Background: Patients, especially inpatients, with spinal cord lesions and disorders (SCI/D) have an elevated risk of recurrent urinary tract infections with multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria. This study evaluated antimicrobial resistance and the prevalence of multidrug resistance and determined the risk factors for multidrug resistance.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, urine culture results were used to calculate the antimicrobial resistance rate and the incidence of infection with MDR bacteria in the SCI/D population.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the time to first detection of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB) in urine culture and identify risk factors associated with the first detection of MDRB (1 MDRB).
Setting: Spinal Care Ward and Department of Microbiology, Regional Hospital Liberec a.
Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a risk in every operation. Infections negatively impact patient morbidity and mortality and increase financial demands. The aim of this study was to analyse SSI and its risk factors in patients after thoracic or lumbar spine surgery.

- The study aimed to gather data on the molecular epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of MRSA in the Czech Republic through the collection and analysis of 441 MRSA isolates from 11 hospitals.
- Results showed that 81.41% of MRSA isolates belonged to the CC5-MRSA clone, with a high prevalence of SCCmec type II, primarily affecting older inpatients and linked to healthcare settings, alongside notable resistance to multiple antibiotics.
- The findings highlighted the dominance of the CC5-MRSA-II lineage, including the emerging t586 strain, and emphasized the necessity for continued MRSA surveillance to keep track of shifts in its epidemiology.
Background: Nosocomial infection (NI) control is an important issue in neurocritical care due to secondary brain damage and the increased morbidity and mortality of primary acute neurocritical care patients. The primary aim of this study was to determine incidence of nosocomial infections and multidrug-resistant bacteria and seek predictors of nosocomial infections in a preventive multimodal nosocomial infection protocol in the neurointensive care unit (NICU). The secondary aim focused on their impact on stay, mortality and cost in the NICU.
