Skin lesions in children during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Background: Cutaneous manifestations have been included in COVID-19 patients' clinical spectrum. Our objective was to determine the association between skin lesions in children and SARS-CoV2 infection, analyzing others possible infectious/autoimmune etiologies.

Material And Methods: Observational, multicenter, cross-sectional study, about children with skin manifestations from April to May 2020.

OXA-48-Like-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Southern Spain in 2014-2015.

The aim of this study was to characterize the population structure of 56 OXA-48-like-producing isolates, as well as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase genes, recovered in 2014 and 2015 from 16 hospitals in southern Spain. XbaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing were performed to assess clonal relatedness. Representative isolates belonging to OXA-48-like-producing and CTX-M-15-coproducing pulsotypes were selected for characterization of - and -carrying plasmids by PCR-based replicon typing, IncF subtyping, whole-genome sequencing analysis, and typing of Tn structures.

[Microbiological diagnosis of urinary tract infections].

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common infectious diseases observed in primary care; up to one-third of women will have at least one symptomatic UTI by age 24, and more than one-half of women will be affected by the end of life. In addition, UTIs represent 40% of nosocomial infections, and being usually associated with urinary catheters. Although urine cultures would not be indicated in all cases, these samples are the most abundant in the laboratories of clinical microbiology.
