Background/Objectives: According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, improved antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) combined with rapid diagnostic tests could potentially prevent thousands of deaths caused by multidrug-resistant organisms annually. This study aimed compare results obtained using Unyvero system/hospital-acquired pneumonia (HPN) panel those classic microbiological methods evaluate potential introducing this test into routine diagnosis improving local...

Infections represent a major complication for burn-injured patients. The aim of this study was to highlight the changes in incidence and antimicrobial resistance bacterial strains isolated from burn patients, at end COVID-19 pandemic, relation antibiotics used during pandemic. A comparative analysis demographic data microorganisms identified clinical samples two groups patients admitted university hospital Romania carried out. first group consisted 48 second 69 hospitalized January-August...

Abstract Human mpox is a zoonotic disease, caused by the virus (MPXV), that can spread either between animals and humans or humans. In 1970 first human case of was reported in Zaire, Democratic Republic Congo (DRC). Other notable outbreaks non-endemic countries were identified June 2003 United States, July 2021 Dallas (USA), most recent one May 2022 Europe Kingdom (UK). During outbreak, sexual intercourse observed to be prevalent transmission method, although other means should not ignored,...

Phage therapy is gaining increasing interest in the fight against critically resistant nosocomial pathogens. However, narrow host range of bacteriophages hampers development broadly effective phage therapeutics and demands precision approaches. Here we combine large-scale phylogeographical analysis with high-throughput typing to guide cocktails targeting carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, a top-priority pathogen. Our reveals that few strain types dominate infections each world...
