Mobilization of an ICEclc-Like Element as a Potential Mechanism for the Spread of IMP-13 Carbapenemase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a global public health concern. IMP-13 is a carbapenemase that was described for the first time in 2001 but is often underestimated due to poor hydrolysis of carbapenems and a lack of molecular detection. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic support of bla in P.

Comparison of the molecular FluoroType Mycobacteria VER 1.0 and the Maldi BioTyper Mycobacteria assays for the identification of non-tuberculous mycobacteria.

Accurate identification of non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) species is crucial for the diagnosis and appropriate management of NTM infections. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of two assays, FluoroType Mycobacteria VER 1.0 and Maldi BioTyper (MBT) Mycobacteria.

Sodium oxybate: A comprehensive review of efficacy and safety in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome and alcohol dependence.

Alcohol dependence (AD) significantly impacts public health, affecting 3.4% of people aged 18-64 and contributing to around 12% of overall mortality. Individuals with AD have a markedly reduced life expectancy, dying up to 28 years earlier than the general population.

Evaluation of commercial, customized microdilution plates for , , and antimicrobial susceptibility testing and determination of antimicrobial resistance prevalence in France.

Unlabelled: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of human mycoplasmas using microdilution is time-consuming. In this study, we compared the performance of MICRONAUT-S plates (Biocentric-Bruker) designed for AST of , , and with the results using the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) reference method. Then, we investigated the prevalence and mechanisms of resistance to tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and macrolides in France in 2020 and 2021.
