Abstract We evaluated the MBT LipidART module on a MALDI Biotyper® Sirius System (Bruker Daltonics) for rapid detection of colistin resistance in Escherichia coli (EC) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) by analysing lipid A profiles negative ion mode. Categorical agreement was achieved 98.3% EC ( N = 58) 85.0% KPN 40). Challenges included calibration difficulties, limited availability compatible equipment issues with mucoid adherent isolates that yielded invalid results. While shows promise as...
Noroviruses are the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis, and they can affect humans all age groups. In immunocompromised patients, norovirus infections develop into chronic diarrhea or show prolonged asymptomatic virus shedding. Chronic frequently reported for solid organ transplant recipients, with rapid intrahost evolution seen. this report, we describe a case infection in an patient who was followed up over 5 years. The purpose study to specify chronically infected host identify...
Abstract Background Candida bloodstream infections (BSI) became an important invasive disease in the late 20th century, particular among immunocompromised patients. Although considerable progress has been made management of patients with mycoses, BSI are still widespread hospitalised and associated relatively high mortality. Objectives We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate patient characteristics, incidence, species distribution antifungal susceptibility isolates spp. as well...
Abstract Our study evaluates the performance of two rapid phenotypical tests to detect colistin resistance in Enterobacterales : Alifax AST test using HB&L system and Rapid Polymyxin NP prepared in-house. A collection well-characterized 53 colistin-susceptible 66 colistin-resistant isolates was used. The results obtained both were compared reference broth microdilution. Overall categorical agreement 81.5% for 98.3% test. Based on our results, is superior that performed inadequate...
Purpose. Increasing consumption of colistin as treatment for infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) has been accompanied by increasingly frequent reports colistin-resistant (ColR) MDR GNB. Higher selective pressure creates a favourable environment that can facilitate the spread ColR isolates. Monitoring asymptomatic GNB carriage give us better understanding this emerging healthcare problem, particularly in wards higher polymyxin and prevalence...
