Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Brucella melitensis strains isolated from patients in Bosnia and Herzegovina, highlighting significant human health concerns due to brucellosis.
- Among the 108 strains analyzed, a notable 84.3% showed resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in standard broth, while over 90% were resistant to azithromycin in multiple testing environments.
- The findings suggest that alternative testing methods, like enriched broth, may improve understanding of antimicrobial resistance, indicating a need for further genomic studies to investigate the underlying mechanisms of resistance in these bacteria.
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the balance between the personal and professional lives of trainees and young European specialists in clinical microbiology (CM) and infectious diseases (ID), and determine differences according to gender, country of training, workplace and specialty. The Steering Committee of the Trainee Association of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) devised a questionnaire survey consisting, beyond the demographic questions, of nine yes/no questions, 11 Likert scale self-evaluations and one open-response item on parenthood, working conditions, quality of life, alcohol consumption and burnout. This anonymous survey in English was held between April and July 2015 among European CM/ID trainees and young specialists (<3 years after training completion).

An online, anonymous survey in the English language was carried out between April and July 2015. There were 25 questions: seven in a 5-point Likert scale (1: worst scenario, 5: best scenario) and the remainder as closed multiple-choice questions in five areas (satisfaction, adequacy, system, mentorship, and evaluation of training).
