MRSA surveillance programmes worldwide: moving towards a harmonised international approach
surveillance, we suggest improving the integration of microbiological and epidemiological data, implementation of central biobanks for MRSA isolate collection, and inclusion of a representative sample of skin and ...
Fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates after exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics: a retrospective case–control study
data collected retrospectively in a case–control study linking microbiological test results (isolated bacteria and their susceptibility) of urine samples routinely collected from primary, secondary and ...
Deep amplicon sequencing for culture-free prediction of susceptibility or resistance to 13 anti-tuberculous drugs.
J (2020) Abstract: Conventional molecular tests for detecting complex (MTBC) drug resistance on clinical samples cover a limited set of mutations. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) typically requires culture. ...
Molecular surveillance of anti-malarial drug resistance in Democratic Republic of Congo: high variability of chloroquinoresistance and lack of amodiaquinoresistance.
the presence of the SVMNT haplotype. METHODS: In 2017, ten geographical sites across the DRC were selected. Dried blood samples were collected from patients attending health centres. Malaria was first ...
Time trend of prevalence and susceptibility to nitrofurantoin of urinary MDR Escherichia coli from outpatients
collected a convenience sample of voluntary participating laboratories (15 and 8 in 2005 and 2011-12, respectively), we analysed antimicrobial susceptibilities (ampicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanate, cefalotin, ...
Genome Sequences of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus spa Type t899 Strains Belonging to Three Different Sequence Types (ST398, ST9, and ST4034).
report, we present the draft genome sequences of nine LA- MRSA strains. These strains were isolated from meat and a human nasal swab sample and belong to one unique type (t899), but to three different ...
Characteristics of the antibiotic regimen that affect antimicrobial resistance in urinary pathogens
of the sample, especially in women (significant interaction p = 0.0016) and up to nine preceding prescriptions it was lower for higher proportions of preceding parenteral prescriptions (significant ...
Validation of a Sampling Method to Collect Exposure Data for Central-Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections.
Factors Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Surveillance of central-line-associated bloodstream infections requires the labor-intensive counting of central-line days (CLD s). This workload could be reduced by sampling ...
Falciparum malaria molecular drug resistance in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a systematic review.
Scholar using the terms “malaria”, “Congo”, “resistance”, “molecular”, “antimalarial”, “efficacy”. Articles were classified based on year of collecting, year of publication, sample size and characteristics, ...
Variations in catheter-related bloodstream infections rates based on local practices.
surveillance serves as a quality improvement measure that is often used to assess performance. We reviewed the total number of microbiological samples collected in three Belgian intensive care units (ICU) in ...
