A 2-year national genomic screening in the Czech Republic identified a notable prevalence of the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 5 (NDM-5)-producing Escherichia coli sequence type 38 (ST38) in the city of Brno. Forty-two ...
Objective: Here we describe a novel IncFIA plasmid harboring mcr-10 gene in a clinical Enterobacter ludwigii strain isolated at the University Hospital in Pilsen in the Czech Republic.Methods: The strain was subjected to ...
Introduction: In the battle against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, ceftazidime- avibactam (CZA) stands as a pivotal defense, particularly against carbapenemresistant (CR) Gram-negative pathogens. However, the ...
Advances in single-cell level analytical techniques, especially cytometric approaches, have led to profound innovation in biomedical research, particularly in the field of clinical immunology. This has resulted in an ...
Fosfomycin (FOS) is an effective antibiotic against multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales, but its effectiveness is reducing. Little is known on the current prevalence of FosA enzymes in low-risk pathogens, such as Citrobacter ...
Carbapenemases are versatile β-lactamases capable of hydrolyzing carbapenem antibiotics. They are classified into Ambler classes A, B, and D. Class A carbapenemases, such as Klebsiella pneumoniaecarbapenemase (KPC) ...
Background Bovine mastitis is one of the main causes of reduced production in dairy cows. The infection of the mammary gland is mainly caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, whose resistant strains make the treatment ...
BACKGROUND: FosA10-producing Enterobacterales have an extremely low incidence in Europe. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In March 2024, an 83-year-old woman, hospitalized in the Modena Province, developed an infection with ...
The aim of this study was to examine the genetic characteristics that could be associated with the virulence characteristics of Escherichia coli collected from clinical samples. A collection of 100 non-repetitive E. coli ...
Globally, Escherichia coli is a leading cause of multiple drug-resistant (MDR) extraintestinal infections. ST131 is an MDR, pandemic sequence type that causes urinary tract and bloodstream infections in humans and companion ...
