Biofilm inhibition/eradication: exploring strategies and confronting challenges in combatting biofilm
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 14;206(5):212. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03938-0.ABSTRACTBiofilms are complex communities of microorganisms enclosed in a self-produced extracellular matrix, posing a significant threat to different sectors, including healthcare and industry. This review provides an overview of the challenges faced due to biofilm formation and different novel strategies that can combat biofilm formation. Bacteria inside the biofilm exhibit increased resistance against different antimicrobial agents, including conventional antibiotics, which can lead to severe problems in livestock and animals, including humans. In ad...

Antibiotic prescribing patterns in the placement of dental implants in Europe: A systematic review of survey-based studies
CONCLUSIONS: The most commonly prescribed antibiotic both pre- and postoperatively is amoxicillin and, in allergic patients, clindamycin. In Europe, more doses of PAT are being prescribed than suggested by current recommendations. For this reason, more PAT education is needed in educational curricula to promote a more rational use of antibiotics to reduce the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance.PMID:38615255 | DOI:10.4317/medoral.26450 (Source: Medicina Oral, Patologia Oral y Cirugia Bucal)

Development and validation of machine learning-based models for predicting healthcare-associated bacterial/fungal infections among COVID-19 inpatients: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsOur machine learning models achieved strong predictive ability and may be effective clinical decision-support tools for identifying COVID-19 patients at risk for bacterial/fungal coinfection and guiding antibiotic administration. The levels of cytokines, such as IL-6, may affect the status of bacterial/fungal coinfection. (Source: Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control)

Unveiling novel threats: Urban river isolation of Aeromonas veronii with unusual VEB-28 extended-spectrum β-lactamase and distinct mcr variants
In conclusion, our findings suggest that A. veronii may serve as an environmental reservoir for ARGs and virulence factors, highlighting its importance as a potential pathogen in public health.PMID:38614394 | DOI:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141918 (Source: Chemosphere)
