Bacterial/fungal infection in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in a tertiary hospital in the Community of Castilla y León, Spain.

Introduction: Bacterial/fungal coinfection and superinfections contribute to the increased morbi-mortality of viral respiratory infections (RIs). The main objective of this study was to determine the incidence of these infections in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Method: Retrospective observational study of all patients admitted for COVID-19 and bacterial/fungal infections at the Hospital Clínico Universitario of Valladolid, Spain (March 1-May 31, 2020).

Clinical features and outcomes of bacteraemia due to OXA-48-like carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a tertiary hospital.

Introduction: Limited therapeutic options and high mortality make the management of OXA-48-like carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPOXA-48) bacteraemia complicated. The aim of the study was to describe the clinical characteristics of KPOXA-48 bacteraemia between October 2013 and December 2016.

Material And Methods: The variables to analyse were retrospectively collected from medical records.

[Epidemiology of enterobacteriaceae causing bloodstream infections in neonatal intensive care unit patients].

Introduction: An increasing number of neonates require intensive care, and this population has a high risk of developing infections. The Enterobacteriaceae most commonly related to healthcare-associated infection in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp and Enterobacter cloacae.

Methods: From January 2001 to December 2005, 84 bloodstream infections caused by E.

Susceptibility of the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex to imipenem, meropenem, sulbactam and colistin.

The Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex includes some of the most clinically relevant species of the genus Acinetobacter due to their capacity to cause epidemic nosocomial outbreaks as well as their increasing resistance to antibiotics. Susceptibility of Acinetobacter strains varies greatly depending on origin, thus highlighting the importance of local analyses of susceptibility profiles. Two hundred twenty-one strains of the A.
