In the frame of the I-MOVE-COVID-19 project, a cohort of 2050 patients admitted in two Spanish reference hospitals between March 2020 and December 2021 was selected and a range of clinical factor data were collected at admission to assess their impact on the risk COVID-19 severity outcomes through a multivariate adjusted analysis and nomograms. The need for ventilation and intensive care unit (ICU) admission were found to be directly associated with a higher death risk (OR 6.9 and 3.

- Infections caused by pathogens like gonorrhea can present similar clinical symptoms, leading to common treatments that may increase antibiotic resistance.
- Certest Biotec created two diagnostic kits for the simultaneous detection of gonorrhea and fluoroquinolone resistance, showing promising performance in a clinical study.
- The study analyzed 540 clinical samples, revealing high sensitivity and specificity of the kits compared to traditional diagnostic methods, enhancing diagnosis and treatment while addressing rising antibiotic resistance.
Article Synopsis
- Staphylococcus aureus, particularly methicillin-resistant variants (MRSA), poses a significant risk to cystic fibrosis patients, with a study in Spain focusing on isolates from a high pig-farming area.
- Among 42 isolates from cystic fibrosis patients, 21.4% were identified as MRSA, with many showing multidrug resistance and belonging to various clonal complexes, including the livestock-associated CC398 strain.
- The study highlights a concerning prevalence of the LA-MRSA-CC398 lineage in cystic fibrosis patients, signaling a need for increased monitoring in regions with intensive pig farming.
