Background: Premature newborns represent a vulnerable population, at high risk of acquiring nosocomial infections during neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Multidrug-resistant organisms the greatest concern due to their intrinsic virulence and limited therapeutic options. Resistant Enterobacterales are growing threat for critically ill neonates, with increasing numbers NICU outbreaks caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing being described. This study reports...
Mycobacterium chimaera is a slow-growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium already known for being able to colonize cardio surgery heater–cooler units (HCUs). This study aims describe the real magnitude of phenomenon, providing methodological protocol and results longitudinal survey. In period 1 January 2017–23 May 2022, over 1191 samples were collected on 35 HCUs two different manufacturers. Among them, we identified 118 (10.3%) positive M. chimaera.
