Article Synopsis
- Researchers collected 116 environmental samples from a clinical hospital to study the presence of Clostridium species between 2017 and 2019.
- They successfully isolated six strains of C. difficile and twelve strains of C. perfringens from these samples.
- The study highlights that antibiotic-resistant Clostridium species were prevalent in the hospital environment, indicating the need for using specialized media like C diff Banana Broth™ for accurate detection.
Significant changes in the frequency of candidaemia and the distribution of causative species have been noted worldwide in the last two decades. In this study, we present the results of the first multicentre survey of fungaemia in Polish hospitals. A total of 302 candidaemia episodes in 294 patients were identified in 20 hospitals during a 2-year period.

There are many factors responsible for the pathogenicity of Klebsiella strains: capsule, fimbriae, nonfimbrial adhesins, lipopolysaccharide of the cell wall and extracellular secreted exotoxins. Klebsiella strains are etiological agents of different nosocomial infections but also colonized gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts.
