Chlamydia trachomatis in Iceland: Prevalence, Clinico-epidemiological Features and Comparison of Cobas 480 CT/NG and Aptima Combo 2 (CT/NG) for Diagnosis.

The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of, and risk factors for, Chlamydia trachomatis in attendees recruited prospectively from October 2018 to January 2019 at the only sexually transmitted infections clinic in Iceland (in Reykjavík), and to evaluate the cobas 4800 CT/NG Test and Aptima Combo 2 Assay for C. trachomatis detection in male urine and female vaginal swabs. Prevalence of C.

Prevalence of Mycoplasma genitalium and Antibiotic Resistance-Associated Mutations in Patients at a Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinic in Iceland, and Comparison of the S-DiaMGTV and Aptima Mycoplasma genitalium Assays for Diagnosis.

is prevalent among attendees in sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics, and therapy is hampered by rapidly rising levels of resistance to azithromycin and moxifloxacin. In this study, we evaluated, for the first time in Iceland, the prevalence of and azithromycin and moxifloxacin resistance-associated mutations and assessed the diagnostic performance of the CE/ diagnosis (IVD)-marked S-DiaMGTV (Diagenode Diagnostics) versus the U.S.

Long-lasting outbreak due to CTX-M-15-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST336 in a rehabilitation ward: report and literature review.

Background: Whereas Klebsiella species are the most frequently occurring agents in nosocomial outbreaks due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms, very few outbreaks have been reported from rehabilitation wards.

Aim: To describe a long-lasting outbreak due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL) Klebsiella pneumoniae in a rehabilitation ward.

Enteropathogens in acute diarrhea: a general practice-based study in a Nordic country.

The epidemiology of infectious diarrhea influences the microbiological investigation of the disease, and is best elucidated through prospective studies. We undertook such a study in a Nordic country. Patients of all age groups who had acute diarrhea were recruited prospectively from general practice clinics in Iceland.
