Unresolved issues in the diagnosis of catheter related candidemia: A position paper
Rev Esp Quimioter. 2023 Nov 13:soriano13nov2023. doi: 10.37201/req/112.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe incidence and recent trends of candidemia and the contribution of the COVID-19 pandemic to its evolution are not well documented. The catheter is a major focus of Candida spp. infections, but the methods used to confirm the origin of candidemia are still based on the data generated for bacterial infection. The presence of Candida spp. on the tip of a removed catheter is the gold standard for confirmation but it is not always possible to remove it. Conservative methods, without catheter removal, have not been speci...

Rapid AST: Possibility of inferring resistance mechanisms with complex phenotypes
Rev Esp Quimioter. 2023 Nov 8:ligero08nov2023. doi: 10.37201/req/043.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe new automated systems designed for rapid performance of AST have significantly reduced the response time for susceptibility testing of microorganisms causing bacteremia and sepsis. The Accelerate Pheno® system (AAC) is one such system. Our objective for this study was to determine whether the AAC system is capable of providing an accurate susceptibility profile to infer resistance mechanisms in different carbapenemase-producing isolates when compared to the MicroScan WalkAway System (MWS). Disk diffusion method was...
