Emergence of difficult-to-treat-resistance (DTR) P. aeruginosa has significant implications for the selection empirical therapies. This study aims to compare antimicrobial resistance from ICU and non-ICU patients discuss treatment options. Three-hundred-nine strains isolated hospitalized in 2023 were included. Antimicrobial susceptibility results six classes with potential activity against collected. Resistance between was compared. Among 309 strains, 30% patients, while 70% non-ICU....
Cladosporium species are ubiquitous dematiaceous fungi, widely found in the indoor and outdoor environments. They considered a frequent source of contamination laboratory settings. In human pathology, is main agent phaeohyphomycosis, known to cause subcutaneous brain abscess, especially immunocompromised hosts. The route disseminated infections mainly hematogenous after inhalation spores. However, direct inoculation could be possible. We report first case para-aortic abscess with thrombus...
In recent years, the diagnosis of bloodstream infections has been complemented by rapid microbiological methods, unattainable to most clinical laboratories in resource-limited settings. We evaluated impact their shortage on antibiotic therapy adequacy. conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study including 150 adult Gram-negative bacilli bacteremia episodes, evenly distributed across three university hospitals: one Lebanon, setting, and two France, resource-rich setting. Previous...
