Objective: The objectives of this work were to know the prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections in the paediatric population of our health department, to describe the risk factors for infection by MRSA compared to those produced by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and to know the antibiotic sensitivity profile of MRSA and MSSA isolates.

- Infections from carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and other resistant strains present a significant global health issue, with this study focusing on their distribution in Spain from 2014 to 2018.
- A national retrospective study analyzed 2,704 cases of carbapenemase-producing microorganisms, identifying 84.7% as carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) and 15.3% as carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CPPA), using molecular methods for accuracy.
- The findings indicate that OXA-48-like and VIM carbapenemases were the most common in Spain, with regional variations in prevalence and a noticeable increase in OXA-
Introduction: The increase in sexually transmitted infections (STI) caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) worldwide, together with the decrease in antibiotic susceptibility, forced us to understand the epidemiology of gonococcal infection.
Methods: The GONOvig project analyzed, comparatively following CLSI and EUCAST criteria, the antibiotic susceptibility of 227 NG strains collected in thirteen representative hospitals of the Valencia Community (CV) between 2013 and 2018. Additionally, molecular typing of 175 strains using the NG multi-antigen sequence typing technique (NG-MAST) was performed.
