Article Synopsis
- A study in Romania revealed a growing prevalence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM)-producing Enterobacterales in hospitals, with 355 cases reported from 2018 to 2022.
- Analysis of 74 isolates over nearly two years identified four persistent multi-hospital clusters of these drug-resistant bacteria, demonstrating sustained transmission across multiple regions.
- The findings highlight the urgent need for enhanced infection control measures and improved national surveillance for carbapenem-resistant pathogens in healthcare systems across the EU/EEA.
Dysbiosis is a condition that can cause various clinical disorders, from gastrointestinal problems to allergies or even cancer. Resetting the microbiota using antibiotics and/or probiotics could be a possible therapy for many diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three treatment regimens in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

In order to provide molecular epidemiological data regarding their dissemination, 77 P. stuartii strains collected from five hospitals located in different regions of Romania were analysed.

Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from different anatomical sites were tested for antibiotic susceptibility by phenotypic methods and confirmed by PCR for the presence of four carbapenemase genes. Genome macrorestriction fingerprinting with XbaI was used to analyze the relatedness of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates collected from eight hospitals.

It is now recognized that a primary factor contributing to a non-healing trajectory and a low therapeutic response is the biofilm infection. The purpose of this study was to identify the bacterial isolates collected from chronic skin wounds of hospitalized patients and to evaluate their antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, virulence factors, as well as the ability to develop biofilms in vitro.

Aim: The objective of this research was to identify morphological risk factors, in order to prevent it.
Material And Methods: We realized a retrospective study on 50 patients and made correlation between the prevalence and gravity of radiological identified root resorption and multiple biological and anatomical features.
