Diagnosis, prevention and control of urinary tract infections: a survey of routine practices in Belgian nursing homes
are crucial as overuse of antibiotics can lead to a variety of negative consequences including the development of multidrug-resistant organisms. Objective: To determine infection prevention and control ...
Fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates after exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics: a retrospective case–control study
Abstract: Objectives To investigate whether prior exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics increases the risk of fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli. Methods This was a secondary analysis of ...
Genomic epidemiology of emerging ESBL-producing Kentucky in Europe.
Global dissemination of ciprofloxacin-resistant Kentucky has been observed over the past decades. In recent years, there have been reports of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing. Kentucky. ...
Spatial and molecular mapping of Pfkelch13 gene polymorphism in Africa in the era of emerging Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin: a systematic review.
isolates carrying mutations in the kelch13 (Pfkelch13) gene associated with artemisinin resistance (PfART-R) in southeast Asia threatens malaria control and elimination efforts. Emergence of PfART-R in ...
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. ...
Development of an NGS-Based Workflow for Improved Monitoring of Circulating Plasmids in Support of Risk Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Dissemination.
Antibiotics (Basel), Volume 9, Issue 8 (2020) Keywords: Antimicrobial resistance MinION Plasmid sequencing Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most prominent public health threats. AMR genes ...
The Benefits of Whole Genome Sequencing for Foodborne Outbreak Investigation from the Perspective of a National Reference Laboratory in a Smaller Country.
