The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) resistance among carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) blood culture isolates as well performance main carbapenemase phenotypic detection methods identify KPC variants associated with CZA resistance.Non-duplicate CPE strains isolated from cultures during 2018-2020 were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility. Molecular testing used carbapenemase-producers. Strains harbouring blaKPC and a minimum...
Background: The international surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) reports S. pneumoniae as one leading causes death associated with AMR. Against invasive disease, several vaccinations are available and a reduction in AMR has been observed. Here, we evaluated the impact anti-pneumococcal vaccination policy SARS-CoV2 outbreak on causing disease. Methods: We collected all strains disease from 2008 Piedmont region (Italy). Each strain was typed order to identify serogroup data about...
Fosfomycin is an old bactericidal drug that has gained increasing interest in the last decade for its potential use multi-drug resistant gram-negative infections. However, evidence on fosfomycin susceptibility testing reports a poor correlation between commercial methods vs. reference agar dilution (AD) Enterobacterales (EB). The study aimed at assessing performance of two automated systems determination EB clinical isolates.Fosfomycin results collections 100 non-duplicate strains obtained...
The lack of internationally approved breakpoint and a handy susceptibility testing reduces fosfomycin usefulness against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Previous works defined low or moderate agreement between commercial methods the reference method (agar dilution [AD]). In particular, data about P. We compared disk diffusion (DD), E-test (ET), automated broth microdilution (BMD) to AD by 150 aeruginosa isolates. obtained better categorical (CA) for DD ET minimal inhibitory concentration >128 mg/L...
