Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how bacteria adapt to patients over long hospital stays, focusing on antimicrobial resistance and metabolic changes in the gut during intensive care unit (ICU) admissions.
- Weekly rectal swabs from ICU patients were analyzed to track the evolution of enteric bacterial populations, revealing that only a small number of patients harbored distinct strains.
- Key findings included a persistent strain that exhibited significant changes in drug resistance, highlighting the impact of genetic mutations on bacterial behavior and patient treatment challenges.
Background: The incidence of infective endocarditis is increasing over time. Data on the impact of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of amoxicillin on treatment outcomes are scarce. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of infective endocarditis and to evaluate whether the MIC of amoxicillin might influence mortality.

Background: Colostrum is the first milk for a newborn. Its high content in microbiota shaping compounds and its intake at the time of gut microbiota seeding suggests colostrum may be critical in the establishment of a healthy microbiota. There is also accumulating evidence on the importance of the gut microbiota for healthy growth.
