Whole Genome Sequencing of NDM-1-Producing ST11 Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated in a Private Laboratory in Greece.

The emergence and spread of NDM-1-encoding Klebsiella pneumoniae is causing worldwide concern, whereas a second epicenter of their dissemination after the Indian subcontinent is thought to be located in the Balkans. In this study, the complete genome sequencing of an NDM-1-producing ST11 K. pneumoniae isolated in a private laboratory in Greece is presented.

An initially unidentified case of urinary tract infection due to Aerococcus urinae.

Aerococcus urinae is a microorganism responsible for urinary tract and blood stream infections which are rarely reported in clinical practice. However, it has been proposed that the infrequency of such reports may be partially due to difficulties related to pathogen identification. We present here a case of an elderly male patient with urinary tract infection where A.
