[Sore throat with septic complications].

A young man presented with exertional dyspnea and thoracic pain following pharyngitis. The findings included pulmonary melting, left-sided pleural empyema and spondylitis. Cultures for detection of the pathogen were negative and sequencing for bacterial DNA was additionally carried out resulting in detection of Fusobacterium necrophorum that is typical for oropharyngeal infections.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations in the cystic fibrosis lung lose susceptibility to newly applied β-lactams within 3 days.

Background: Chronic pulmonary infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa require frequent intravenous antibiotic treatment in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Emergence of antimicrobial resistance is common in these patients, which to date has been investigated at long-term intervals only.

Objectives: To investigate under close to real-time conditions the dynamics of the response by P.

Antibiotic-Resistant E. coli in Uncomplicated Community-Acquired Urinary Tract Infection.

Background: Routine urine culture testing is not recommended for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). As a result, the antibiotic resistance patterns or the organisms causing UTIs are not adequately reflected in routine data. We studied the sensitivity of Escherichia coli (E.

Association between clinical antibiotic resistance and susceptibility of Pseudomonas in the cystic fibrosis lung.

Background And Objectives: Cystic fibrosis patients suffer from chronic lung infections that require long-term antibiotic therapy. Pseudomonas readily evolve resistance, rendering antibiotics ineffective. In vitro experiments suggest that resistant bacteria may be treated by exploiting their collateral sensitivity to other antibiotics.
