Molecular characteristics of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacilli in pediatric patients in China

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacilli (CR-GNB) have been increasingly reported in China. However, dynamic monitoring data on molecular epidemiology of CR-GNB are limited in pediatric patients.

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.

Tailoring MXene Flake Morphology via Aerosol Jet Printing for Biological and Strain Sensor Applications

Small, EarlyView.
Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP), coupled with a novel in situ monitoring method, enabled the controlled fabrication of aligned and crumpled Ti3C2Tx MXenes for diverse applications. Demonstrated across multiple 2D materials, this scalable strategy stablishes flake morphology as a controllable design parameter for engineering application‐specific material ...

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)

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 ...

Evolutionary and Epidemiological Characterization of Multidrug‐Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated From Pangolins in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malayan pangolin populations have fallen to a critically endangered level, and illegal trafficking of wild pangolins is a global problem. Little is known about antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria (MDRB) harbored by pangolins, although pangolins are frequently consumed as food or used in traditional medicine. In this study, we report for the first

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.
