The aim of this study is to compare different methods due to the difficulties in identifying coryneform bacteria to species level and to determine antibiotic resistance profiles. Isolates identified as Turicella otitidis (n:45) by VITEK 2 Compact and Corynebacterium mucifaciens (n:1) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mas...

With the increasing emergence of drug resistance in enterococci, there have been very limited data on the efficacy of orally available nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin on enterococci causing urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly for multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. This study aimed to determine the in vitro effectiveness of these two drugs a...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the susceptibility of Bacteroides and Parabacteroides spp. strains, isolated from patients hospitalized in the clinical hospital in Poland to penicillin, amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, imipenem, clindamycin, and metronidazole. Methods: We analyzed susceptibility of 476 isolates to routinely use for t...

The aim of this work was to determine the susceptibility, molecular profile, and clonal relationship in Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus [GBS]) isolated from vaginal-rectal swab samples. We worked with 200 isolates collected from pregnant women between 35 and 37 weeks of gestation. The macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) res...

Whole-genome sequencing analyses have provided important data and information on the repertoire of resistance genes in several bacterial species. This study examined to what extent the antimicrobial resistance genes found in a set of whole-genome-sequenced Salmonella Enteritidis strains from Brazil correlated with the phenotypic antimicrobial resis...

Beyond the emergence of plasmid-encoded mechanisms, mutation within the pmrAB genes remains one of the primary colistin resistance mechanisms in Escherichia coli. However, the mechanisms of high-level colistin resistance (HLCR) have not been elucidated. In this study, we evaluated the HLCR mechanisms in five colistin-susceptible Avian pathogenic Es...

Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) represents an urgent threat worldwide. We aimed to investigate the frequency of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in Iran. Materials and Methods: PubMed/Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Iranian databases were searched to find potentially relevant ...

Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa occupies a central position in nosocomial infections and remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to characterize carbapenem resistance mechanisms in P. aeruginosa isolates from clinical specimens collected at the University Hospital of Oran, western Algeria. Materials and ...

Purpose: Antibiotics are not the recommended treatment for uncomplicated influenza or nontyphoidal salmonella infections, whereas they are for current pertussis infection. We investigated adherence to these recommendations in a population of older community-dwelling adults. Methods: Population-based prospective cohort study of Australian adults 45 ...

Objective: Optimal dosing regimens for achieving a positive clinical outcome were simulated for seven antibiotics commonly used to treat bloodstream infections (BSIs) in adults. Methods and Results: Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling was used to simulate 17 regimens, including meropenem, imipenem, cefepime, ceftazidime, piperacillin-t...
