Diagnostic efficiency of the FilmArray blood culture identification (BCID) panel: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions. The BCID panel has high rule-in value for the early detection of BSI patients. The BCID panel can still provide valuable information for ruling out bacteremia or fungemia in populations with low pretest probability.PMID:37712641 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001608 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Antibacterial activity of menadione alone and in combination with oxacillin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and its impact on biofilms
Conclusion. Menadione exhibited antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against MRSA strains, suggesting its potential as an adjunct in the treatment of S. aureus infections. The main mechanism of action involves the production of ROS, which subsequently leads to DNA damage. Additionally, the activity of menadione can be complemented by its interaction with important virulence targets.PMID:37707372 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001751 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Molecular strategy for the direct detection and identification of the most common fungal community in cerumen specimens by multiplex PCR
Conclusion. In our study, multiplex PCR assays enabled simultaneous detection of two common genera of the causative agent of otomycosis in a cerumen specimen. Regarding the high sensitivity of the first step of the multiplex PCR assay, this assay may be used for the direct detection of Candida and Aspergillus genera in other clinical specimens.PMID:37624031 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001746 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Utility of in-house and commercial PCR assay in diagnosis of Covid-19 associated mucormycoss in an emergency setting in a tertiary care center
Conclusion. Because the in-house PCR is not only sensitive and specific, but also entirely based on SYBR Green for detection of targets, it is less expensive than probe-based assays and can be used on a regular basis for the diagnosis of IM in resource-constrained settings. It can be used to distinguish between mucormycosis and fungal sinusitis caused by Aspergillus and Fusarium in high-risk patients, as well as to accurately detect Mucorales in fungal co-infection cases.PMID:37624041 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001745 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Molecular characterization and genotyping of isolates from cancer patients with Clostridioides difficile infection or asymptomatic colonization
Conclusions. We found a clonal association between C. difficile isolates from patients with CDAC and CDI. Studies are needed to evaluate the potential role of asymptomatic carriers in the dynamics of nosocomial transmission to support infection control measures and reduce the burden of CDI in high-risk groups.PMID:37624363 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001748 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)
