Background The war in Ukraine led to migration of Ukrainian people. Early 2022, several European national surveillance systems detected multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria related patients. Aim To investigate the genomic epidemiology New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing Providencia stuartii from patients among countries. Methods Whole-genome sequencing 66 isolates sampled 2022–2023 10 countries enabled whole-genome multilocus sequence typing (wgMLST), identification resistance genes,...
We describe the introduction of NDM-1-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST147 and Escherichia coli ST410, OXA-48-producing K. ST101 strains to Poland by two patients transported country after hospitalisation in Tunisia. The had gunshot wounds following terrorist attack Bardo National Museum Tunis March 2015. Our report reinforces need for microbiological screening returning from travel on admission healthcare institutions, especially countries where carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae...
Abstract Objectives To assess the spread of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST147 organisms in Poland since an introduction from Tunisia March 2015, including their phylogenetic position global population high-risk clone. Methods Out 8925 unique NDM-positive K. isolates identified April 2015 till December 2019, 126 isolates, Tunisian imports, were related by PFGE and blaNDM gene-carrying Tn125 transposon derivatives. Forty-seven representative...
Infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are a serious therapeutic and clinical problem. An increasing role of ESBL(+) pathogens is observed in both community- hospital-acquired infections. The aim the study was to assess incidence risk factors for bacteria infection pediatric ward during 5-year period.The medical documentation data patients hospitalized Department Pediatrics, Pediatric Nephrology Allergology between 2011 2015 were subjected...
Abstract Background Bacteria of the Lactobacillus family are a part physiological flora oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. We have used them in food industry as probiotics supplements. In some settings, rod-shaped lactic acid bacteria may become pathogenic. It occur immunocompromised or heart disease patients after cardiac surgery, with disturbed intestinal wall permeability, those treated broad-spectrum antibiotics. Case presentation present rare bacteraemia induced by...
A deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) can become a severe complication after cardiac surgery, with in-hospital mortality rates reaching up to 35%. Staphylococci, particularly methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), play important roles in its etiology. This case report presents patient who underwent coronary artery bypass and suffered postoperatively from DSWI caused by MRSA. The pathogen was susceptible vancomycin rifampicin vitro; however, this therapy clinically ineffective....
Hospital-acquired bloodstream infections are a severe worldwide problem associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This retrospective, single-center study aimed to analyze in patients hospitalized the intensive care unit of Military Institute Medicine, Poland. Data from years 2007-2019 were analyzed. When infection was suspected, blood samples drawn analyzed microbiologically. bacterial growth observed, an antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance analysis performed. Among 12,619...
The members of the bacterial Enterobacteriaceae family play an important role in aetiology many hospital infections. Some them are able to produce β-lactamase, enzyme which induces resistance those bacteria penicillins, cephalosporins and, severe infections, penicillins with β-lactamase inhibitors. In this situation, carbapenems become drugs choice. objective study was analyse vitro efficacy three carbapenems: ertapenem, imipenem and meropenem against species family.A total 99 (including ten...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) resistance to antimicrobials may result in the increased risk of treatment failure. The objective study was analyse vitro MRSA susceptibility vancomycin, linezolid, daptomycin, tigecycline, ceftaroline, dalbavancin, clindamycin, ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. All strains isolated from hospitalised patients were analysed according current microbiological recommendations. Finally, a total 124 analysed; all susceptible tested...
This article presents the results of a preliminary study concerning cases Chlamydia trachomatis infections among professional soldiers in Polish Armed Forces. Soldiers who declared casual sexual contact with women were investigated this regarding transmission chlamydial by activity. In total, 66 healthy, sexually active soldiers, aged between 27 and 44, didn't report any symptoms urogenital infection investigated. Urine samples taken from these patients using molecular methods (Cobas TaqMan,...
Seasonal outbreaks of respiratory syncytial virus are common among young children and represent an important clinical problem. The infection can affect all floors the system. Respiratory is highly infectious most aetiological agent bronchiolitis. It estimated that 90% develop by age 2 years. In Poland other countries northern hemisphere, these infections usually occur between October May, with a peak in January–February. During global COVID-19 pandemic, significant change was observed...
Abstract Eight hot topics regarding the diagnosis and management of bacterial skin infections were selected reviewed by five experts from different European countries, chosen based on their expertise in microbiology, infectious diseases, dermatology. As noninfectious diseases/conditions such as atopic dermatitis can be complicated infections, including Acute Bacterial Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI), a collaboration between dermatologists disease specialists promote rational approach to...
Introduction and objective: Acute gastroenteritis, a common childhood illness worldwide, manifests with symptoms including fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea. It is highly contagious, transmission occurring through contaminated water, food, or poor hygiene. Globally, 1.7 billion cases of diarrhoeal diseases are diagnosed annually, causing approximately 525,000 deaths among children under the age five. Dehydration caused by diarrhoea primary cause hospitalisation, particularly in...
