Airway Mycobiota-Microbiota During Pulmonary Exacerbation of Cystic Fibrosis Patients: A Culture and Targeted Sequencing Study.

Background: The airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) harbour complex fungal and bacterial microbiota involved in pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) and requiring antimicrobial treatment. Descriptive studies analysing bacterial and fungal microbiota concomitantly are scarce, especially using both culture and high-throughput-sequencing (HTS).

Objectives: We analysed bacterial-fungal microbiota and inter-kingdom correlations in two French CF centres according to clinical parameters and antimicrobial choices.

As the Worm Turns-A Rare Cause of Intestinal Obstruction.

Background: Anisakiasis, a zoonotic disease caused by the nematode Anisakis, poses a significant concern for public health, particularly in regions with high consumption of raw or undercooked fish.

Case Presentation: We present a case report of a 41-year-old woman who developed severe abdominal symptoms, ultimately diagnosed with intestinal obstruction due to Anisakis infestation, requiring surgery. Despite the absence of prominent eosinophilia or specific radiological findings, the diagnosis was confirmed through histological examination, highlighting the importance of considering anisakiasis in patients with a history of raw seafood consumption.

Salvage strategy for long-term central venous catheter-associated Staphylococcus aureus infections in children: a multi-centre retrospective study in France.

Objectives: Catheter removal is recommended in adults with Staphylococcus aureus central-line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) but is controversial in children with long-term central venous catheters (LTCVC). We evaluated the occurrence of catheter salvage strategy (CSS) in children with S. aureus LTCVC-associated CLABSI and assessed determinants of CSS failure.
