Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are commonly colonized by bacterial pathogens, which can induce persistent lung inflammation and may contribute to clinical deterioration. Colonization of CF patients and cross-transmission by have not been reported so far. The aim of this article was to investigate the possibility of a cross-transmission of biovar Belfanti between four patients of a CF center.

Aim: To estimate the overall prevalence of SSI following day surgery, regardless of the type of surgery.
Background: Antibiotic streamlining is pivotal to reduce the emergence of resistant bacteria. However, whether streamlining is frequently performed and safe in difficult situations, such as bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia (BPP), has still to be assessed.
Methods: All adult patients admitted to Dijon Hospital (France) from 2005 to 2013 who had BPP without complications, and were alive on the third day were enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the geographical variation in the prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) across 21 departments in France to improve healthcare provision.
- Using a spatial Bayesian approach and various data sources, the prevalence of MS was found to significantly differ between regions, with the northeast showing the highest rates.
- The research highlights the complexity of MS prevalence variation, suggesting factors like migration, socioeconomic status, and environmental influences may play a role, without clear ties to healthcare access or facilities.
