Diagnosis of bacteraemia in neonatal foals using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in foals. Early diagnosis can improve outcome but is complicated by non‐specific clinical signs and delayed confirmation of infection via blood culture. Molecular assays represent a rapid and more sensitive alternative.

Comprehensive genomic investigation of adaptive mutations driving the low-level oxacillin resistance phenotype in staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

, 2020
Antistaphylococcal penicillins such as oxacillin are the key antibiotics in the treatment of invasive methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infections; however, mec gene-independent resistance adaptation can cause treatment failure ...

Challenges for interpreting results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing for treating infections of foals with Rhodococcus equi

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular pathogen and a major cause of pneumonia in foals worldwide. The standard treatment for affected foals is a combination of a macrolide with rifampicin. The widespread use of this combination has led to the emergence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) strains of R. equi.

Genetic Variation in the blaZ Gene Leading to the BORSA Phenotype in Staphylococcus aureus

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bacteraemia in Danish hospitals. Approximately 70% of clinical S. aureus isolates are penicillin-resistant, which is predominantly due to blaZ-mediated β-lactamase production.

ISAba1‐mediated crp‐osmC amplification enhances host‐associated fitness in Acinetobacter baumannii

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogen, highly adaptable to both hospital‐ and host‐associated environments. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying its adaptability is critical for controlling its persistence. Our study identified the crp‐osmC gene cluster, flanked by ISAba1 elements, as a significant genetic structure undergoing ...

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

Photochemistry 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.
