Retrospective evaluation of rapid genotypic ID and phenotypic AST systems on positive blood culture turnaround time and simulated potential impacts on bloodstream infection management.

Background: Bloodstream infections are linked to heightened morbidity and mortality rates. The consequences of delayed antibiotic treatment can be detrimental. Effective management of bacteraemia hinges on rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Longitudinal two-year comparative genomic analysis of respiratory Staphylococcus aureus isolates from intensive care unit mechanically ventilated patients.

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the main healthcare-associated infection in intensive care units with Staphylococcus aureus as the first pathogen in early VAP.

Aim: To compare, using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), consecutive S. aureus isolates from lower respiratory samples of mechanically ventilated patients for identification of potential cross-transmissions; and to determine a potential link between S.

Emayella augustorita, New Member of Pasteurellaceae, Isolated from Blood Cultures of Septic Patient.

We report discovery of a new bacterial genus and species of the family Pasteurellaceae by using phylogenetic and metabolic analysis. The bacterium, Emayella augustorita, was isolated from blood cultures of a patient in France diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma of the intestines and who was treated with a biliary prosthesis placement.
