Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how social restrictions and different variants, specifically Alpha, Delta, and Omicron-BA.1, affected the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Galicia, Spain.
  • Using genomic data and mobility statistics, the research found that initial variant introductions mostly came from other Spanish regions and France, later shifting to include imports from Portugal and the U.S.
  • Despite the number of introductions, most did not contribute significantly to the pandemic's evolution in Galicia, but major coastal cities were identified as key areas for viral transmission.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how social restrictions and different variants, specifically Alpha, Delta, and Omicron, affected SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Galicia, Spain.
  • Using genomic data and mobility information, the research shows that the Alpha variant initially spread from other Spanish regions and France, while later variants saw increased influences from Portugal and the USA.
  • Key coastal cities in Galicia were identified as significant hubs for the virus's dissemination, underscoring the importance of regional connectivity for public health strategies.

Objectives: species are the most frequently isolated microorganisms in cases of spontaneous preterm labor, premature rupture of the membranes, or chorioamnionitis.

Case Presentation: A woman at 28 weeks of gestation with no apparent history of interest presented at the hospital with contractions. Upon suspicion of chorioamnionitis, the patient was admitted for a low segment transverse cesarean section, which was completed without any complications.

Since the first reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 was known in August 2020, several cases have been described around the world. We present the first reinfection of an immunocompetent patient confirmed in Galicia (Spain). The clinical-epidemiological information was obtained through an interview with the patient.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was done to see if taking antibiotics by mouth (oral sequential therapy, OST) is a good choice for treating serious infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB).
  • 125 out of 201 patients used oral antibiotics, and the rate of getting the infection again after 90 days was low for both groups (OST and intravenous therapy).
  • The results showed that patients on OST had shorter hospital stays and needed less time on intravenous antibiotics than those on traditional intravenous therapy (CIT).

Introduction: Livestock are known reservoirs of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and this constitutes an important public health issue. The prevalence of nasal MRSA carriers in swine housed indoors in Galicia, Spain, was studied.

Methods: 197 samples from swine aged three, eight, 12, 16 and 24 weeks, and from adult pigs, were obtained from four farms.

Introduction: Fluoroquinolone resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has increased in recent years. The objective of this study was to characterise two MRSA populations, one susceptible to fluoroquinolones and other resistant identifying the clonal types and the differential characteristics of both MRSA populations.

Methods: Molecular typing using PFGE, MLST, spa and SSCmec was performed on 192 MRSA strains isolated from 2009 to 2011, 49 only oxacillin-resistant (OX-R) and 143 oxacillin and levofloxacin-resistant (OX-R-LEV-R).
