Effect of Carbapenem-Resistant Infection on the Clinical Outcomes of Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) infection has proven to be difficult to control and typically presents with devastating effects.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on the renal recipients at our institution between January 2021 to January 2022. Clinical data was collected to identify factors associated with CRKP infection and clinical outcomes.

Endocarditis After Renal Transplantation Confirmed by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Potent immune-suppressive therapy has been demonstrated to increase the risk of infective endocarditis (IE) in renal recipients. Reports of () endocarditis in renal recipients are scarce, thus limiting understanding of the disease.

Case Presentation: We describe a case of native valve endocarditis caused by in a 35-year-old male patient.

The prevalence of canine Leishmania infantum infection in Sichuan Province, southwestern China detected by real time PCR.

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is endemic in western China, and becoming an important public health concern. Infected dogs are the main reservoir for Leishmania infantum, and a potential sentinel for human VL in endemic areas. In the present study we investigated the prevalence of Leishmania DNA in dogs from Wenchuan, Heishui and Jiuzhaigou County in Sichuan Province, southwestern China, which are important endemic areas of zoonotic VL, detected by real time PCR.
