Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) cause health care-associated infections worldwide, and they are of severe concern due to limited treatment options. We report an outbreak KPC-2-producing CRE that was caused by horizontal transmission a promiscuous plasmid across different genera bacteria hospitals in Germany. Eleven isolates (8 Citrobacter freundii, 2 Klebsiella oxytoca, 1 Escherichia coli) were obtained from seven critically ill patients during the six months 2016. One patient...
Fluconazole-resistant Candida parapsilosis has emerged as a significant health-care-associated pathogen with propensity to spread patient and cause nosocomial outbreaks, similar auris. This study investigates long-lasting outbreak of fluconazole-resistant C that was initially detected in December, 2018, January, 2019, officially declared November, 2019; lasted multiple years; involved several health-care centres Berlin, Germany.
Abstract Background Approximately 20–25% of patients who survive medical treatment at an intensive care unit (ICU) develop post-traumatic stress symptoms. There is currently a gap in follow-up for them. As part the PICTURE study, general practitioners (GPs) carried out brief interview-based intervention. The aim this sub-study to record most distressing memories ICU from patient’s perspective and their evaluation GP-based psychological Methods Participants were recruited intervention group...
Summary Background Fluconazole-resistant Candida parapsilosis has emerged as a significant healthcare-associated pathogen with propensity to spread patient-to-patient and cause nosocomial outbreaks, similar auris . This study investigates prolonged outbreak of fluconazole-resistant C. across multiple years healthcare centers in Berlin, Germany. Methods In this retrospective observational study, we used whole-genome sequencing isolates from the Berlin other regions within Germany compared...
The results of critical illness and life-saving invasive measures during intensive care unit treatment can sometimes lead to lasting physical psychological impairments. A multicentre randomized controlled trial from Germany (PICTURE) aims test a brief intervention, based on narrative exposure therapy, for post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following in the primary setting. qualitative analysis was conducted understand feasibility acceptance intervention beyond quantitative main outcomes...
Mycobacterium chelonae is a rare cause of infective endocarditis that difficult to diagnose and treat. After we found M in series patients, aimed investigate its role cardiovascular prosthesis dysfunction contamination bioprostheses as possible infection.
Background: The clinical significance of the detection Candida albicans on mucous membranes respiratory or intestinal tract from patients in intensive care units is still not finally clarified. Many reveal colonization, although, despite increased risk, there are only a few invasive infections detectable. Therefore, antimycotic therapy this setting strongly discouraged. In reality, however, many receive antimycotics as pre-emptive therapy. To elucidate point, literature research was...
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Intensivmedizinische Aufenthalte führen bei vorbelasteten Menschen häufig zu Symptomen einer posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (Post-ICU-PTBS).

Abstract Background For clinicians treating patients with infective endocarditis (IE), identifying the causative microorganisms poses a critical diagnostic challenge. Standard techniques including blood and heart valve cultures often yield inconclusive results. According to recent 2023 Duke-ISCVID Criteria, molecular methods represent potent tools enhance this aspect of IE diagnostics guide subsequent therapeutic strategies. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 124 consecutive who...
