Article Synopsis
- * The most commonly found PDMs were atypical enteropathogenic E. coli (16%), Yersinia enterocolitica (2%), and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (1.7%), while other PDMs were less frequent.
- * Traveling outside Europe significantly increased the odds of carrying Campylobacter spp. and enterotoxigenic E. coli, while older individuals (≥65 years) were less likely to carry these microbes compared
The aim of the study was to validate whether rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) by very early reading of disc diffusion tests would provide reliable results in daily routine work. A total of 264 positive blood culture bottles were examined, of which 178 were examined as part of the daily routine workflow. Enterobacterales were evaluated for resistance to cefotaxime, ceftazidime, gentamicin and ampicillin.

Methods: A prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study of women aged ≥16 years, with pivmecillinam-treated community-acquired UTIs caused by E.
