Whole-genome characterisation of Escherichia coli isolates from patients with bacteraemia presenting with sepsis or septic shock in Spain: a multicentre cross-sectional study.
Lancet Microbe
April 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on characterizing *Escherichia coli* (E. coli) blood isolates that cause sepsis or septic shock, as these infections are common and often severe, leading to critical health outcomes in affected patients.
- - Data from a multicenter study in Spain involved whole-genome sequencing of E. coli blood isolates from patients over 14 with diagnosed sepsis or septic shock, identifying various microbiological features, including phylogroups, sequence types, virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes.
- - Results showed that most isolates belonged to phylogenetic group 1, with specific sequence types such as ST131 and ST73 being the most common, but there were no significant geographical
Objectives: We aimed to assess the percentage of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus in Spain.
Methods: Thirty participating Spanish hospitals stored all morphologically identified A. fumigatus sensu lato clinical isolates-regardless their clinical significance-from 15 February to 14 May 2019.

Introduction: Lady Windermere syndrome (LWS) is a pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). The objective of this study is to ascertain its frequency and characteristics in the northern area of the autonomous community of Castile and León.
Methods: A retrospective study of patients with MAC isolates in respiratory samples from five public hospitals in the autonomous community over a six-year period, following the ATS/IDSA criteria.
Human Mycobacterium bovis infection in Castile and León (Spain), 2006-2015.
Enferm Infecc Microbiol Clin (Engl Ed)
January 2019
Introduction: The annual incidence of tuberculosis (TB) from Mycobacterium bovis in humans has considerably declined in industrialised countries since the early twentieth century. The objective of this study was to determine the epidemiological, clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with this illness in Castile and León (CyL).
Methods: Retrospective study of all M.
Introduction And Objectives: A retrospective study was conducted by collecting microbiological tuberculosis (TB) data in Castile and León during the year 2013 in order to determine the incidence and distribution of TB, and resistance to the tuberculostatic drug, and compare them with the epidemiological data provided by the Department of Epidemiological Surveillance (SIVE).
Material And Methods: Microbiologists of the 14 hospitals of the Castile and León public health network (GRUMICALE) collected epidemiological, microbiological, and management data from the Microbiology laboratories in the community during the year 2013. A single isolate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) per patient was considered.
