Article Synopsis
- A study in Romania revealed a growing prevalence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM)-producing Enterobacterales in hospitals, with 355 cases reported from 2018 to 2022.
- Analysis of 74 isolates over nearly two years identified four persistent multi-hospital clusters of these drug-resistant bacteria, demonstrating sustained transmission across multiple regions.
- The findings highlight the urgent need for enhanced infection control measures and improved national surveillance for carbapenem-resistant pathogens in healthcare systems across the EU/EEA.
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 18 carbapenemase variants were identified, predominantly in ST131 clades A and C, with the most common variants being detected in 14 and 12 countries, respectively.
- * The rise in isolates carrying these genes since 2021 highlights a significant public health threat posed by the high-risk ST131 lineage.
Purpose: HLA-A29 is the main susceptibility factor for birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR). Our study assessed the impact of the second HLA-A allele alongside HLA-A29 on BSCR severity and susceptibility, focusing on HLA-A29 homozygous patients and those with alleles from the HLA-Aw19 group.
Methods: We included 120 additional cases to our previous analysis of 286 patients with BSCR, all HLA-A29 positive.
BackgroundAntibiotic resistance poses a considerable public health threat, with data-driven stewardship a main prevention measure. While quantifying antibiotic consumption is a key component of antibiotic stewardship programmes, the choice of denominator for calculating this metric can impact comparative analyses and trend evaluations substantially, influencing targeted stewardship interventions.AimWe aim to evaluate how using hospital sector-specific antibiotic consumption rate denominators at country level impacts country rankings and trends, addressing the limitations of the commonly used 'defined daily doses (DDD) per 1,000 inhabitants per day' metric.

Purpose: Birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR) is an ocular HLA-related disease with variable clinical progression. We examine the quality of life (QOL) of BSCR individuals aged ≥80 years, providing insights into the long-term disease impact.
Methods: We utilized data from the CO-BIRD cohort (ClinicalTrials.
