Accurate detection of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales from bloodstream infection (BSI) is of paramount importance for both epidemiological and clinical purposes, especially for optimization of antibiotic stewardship interventions. Three phenotypic methods for the detection of ESBL phenotype in Klebsiella pneumoniae a...

Viral respiratory tract infections cause significant morbidity in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients. Speed and sensitivity of the FilmArray™ Respiratory Panel (FA-RP) can improve care but may prompt inappropriate testing. Studies describing FA-RP use in pediatric BMT patients are limited; we investigated FA-RP use, results, and clinical managem...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were consecutively collected from patients with pneumonia in 29 medical centers in 2020 and susceptibility tested by broth microdilution method. Ceftazidime-avibactam (95.5% susceptible), imipenem-relebactam (94.3% susceptible), and ceftolozane-tazobactam (93.3% susceptible) were the most active compounds after colis...

Non-β-hemolytic streptococci (NBHS) cause infective endocarditis (IE) and a short blood culture time to positivity (TTP) is associated with risk of IE in bacteremia with other pathogens. In this retrospective population-based cohort study, we investigate if TTP is associated to IE or mortality. Of 263 episodes with NBHS bacteremia, 28 represented I...

Clinical and laboratory data on newly described staphylococcal species is rare, which hampers decision-making when such pathogens are detected in clinical specimens. Here, we describe Staphylococcus massiliensis detected in three patients at a university hospital in southwest Germany. We report the discrepancy of microbiological findings between ma...

Influenza A virus (IAV) H1N1 infection remains great challenge to public health and causes great burden over the world. Although there are anti-viral agents available, searching for effective agents to treat H1N1 infection is still in urgent because of the emergence of resistant strain. Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a biological agent with multiple ...

Purpose To evaluate the prevalence of multi-carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (EB) and the activity of cefiderocol (CFDC), meropenem-vaborbactam (MEV), ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA), and combinations of CZA plus aztreonam (ATM), MEV plus ATM and CFDC plus CZA against them. Methods A collection of carbapenemase-producing EB clinical isolates ( ...

This st udy aims to evaluate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in locked-down family households to determine viral dynamics and immunity acquisition. COVID-19 individuals and their households in lockdown under the same roof during early spring 2020 were interviewed and tested using rapid immunochromatographic lateral flow antibodies assays (L...

The objective was to study ceftazidime-avibactam resistant and susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a patient admitted to the Policlinico Umberto I of Rome for SARS-CoV2. Data on the evolution of patient’s conditions, antimicrobial therapies, and microbiological data were collected. Whole-genome sequencing performed by Illumina and Nanop...

Necrotizing soft-tissue infection (NSTI) is a life-threatening pathology that often requires management in intensive care unit (ICU). Therapies consist of early diagnosis, adequate surgical source control, and antimicrobial therapy. Whereas guidelines underline the need for appropriate routine microbiological cultures before starting antimicrobial ...
