Microbiology of breast abscesses.

Introduction: Treatment of breast abscesses is based on drainage and antibiotic therapy directed at the bacteria causing the infection. The aim of this study was to know the etiological agents of breast abscesses.

Methods: Patients who had a culture-positive breast abscess between September 2015 and January 2020 were included in the study.

Identification of Candida auris and related species by multiplex PCR based on unique GPI protein-encoding genes.

Background: The pathogen Candida auris is rapidly gaining clinical importance because of its resistance to antifungal treatments and its persistence in hospital environments. Early and accurate diagnosis of C. auris infections is crucial, and however, the fungus has often been misidentified by commercial systems.

First Draft Genome Sequence of a Clinical Strain of .

This paper reports the first draft genome sequence for a strain of obtained from an immunocompetent patient with a knee infection. The 8.2-Mb genome has 8,329 coding sequences, including intrinsic resistance genes, biosynthetic gene clusters for polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthase, virulence genes, and prophages.

[Prevalence and incidence in Albacete, Spain, of Toxoplasma gondii infection in women of childbearing age: differences between immigrant and non-immigrant (2001-2007)].

Background: Strategies to prevent congenital toxoplasmosis must be adapted to the local epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii infection. The objective of this study was to know the prevalence and the incidence of T. gondii infection in women of childbearing age in Albacete.
