[Multiple PCR for multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae management at Albacete University Hospital].

Objective: Multi-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (MRE) are a public health threat, with screening and isolation strategies being important to stop its dissemination. Multiplex PCR is a novel method capable of rapid diagnosis with high sensitivity and specificity. In this study, our objective was to evaluate its application to multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae management since its implementation in our hospital.

Using the AS04C-adjuvanted hepatitis B vaccine in patients classified as non-responders.

Background: Chronic hepatitis B (HB) remains a significant global health concern, despite the widespread availability of the HB vaccine. While the standard vaccine demonstrates an impressive serological response rate exceeding 90%, a subset of individuals exhibit suboptimal immunity. This study aims to elucidate the efficacy of the AS04C-adjuvanted HB vaccine in addressing non-responsiveness.

[Vaccination against hepatitis B in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: immune response and associated factors.].

Objective: Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are at increased risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection as well as a lower response to vaccination. This study aimed to analyze the immune response after vaccination against HBV in patients diagnosed with IBD and its associated factors.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients with IBD treated at the vaccination clinic for at-risk patients at the during the period 2011-2018.
