Prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance and Infectious Diseases in a Hospitalised Migrant Population in Paris, France, a Retrospective Study.

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of anti-microbial resistance (AMR) carriage and its risk factors in hospitalized migrants. Additionally, the prevalence of infectious diseases was evaluated, as well as symptoms of psychological trauma. We conducted a retrospective monocentric cross-sectional study including all migrant patients recently arrived and hospitalised over a one-year period.

Evidence of Sexual Transmission of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales: A Cross-sectional and Prospective Study.

Background: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) represent a major threat to public health. Little is known on their potential for sexual transmission.

Methods: We recruited individuals at a sexually transmitted infection and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) outpatient clinic in Paris, France, in whom we evaluated the prevalence of ESBL-E intestinal carriage and, among those testing positive, the proportion with clearance 6 months thereafter.

Spontaneous and postsurgical/traumatic Klebsiella pneumoniae meningitis: two distinct clinico-microbiological entities.

Objectives: To analyze and compare the characteristics and outcomes of spontaneous meningitis (SM) versus postsurgical/traumatic meningitis (PSTM) due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Methods: A retrospective multicentric cohort study of all K. pneumoniae meningitis cases managed between January 2007 and May 2018 was carried out in seven university hospitals in the Paris area.

The Diversity of Lipopolysaccharide (O) and Capsular Polysaccharide (K) Antigens of Invasive in a Multi-Country Collection.

is a common cause of sepsis and is particularly associated with healthcare-associated infections. New strategies are needed to prevent or treat infections due to the emergence of multi-drug resistant . The goal of this study was to determine the diversity and distribution of O (lipopolysaccharide) and K (capsular polysaccharide) antigens on a large (>500) global collection of strains isolated from blood to inform vaccine development efforts.
