Prior Carriage Predicts Intensive Care Unit Infections Caused by Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2022 Jan 10:tpmd201436. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.20-1436. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntensive care unit-acquired infection (ICU-AI) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) carriage are a major concern worldwide. Our objective was to investigate the impact of ESBL-PE carriage on ICU-AI. Our study is prospective, observational, and noninterventional. It was conducted over a 5-year period (Jan 2013-Dec 2017) in the medical-surgical intensive care unit of the Cayenne General Hospital (French Amazonia). During the study period, 1,340 patients were included, 271 (20.2%) develo...

Disinfection of Phi6, MS2, and Escherichia coli by Natural Sunlight on Healthcare Critical Surfaces
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Jun 5:tpmd220464. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0464. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUltraviolet (UV) radiation systems, commonly used to disinfect surfaces, drinking water, and air, stem from historical practice to use sunlight to disinfect household items after contagious illness. Currently, it is still recommended in viral outbreak contexts such as COVID-19, Ebola, and Marburg to expose soft surfaces to sunlight after washing with detergent or disinfecting with chlorine. However, sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface is in the UVA/UVB wavelengths, whereas UV disinfection systems typically rely on bioc...

Ceftaroline Activity Tested Against Bacterial Isolates Causing Community-acquired Respiratory Tract Infections and Skin and Skin Structure Infections in Pediatric Patients From United States Hospitals: 2012–2014
Ceftaroline fosamil has recently received US Food and Drug Administration approval for treatment of acute bacterial skin/skin structure infections (SSSIs), including those caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia for pediatric patients ≥2 months old. We evaluated the potency and spectrum of ceftaroline and comparators when tested against community-acquired respiratory tract infection (CARTI) and SSSI pathogens from pediatric patients. A total of 3141 consecutive, unique pediatric patient isolates of clinical significance (1460 CARTI and 1681 SSSI isolates) were coll...

Severely Altered-Consciousness Status and Profuse Vomiting in Infants: Food Protein–Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), a Challenging Diagnosis
In infants, the causes of acute repetitive vomiting and severely altered-consciousness status include a broad differential diagnosis, that is, primarly sepsis, infectious gastroenteritis, head injury, and intoxication, as well as neurologic, metabolic, and cardiologic condition diseases. In patients developing such symptoms, allergy as an etiological cause is often not considered by primary care physicians. With this case report, we aim to draw the attention of general pediatricians, emergency physicians, and intensivists to the fact that non–immunoglobulin E–mediated food allergic gastrointestinal disorders such as fo...

Epidemiology of Meningitis in Canadian Neonatal Intensive Care Units
Conclusions: The rate of NM remains largely unchanged in Canadian NICUs. NM was associated with increased major morbidities and longer hospital stay but not with mortality before discharge.

Epidemiological risk factors for nosocomial bloodstream infections: A four-year retrospective study in China
ConclusionsGram-negative bacteria predominantly developed in nBSI. Timely removal of venous catheters (catheter retention time ≥ 7 days) and implementation of appropriate empirical therapy improved the nBSI outcomes.

Impact of Ceftazidime Use on Susceptibility Patterns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Conclusions: Ceftazidime use did not appear to affect susceptibility rates for third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins for most Gram-negative organisms in the short-term of 1.5 years. However, susceptibility rates for P. aeruginosa decreased when evaluating duplicate isolates. Long-term monitoring is needed to assess the true impact.

Antibiotic Susceptibility of Bloodstream Isolates in a Pediatric Oncology Population: The Case for Ongoing Unit-specific Surveillance
Fever in a neutropenic oncology patient requires rapid initiation of effective empiric antibiotics to prevent mortality. We evaluated the appropriateness of our current empiric antibiotic regimen by assessing local antibiotic-susceptibility patterns in our pediatric oncology patients, and comparing them to the general pediatric patterns in our hospital. All blood culture isolates from pediatric oncology patients were reviewed over a 3-year period. Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms were reviewed separately, with antibiotic susceptibilities for all unique isolates evaluated, and antibiograms generated and compared wi...

The Role of Human Coronavirus Infection in Pediatric Acute Gastroenteritis
Since human coronavirus (HCoV)–like particles were detected in the stool specimens of acute gastroenteritis and necrotizing enterocolitis children with electron microscopy, the relationship between HCoV and the pediatric gastrointestinal illness had been recognized. In recent years, the overall detection rates have been low and have varied by region. HCoVs have not been considered as the major pathogens in pediatric acute gastroenteritis. HCoVs detected in children with acute gastroenteritis have included 229E, OC43, HKU1, NL63, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavir...
