Whole-Genome Sequencing of Invasive Neonatal Escherichia coli From Uppsala County, Sweden.

Background: This study sought to investigate associations between virulence factors and phylogeny in all neonatal Escherichia coli bloodstream infections from patients admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Uppsala University Hospital between 2005 and 2020.

Methods: A total of 37 E. coli isolates from 32 neonates were whole-genome sequenced and analyzed for virulence factors related to extraintestinal E.

Limitations in predicting reduced susceptibility to third generation cephalosporins in Escherichia coli based on whole genome sequence data.

Prediction of antibiotic resistance from whole genome sequence (WGS) data has been proposed. However, the performance of WGS data analysis for this matter may be influenced by the resistance mechanism's biology. This study compared traditional antimicrobial susceptibility testing with whole genome sequencing for identification of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) in a collection of 419 Escherichia coli isolates.

The First Swedish Outbreak with VIM-2-Producing , Occurring between 2006 and 2007, Was Probably Due to Contaminated Hospital Sinks.

Multidrug-resistant is an increasing clinical problem worldwide. The aim of this study was to describe the first outbreak of a Verona integron-borne metallo-ß-lactamase (VIM)-2-producing strain in Sweden and its expansion in the region. A cluster of multidrug-resistant appeared at two neighbouring hospitals in 2006.

Lipoma on the Sole of the Left Foot: Case Report.

Introduction: Lipomas are benign soft-tissue swelling commonly found on the neck, upper back, trunk, and shoulder but are rare in the foot and particularly in the sole.

Case Report: This is a case of lipoma in a 49-year-old female teacher with 2 months history of painless swelling at the sole of the left foot which later became painful when it was traumatized. The patient was referred from a peripheral hospital to a teaching hospital in Ghana.

Infection control measures to stop the spread of sequence type 15 OXA-23-producing Acinetobacter baumannii in a Swedish Burn Center.

Objective: To describe the course of the outbreak and infection control measures to stop the spread of sequence type 15 OXA-23-producing Acinetobacter baumannii in the Burn Center of Uppsala University Hospital, between November 2014 and the end of April 2015.

Methods: Compliance with hand hygiene, dress code, and cleaning routines were reviewed, the ward's environment was systematically investigated to identify potential environmental sources. Sampling routines for A.
