Microbiology of infection-related complications after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy
CONCLUSIONS: We observed a low rate of infection-related complications and antibiotic-related adverse events in the setting of antibiotic prophylaxis with ciprofloxacin and cephalexin for 24 hours, without pre-procedure rectal culture screening. Investigation into procedural or host factors may uncover opportunities to further reduce infection-related complications.PMID:38466864 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8553 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Thoracic manifestations of tularaemia: a case series
ConclusionsPulmonary tularaemia may occur after tick bites and without extrathoracic manifestations. In patients who present with thoracic lymphadenopathy and pulmonary consolidations and who are exposed to increased outdoor activities, tularaemia should be included in the diagnostic pathway. Histologically, the presence of neutrophil –granulocyte infiltrations might help to distinguish tularaemia from other granulomatous infections, e.g. tuberculosis. The combination of quinolone–rifampicin rather than i.v. gentamicin reduced length of hospital stay in two patients. (Source: Infection)

Copper affects virulence and diverse phenotypes of uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis
CONCLUSION: The finding of copper-mediated virulence and fitness reinforced the importance of copper for prevention and therapeutic interventions against P. mirabilis infections. As such, this study could facilitate the copper-based strategies against UTI by P. mirabilis.PMID:38453541 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2024.02.007 (Source: Journal of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infection)

Antimicrobial prophylaxis protocol based on rectal swab culture before prostate biopsy to prevent infectious complications: a prospective randomized comparative study
ConclusionsIncidence of FQ resistance in the intestinal flora of our local population was prevalent. Risk factor for resistance was the use of FQ within the last 6 months. TAP adapted to rectal swab, mainly with third-generation cephalosporins, significantly reduced the rate of infectious complications after (TRUS-BP). (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

Antibiotic resistance of ESKAPE group-microorganisms in health institutions from Hermosillo and Ciudad Obreg ón, Sonora, México
IntroductionEnterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. are microorganisms referred as the ESKAPE group pathogens. These microorganisms have generated great concern in health institutions around the world since most of them have resistance to multiple antibiotics and cause most infections associated with healthcare, as well as community infections. The aim of this study was the analysis of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms of the ESKAPE group, recovered from clinical samples in 11 health institutions from Hermosillo and Ciu...

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...
