Although clinical definitions of acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infection (ABSSSI) are now well established, guidance of the prediction of likely pathogens based on evidence is missing. This was a large survey of the microbiology of ABSSSIs in Greece. During the period November 2014 to December 2016, all admissions for ABSSSI in 16 departm...

Accurate assessment of colistin susceptibility is crucial with the increasing number of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and simultaneously increasing colistin resistance. Both EUCAST and CLSI recommend broth microdilution (BMD) to determine colistin susceptibility, however it is cumbersome and growth-dependent. In this study, a rapid flo...

Due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, new antituberculosis drugs are urgently required to improve the efficacy of current tuberculosis (TB) treatment. To achieve this goal, ca. 1000 chemical compounds were screened for potential antimycobacterial activity, among which...

Clofazimine (CFZ) is a promising candidate drug for use in the management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients. In this study, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method and checkerboard method were used to investigate potential synergies between CFZ and moxifloxacin (MOX) or capreomycin (CAP). Thirty Mycobacterium tuberculo...

Mixed HCV genotype (GT) infections are clinically important as different genotypes have different sensitivities to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). A high prevalence of mixed GT infections was observed in people who inject drugs due to their multiple HCV exposures. The prevalence of mixed HCV GT infections in men having sex with men (MSM) at high-r...

This study aims to compare the tolerability and viro-immunologic efficacy of dolutegravir-based regimens (DTG group) with regimens based on EVG, RAL, PI, NNRTI (NODTG group) in patients with acute HIV-1 infections (AHI). All patients diagnosed with AHI between 2015 and 2017, who started ART in 5 different centers in Italy, were included and followe...

Escherichia coli ST410 (Ec-ST410) is an emerging, multidrug-resistant clone. Recent investigations of its global epidemiology and evolution have been based almost exclusively on isolates from Europe and North America. It is unclear whether Southeast Asian-origin Ec-ST410 (SEA-Ec-ST410) belong to these same clones or represent regionally disseminate...

Drug repurposing is an anticipative chemotherapeutic strategy that accentuates the inadequacy of antifungal drugs. The study identifies an antipsychotic drug, aripiprazole, as a biofilm and hyphal inhibitor of Candida albicans. Microtitre plate biofilm inhibition, metabolic activity and hyphal inhibitory assays were used to assess the potency of ar...
