Characteristics of the antibiotic regimen that affect antimicrobial resistance in urinary pathogens
of antimicrobial (antibiotic) are modifiable factors that will influence antimicrobial selection pressure. Currently, the impact of the route of administration on the occurrence of resistance in humans ...
Increasing candidemia incidence from 2004 to 2015 with a shift in epidemiology in patients pre-exposed to antifungals.
Belgium were analysed. The trend in incidence in the intensive care units (ICU s) and non- ICU s was investigated as well as the influence of antifungal exposure on the species distribution. PATIENTS ...

Influence of apixaban on commonly used coagulation assays: results from the Belgian national External Quality Assessment Scheme.
laboratories performing coagulation testing. RESULTS: PT and aPTT were barely influenced at the concentrations tested. At 225 ng/mL apixaban, PT and aPTT clotting times were only 1.15 times longer than at ...
Inflammatory Properties and Adjuvant Potential of Synthetic Glycolipids Homologous to Mycolate Esters of the Cell Wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
have shown that the structure of MA s influences the inflammatory potential of these glycolipids. As mutant Mtb strains possess a complex mixture of glycolipids, we analysed the inflammatory potential of ...

Global transcriptional analyses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using old and new drugs
wide transcriptional analyses of drug influences on M. tuberculosis remain rather limited. Here we present a global study of the response of two pansensitive M. tuberculosis strains to eight TB-drugs. By ...
