Fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates after exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics: a retrospective case–control study
tertiary care patients in Belgium with information on prior antibiotic use at the patient level up to 1 year previously. Results In urine samples from 6125 patients, 7204 E. coli isolates were retrieved ...
Deep amplicon sequencing for culture-free prediction of susceptibility or resistance to 13 anti-tuberculous drugs.
involved pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and ethionamide, and low-level rifampicin- or isoniazid-resistance mutations, all notoriously prone to phenotypic testing variability. Only 2 of 91 (2.2%) resistance ...
Molecular surveillance of anti-malarial drug resistance in Democratic Republic of Congo: high variability of chloroquinoresistance and lack of amodiaquinoresistance.
remains high in the country. Further studies are needed for continuous monitoring of the CQ resistance level for its prospective re-use in malaria management. The absence of the AQ resistance marker is in ...
Prevalence of healthcare-associated infections, estimated incidence and composite antimicrobial resistance index in acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities: results from two European point prevalence surveys, 2016 to 2017
study confirmed a high annual number of HAI in healthcare facilities in the EU / EEA and indicated that AMR in HAI in LTCF may have reached the same level as in ACH. Health Topics: Résistance aux ...
Attributable deaths and disability-adjusted life-years caused by infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the EU and the European Economic Area in 2015: a population-level modelling analysis

RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
performed directly on crude cell lysate using a combination of the bead-based MagPixTM (Luminex) and QuantigeneTM Plex (Thermo Fischer) technology. Normalized, relative genes expression levels (control vs ...
Genetic Basis and Clonal Population Structure of Antibiotic Resistance in Isolated From Broiler Carcasses in Belgium.
between and. Interestingly, and contrary to previous reports, the A2075G transition mutation in the 23S rRNA gene was only found in one strain displaying a high level of resistance to erythromycin. ...
Public health risk of antimicrobial resistance transfer from companion animals.
for medicinal products for companion animals. This would allow the approval of new veterinary medicinal antimicrobials for which risk levels are estimated as acceptable for public health. Health ...
Presence of antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use in sows are risk factors for antimicrobial resistance in their offspring.
(15.2%). Antimicrobial resistance in piglets was influenced by antimicrobial use in sows and piglets and by the sow resistance level (p≤0.05). Using aminopenicillins and third-generation cephalosporins in ...
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) pilot point prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use.
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control was piloted across Europe. Variables were collected at national, hospital and patient level in 66 hospitals from 23 countries. A patient-based and ...
