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 ...

RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

format. In short, 200 µl of a positively flagged MGIT culture is spiked with a specific concentration of a drug, while a control sample is incubated in absence of the drug. Multiplex mRNA quantification is ...

Point Prevalence Study of Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Use in Belgian Acute-Care Hospitals: Results of the ECDC PPS 2017

All Belgian acute care hospitals were invited to participate in the ECDC PPS 2017. In addition, a representative random sample of hospitals was selected which received an individualized invitation to ...

Surveillance of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in Belgian hospitals: Report 2016

(with de-duplication) were included in the analyses, i.e. per period of hospitalisation and bacterium each patient should only be counted once. Clinical samples and screening samples originating from ...
