Serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pediatric Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from inpatients and outpatients at Beijing Children's Hospital
CONCLUSIONS: Pneumococcal vaccine-related serotypes are prevalent among both inpatients and outpatients, especially among inpatients, who exhibit more severe antibiotic resistance. Therefore, universal immunization with PCV13 would decrease the hospitalization rate due to S. pneumoniae and the antibiotic resistance rate of S. pneumoniae.PMID:38471654 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjid.2024.103734 (Source: Braz J Infect Dis)

KPC-2 and VIM-1 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST39 high-risk clone isolated from a  clinical sample in Volos, Greece
In this study, we analyzed A165 strain K. pneumoniae ST39 isolated from a blood culture in November 2020. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using Ion Torrent Platform, and resistance genes, virulence determinants, capsular types, insertion sequences, phage regions, and clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR) regions were detected by bioinformatic analysis. The molecular characterization revealed antimicrobial resistance genes, including sul2 for sulfamethoxazole; dfrA1 for trimethoprim; blaVIM-1 and blaKPC-2 for carbapenems; aac(6')-II for aminoglycosides; fosA for fosfomycin and aad1 for str...

Antimicrobial resistance and genomic investigation of Salmonella isolated from retail foods in Guizhou, China
IntroductionSalmonella is a major foodborne pathogen worldwide that causes severe morbidity and mortality. It is mainly caused by consuming contaminated food, with retail food considered the primary source.MethodsIn Guizhou, China, 102 Salmonella strains isolated from 2016 to 2021 underwent phenotypic antimicrobial resistance testing and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to understand Salmonella diversity, including serotypes, sequencing types (STs), antimicrobial genes, virulence genes, plasmid types, multi-locus sequence types (MLST), and core genome MLST (cgMLST).Results and discussionS.Typhimurium was the dominant serotype...

Unusual Finding in a Boy with Recurrent Epididymo-Orchitis and Normal External Genitalia
A 1-year-old boy with Down syndrome presented to the emergency department due to his third episode of epididymo-orchitis (EO). He was previously treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. His parents reported irritability, fever, and inflammation of the right testis. Scrotal examination revealed an enlarged, tender right testicle without overlying skin changes, hypospadias, or cryptorchidism. Testicular ultrasound showed signs suggestive of right EO, and urine culture was positive for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. (Source: Urology)

Antimicrobial resistance and public and animal health risks associated with pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from calves
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2024 Feb 19;107:102149. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2024.102149. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe aimed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from fecal samples of calves and buffalo calves (2008-2013), in Minas Gerais, Brazil, as well as the frequency of O157 gene and strains carrying extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes. E. coli strains (n=518) were tested for susceptibility against ten antimicrobials. Tetracycline was the antimicrobial with the highest resistance rate (382/518), foll...
