Evaluating eravacycline's efficacy against pediatric carbapenem-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> in China: a 6-year study. [PDF]

Microbiol Spectr
Eravacycline (ERV) has demonstrated promising in vitro antibacterial activity against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Nonetheless, its clinical application in pediatric cases remains underexplored.

A molecular epidemiological and transmission analysis of Clostridioides difficile using draft whole-genome sequencing in a single hospital [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background The nosocomial transmission of toxin-producing Clostridioides difficile is a significant concern in infection control. C. difficile, which resides in human intestines, poses a risk of transmission, especially when patients are in close contact

Systematic review of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae causing neonatal sepsis in China [PDF]

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2019
Background Carbapenems are β-lactam antibiotics which are used to treat severe infections caused by multidrug resistant Enterobacteriacea. The recent emergence and rapid spread of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to carbapenems is a global concern.

Unusual finding of the human-adapted hypervirulent serotype III/ST17 clone in a historical bovine Group B Streptococcus isolate from Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2021
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of human neonatal infections and bovine mastitis. We report here the unusual finding of the human-adapted hypervirulent serotype III/ST17 clone in a bovine GBS isolated in 1987 in Brazil. This isolate shared several phenotypic and genotypic characteristics with serotype III/ST17 strains obtained from human

Biofilm formation by ST17 and ST19 strains of Streptococcus agalactiae.

Research in Microbiology, 2020
Bacterial biofilms are an important virulence factor with a vital role in evasion from the host immune system, colonization and infection. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro the effects of three environmental factors (H+, glucose and human plasma) in biofilm formation, by carrier and invasive Streptococcus agalactiae strains of ST17 ...

Molecular epidemiology and virulence factors of group B Streptococcus in South Korea according to the invasiveness [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Group B Streptococcus (GBS) causes invasive infections in newborns and elderly individuals, but is a noninvasive commensal bacterium in most immunocompetent people.

Detection of antibiotic resistance and capsular types of group B streptococci isolated from vaginal swabs of pregnant women [PDF]

Medicinski Podmladak, 2023
Introduction: Group B streptococcus (GBS) is an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes the gastrointestinal and genital tract of 10 - 30% of healthy people. It can cause early or late-onset neonatal disease manifested as pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis.
