AIM: To describe risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) caused by aerobic Gram-negative organisms after hip and knee arthroplasty. METHOD: Publicly funded hip and knee arthroplasties (performed between 1 July 2013 and 31 December 2017) that developed SSIs were compared to those that did not. SSIs were grouped by causative organism: Gram-negative (Pseudomonas spp. or enteric Gram-negative bacilli) or staphylococcal (pure or mixed growth of Staphylococcus spp...

BACKGROUND: Because of the heterogeneity in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease among young children, a clinical method to identify early-onset lung disease is needed. OBJECTIVE: To develop a CF early-onset lung disease (CFELD) scoring system by utilizing prospectively collected longitudinal data on manifestations in the first 3 years of life. DESIGN: We studied 145 infants born during 2012-2017, diagnosed through newborn screening by age 3 months, and followed to 36 months of age...

PURPOSE: Our review explains the role of surfactant protein D (SP-D) in different kinds of bacterial infection based on its presence in different ocular surface tissues. We discuss the potential role of SP-D against invasion by pathogens, with the aim of identifying new prospects for the possible mechanism of SP-D-mediated immune processes, and the diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment of ocular bacterial infection. METHODS: We reviewed articles about the role of SP-D in various ocular bacterial infections or infection-related ocular diseases through PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Web of Science databases...

Nationwide studies on hospital-onset bloodstream infections (HO-BSIs) are scarce. To describe incidence, mortality and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of HO-BSI caused by eight sentinel bacteria in Israel, we used laboratory-based BSI surveillance data from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019. All hospitals reported positive blood cultures growing Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Acinetobacter baumannii , Streptococcus pneumoniae , Staphylococcus aureus , Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium ...

INTRODUCTION: During the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, increased incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms, as well as polymicrobial wounds and infections, complicated the management of combat trauma-related infections. Multidrug resistance and wound microbiology are a research focus of the Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study (TIDOS), an Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program, Uniformed Services University, research protocol. To conduct comprehensive microbiological research with the goal of improving the understanding of the complicated etiology of wound infections, the TIDOS MDR and Virulent Organisms Trauma Infections Initiative (MDR/VO Initiative) was established as a collaborative effort with the Brooke Army Medical Center, Naval Medical Research Center, U...

Intensive care unit-acquired infection (ICU-AI) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) carriage are a major concern worldwide. Our objective was to investigate the impact of ESBL-PE carriage on ICU-AI. Our study was prospective, observational, and noninterventional. It was conducted over a 5-year period (Jan 2013-Dec 2017) in the medical-surgical intensive care unit of the Cayenne General Hospital (French Amazonia). During the study period, 1,340 patients were included, 271 (20...

AIMS: Deep surgical site infection (SSI) remains an unsolved problem after hip fracture. Debridement, antibiotic, and implant retention (DAIR) has become a mainstream treatment in elective periprosthetic joint infection; however, evidence for DAIR after infected hip hemiarthroplaty is limited. METHODS: Patients who underwent a hemiarthroplasty between March 2007 and August 2018 were reviewed. Multivariable binary logistic regression was performed to identify and adjust for risk factors for SSI, and to identify factors predicting a successful DAIR at one year...

Background: Antimicrobial resistance among pathogens of public health importance is an emerging problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, published information on the burden and patterns of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in this region is sparse. There is evidence that the burden and patterns of AMR vary by geography and facility. Knowledge of local epidemiology of AMR is thus important for guiding clinical decisions and mitigation strategies. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the burden and predictors of AMR and multidrug resistance (MDR) among bacterial pathogens isolated from specimens submitted to the diagnostic laboratory of a hospital in Nairobi, Kenya...

Background: Bloodstream infection (BSI) is one of the most common serious bacterial infections worldwide and also a major contributor to in-hospital mortality. Determining the predictors of mortality is crucial for prevention and improving clinical prognosis in patients with nosocomial BSI. Methods: A nationwide prospective cohort study was conducted from 2007 until 2016 in 16 teaching hospitals across China. Microbiological results, clinical information, and patient outcomes were collected to investigate the pathogenic spectrum and mortality rate in patients with BSI and identify outcome predictors using multivariate regression, prediction model, and Kaplan-Meier analysis...

Bee bread is the only fermented product of the beehive. It constitutes the main source of proteins, lipids, vitamins, and macro- and microelements in honeybee nutrition and it exerts antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, though research on these aspects has been limited so far. In this study 18 samples of Greek bee bread, two of which were monofloral, were collected during different seasons from diverse locations such as Crete and Mount Athos and were tested for their bioactivity. Samples were analyzed for their antibacterial properties, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC)...

The primary objective of this multicenter, observational, retrospective study was to assess the incidence rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in intensive care units (ICU). The secondary objective was to assess predictors of 30-day case-fatality of VAP. From 15 February to 15 May 2020, 586 COVID-19 patients were admitted to the participating ICU. Of them, 171 developed VAP (29%) and were included in the study. The incidence rate of VAP was of 18 events per 1000 ventilator days (95% confidence intervals [CI] 16-21)...
