from oxidative damage.

Neonatal nosocomial infections

Seminars in Perinatology, 1998
Nosocomial acquisition of infection is now the most common mode of transmission of infection in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Surveillance studies have shown rates of infection in the NICU of 15% to 20%, which are as high as those in adult medical or surgical ICUs and higher than those in most pediatric ICUs.

Incidental Detection of Respiratory Viruses in Lung Transplant Donor‐Recipient Pairs: Exploratory Associations With Clinical Outcomes in a Post Hoc Analysis

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In 53 lung transplant donor‐recipient pairs, community‐acquired respiratory viruses were incidentally detected by syndromic PCR in 13.2% of donor and 20.8% of recipient bronchoalveolar lavages, with exploratory, unadjusted signals towards longer hospitalization and chronic lung allograft dysfunction.

Aetiology and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Common Bacterial Infections in Hospitalised Patients: A 2019 Multisite Cross‐Sectional Survey in Jakarta, Indonesia

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To describe the aetiology and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of common bacterial infections in hospitalised patients in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods We conducted a hospital‐wide point prevalence survey in six hospitals in 2019, capturing data from routinely ordered bacterial cultures taken before the start of antibiotic treatment.

Age‐Related and Seasonal Variation in Malaria and Other Causes of Fever and Their Association With Clinical Outcomes in Southern Angola: A Hospital‐Based Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute febrile illnesses in sub‐Saharan Africa are often attributed to malaria, yet many patients test negative for malaria parasites. The aetiology of nonmalarial fevers remains understudied. Here, we examine likely causes of febrile illnesses and their association with poor clinical outcomes in Angola.
