Diagnosis, prevention and control of urinary tract infections: a survey of routine practices in Belgian nursing homes
urine cultures were routinely performed in 30.2% and 44.6% of the facilities, respectively. In non-catheterised residents, voided or midstream urine sampling was most frequently applied. ...
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 ...
Genomic epidemiology of emerging ESBL-producing Kentucky in Europe.
Routine surveillance at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) detected cases with a ciprofloxacin-resistant. Kentucky with the ESBL-gene. Ensuing research identified 78 cases in ...
Unexpected mould diversity in clinical isolates from French Guiana and associated identification difficulties.
fungal diversity, such as French Guiana, routine mold identification tools are inadequate. Molecular identifications, as well as morphological descriptions, are necessary for the construction of ...
A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine.
chain reactions (qPCRs) are used in routine. In recent years, the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial isolates has proven its value to collect relevant information for strain ...
