Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in Tunisia collected 336 urine samples positive for ESBL-producing bacteria over a two-month period, with the majority coming from community patients.
- Researchers identified 15 different ESBL producers assigned to 13 pulsotypes, including notable strains such as B2-ST131 subclade C2 and A-ST617, which were linked to antibiotic resistance genes CTX-M-15 and CTX-M-27.
- This research is significant as it identifies the presence of two virulent bacterial clones in the community and highlights the spread of the emergent ST131-C1-M-27 clone in urinary tract infections.
MgrB Inactivation Is Responsible for Acquired Resistance to Colistin in Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. .
Antimicrob Agents Chemother
May 2020
Multidrug-resistant strains belonging to the complex (ECC) group, and especially those belonging to clusters C-III, C-IV, and C-VIII, have increasingly emerged as a leading cause of health care-associated infections, with colistin used as one of the last lines of treatment. However, colistin-resistant ECC strains have emerged. The aim of this study was to prove that MgrB, the negative regulator of the PhoP/PhoQ two-component regulatory system, is involved in colistin resistance in ECC of cluster C-VIII, formerly referred to as subsp.

However, extensive characterization of IHI in a large sample has not yet been performed. Furthermore, it is unclear whether IHI are restricted to the medial-temporal lobe or are associated with more extensive anatomical changes.
