Pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from Ukrainian war victims are hypervirulent.

Objectives: Carbapenem- and colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from war victims treated in hospitals in Ukraine. The question was whether these pandrug-resistant K. pneumoniae are pathogenic and capable of causing disease in a broader context.

Temporal evolution of bacterial species and their antimicrobial resistance characteristics in wound infections of war-related injuries in Ukraine from 2014 to 2023.

Background: This study continues surveillance of antimicrobial resistance associated with combat injuries in Ukraine.

Aim: To compare species composition, antibiotic resistance profiles, and emergence of new resistance genes between 2014-2020 and 2022-2023.

Methods: This was a retrospective multi-centre microbiological survey in Ukrainian hospitals.

The effect of local anesthetics against planktonic forms and film formation of strains and its dependence on antiseptics activity.

Today surgical site infections (SSIs) remain the second among hospital acquired infections in Europe and the USA. as a pathogen of nosocomial infections occur more frequently in surgical hospitals. The work was aimed to establish the effect of local anesthetics against planktonic forms and biofilm-formation of clinical strains and the relationship between the sensitivity of strains to local anesthetics and antiseptics .

Adjunctive inhaled amikacin in infants with Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia optimizes the complex antimicrobial therapy: pilot study.

Background And Aim: VAP remains the second leading cause of death among the patients with nosocomial infections and its incidence varies significantly from 5% to 60% reaching on average 10 %. It is of crucial importance to develop novel treatment approaches and optimize the existing ones. Thus, the aim of this pilot study was to study the laboratory-microbiological effect of inhaled aminoglycosides in a complex treatment of patients with ventilator-associatedpneumonia(VAP).
