This research aimed to analyze the volatile compounds emitted during the proliferation of Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) in the laboratory setting using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and to investigate the potential of volatile metabolomics for detecting carbapenemase-producing strains of K. pneumoniae.

In this study, we clarified the composition and relative content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated by in tryptic soy broth (TSB) using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). We explored whether imipenem (IPM) could be utilized to differentiate between carbapenem-sensitive (CSEC) and carbapenem-resistant (CREC).

MATERIAL AND METHODS Using stromal fluid of blood culture bottles (BacT/ALERT® SA) as the medium, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (acetoin) released by K.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with bloodstream infections caused by complex from April 2017 to June 2023 were collected retrospectively. These data were then analyzed in subgroups based on the detection results of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), 30-day mortality, and the type of antimicrobial agent used (β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations (BLICs) or carbapenems).
Objective: and are prevalent Gram-negative microorganisms responsible for pneumonia, as well as the primary pathogens causing bacteremic pneumonia. The objective of this research is to analyze the risk factors associated with bacteremic pneumonia caused by these pathogens and develop a predictive model.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective investigation encompassed a cohort of 252 patients diagnosed with or -induced bacteremic pneumonia between 2018 and 2022.
Novel ternary nanohybrids, bifunctionalized graphene oxide/MnFeO magnetic nanoparticles (PEHA-Phos-GO/MnFeO), were prepared by a facile method and applied for the removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution. Attributing to the numerous amino and phosphate groups on the bifunctionalized GO nanosheets as well as the magnetic nanoparticles of MnFeO, PEHA-Phos-GO/MnFeO demonstrated high removal efficiency of Pb(II) and rapid magnetic separation. The 366.
