There is a paucity of evidence linking pneumococcal infection and influenza with SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. There is circumstantial evidence of the possibility of an association between S. pneumoniae and SARS-CoV-2 such as the increased binding of S. pneumoniae to coronavirus-infected human airway epithelium, the frequent use of broad-spectrum antibi...

Pseudomonas putida is a rare pathogen leading to nosocomial and central nervous system infections. Despite having a low virulence and being a rare organism to cause bacteremia, it can evolve into a multidrug-resistant organism and lead to mortality and morbidity in the intensive care setting. A 64-year-old male gardener was presented with extensive...

In multimorbid, unvaccinated and non-hospitalized patients, early administration of remdesivir, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and molnupiravir was effective in reducing the risk of hospitalization or death from any cause. Similar data are lacking with regard to patients already hospitalized and who acquire in-hospital SARS-CoV-2 infection. We conducted a ...

Adopting the family-centered care (FCC) approach in the neonatal care has been shown to improve breastfeeding rate and parental satisfaction. To minimize the transmission of COVID-19, family visit in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was suspended in China. In order to maintain the benefits of FCC, the Hong Kong University-Shenzhen Hospital NICU ...

It was previously demonstrated that seasonal influenza incidence was significantly decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, possibly due to respiratory and hygiene precautions. From this point, we hypothesized that the COVID-19 precautions could lead to a decrease in nosocomial infection rates in oncology inpatient wards. We evaluated the nosocomial...

Since its first report, the class A Brazilian Klebsiella carbapenemase (BKC) has been detected only among Enterobacterales isolates from Brazilian hospitals. In this study, we characterized a multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas juntendi clinical isolate and identified a 43.3-kb plasmid carrying blaBKC-1 and a class 1 integron (In1996) containing the ar...

Burkholderia cepacia complex is a group of potential nosocomial pathogens often linked to contaminated water. We report on a cluster of 8 B. cepacia complex infections in cardiothoracic intensive care unit patients, which were attributed to contaminated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) water heaters. In December 2020, we identified an inc...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common acquired infection in the intensive care unit. Recent studies showed that the critical COVID-19 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation have a high risk of developing VAP, which result in a worse outcome and an increasing economic burden. With the development of critical care medicine, ...

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are a significant risk factor for poor patient outcomes. It is important to correctly diagnose and treat these infections to ensure the best chance of recovery. Kocuria rosea is a novel bacteria that is native to the human flora and has been on the rise as a culprit in recent nosocomial infect...

Airborne severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detected in a coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) ward before activation of HEPA-air filtration but not during filter operation; SARS-CoV-2 was again detected following filter deactivation. Airborne SARS-CoV-2 was infrequently detected in a COVID-19 intensive care unit. Bioaero...
