Nocardiosis: a single-center experience and literature review.

Introduction: Nocardiosis is a rare bacterial infection caused by Nocardia spp. However, an increasing incidence has been described whereby data about epidemiology and prognosis are essential.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted among patients with positive Nocardia spp.

in MALT-type non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Unlabelled: is a bacterium that belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family. The most frequently reported infections are gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary. Urinary tract infections are very rarely reported and bloodstream infections are usually reported without an identified source.

Multiplicity of Carbapenemase-Producers Three Years after a KPC-3-Producing ST147-K64 Hospital Outbreak.

Carbapenem resistance rates increased exponentially between 2014 and 2017 in Portugal (~80%), especially in . We characterized the population of carbapanemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) infecting or colonizing hospitalized patients (2017-2018) in a central hospital from northern Portugal, where KPC-3-producing capsular type K64 has caused an initial outbreak. We gathered phenotypic (susceptibility data), molecular (population structure, carbapenemase, capsular type) and biochemical (FT-IR) data, together with patients' clinical and epidemiological information.
