Purpose: The aim was to analyse the clinical and economic impact of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) infections.
Methods: Case-control study. Adult patients with CPE infections were considered cases, while those with non-CPE infections were controls.
The objective was to compare clinical characteristics, outcomes, and economic differences in complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) caused by extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (XDR P. aeruginosa) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-K. pneumoniae).

- A study compared clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 and seasonal influenza who needed supplemental oxygen, focusing on factors like age, comorbidities, and mortality rates.
- COVID-19 patients were generally younger but had more severe symptoms, including higher pneumonia rates and worse progression, leading to a significantly higher 30-day mortality rate of 15% compared to 5% for influenza patients.
- Additionally, COVID-19 patients experienced longer hospital stays and higher costs related to critical care and treatments compared to those with seasonal influenza.
This study aimed to assess the impact of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) phenotype on mortality in bacteremia. A retrospective cohort study was performed in a tertiary hospital from January 2000 to December 2018. All consecutive prospectively recorded bacteremia in adult patients were assessed.
