Infection
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) are a threat to public health, since they dramatically limit the use of β-lactams. We report the isolation of a multidrug-resistant Hafnia paralvei strain from urine and a rectal swab of a female patient after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myelodysplastic syndrome. Antimicrobial susceptibility tes...

Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation : C/E
Introduction Ceftazidime avibactam (CA) is an effective treatment against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), but its cost-effectiveness is unclear. This study was performed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of CA against the best available treatment colistin (Col) for patients with CRE-related infections in Iran. Methodology A model of...

Background Colistin (CST) is a last-line drug for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. CST-heteroresistant Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) has been isolated. However, integrated analysis of epidemiology and resistance mechanisms based on the complete ECC species identification has not been performed. Methods Clinical isolates ...

Background Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) represents an escalating healthcare hazard with high mortality worldwide, especially in presence of biofilm. The current study aimed to evaluate the anti-biofilm potentials of ceftazidime, colistin, gentamicin, and meropenem alone and in combinations against biofilm-forming CRPA. Methods...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) is an important and challenging complication, including in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Considering the poor lung penetration of most antibiotics, including intravenous col...

Bacterial resistance surveillance is one of the main outputs of microbiological laboratories and its results are important part of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). In this study, the susceptibility of specific bacteria to selected antimicrobial agents was tested. The susceptibility of 90 unique isolates of pathogens of critical priority obtained fr...

Background We investigated the presence of heteroresistance against both tigecycline and colistin in Acinetobacter baumannii and then evaluated the effectiveness of combined antibiotic treatment given the existence of discrete tigecycline- and colistin-resistant subpopulations. Methods We performed population analysis profiling (PAP) to evaluate th...

Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria of the order Enterobacterales are emerging threats to global public and animal health, leading to morbidity and mortality. The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant, livestock-associated pathogens is a great public health concern. The genera Enterobacter and Lelliottia are ubiquitous, facultatively anaerobic, motile,...

Background Erythrocyte transfusion is an indispensable component of supportive care after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, HSCT recipients are susceptible to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) with multifactorial causes. We report a case of a rapid elevation in serum creatinine associated with deferoxamine after co...
