This case report describes a patient with the rare phenomenon of multiple liver abscesses and signs of hepatitis, secondary to disseminated listeriosis. All signs and symptoms resolved with antibiotic treatment only, contradicting current literature. This suggests that the development of multiple liver abscesses following infection with Listeria monocytogenes does not necessarily yield a poor prognosis, even without drainage.

- The study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors associated with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO), specifically extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E), in 12 long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Amsterdam from November 2014 to August 2015.
- Fecal and nasal samples were collected from 385 residents, finding an overall prevalence of 18.2% for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and 14.5% for ESBL-E specifically, with the majority of ESBL-E cases linked to CTX-M production.
- The research indicated that 80% of residents with ESBL-E were not previously identified as carriers, highlighting significant undetected
Chronic Q fever-related complications and mortality: data from a nationwide cohort.

November 2019
Objectives: Chronic infection with Coxiella burnetii (chronic Q fever) can cause life-threatening conditions such as endocarditis, infected vascular prostheses, and infected arterial aneurysms. We aimed to assess prognosis of chronic Q fever patients in terms of complications and mortality.
Methods: A large cohort of chronic Q fever patients was assessed to describe complications, overall mortality and chronic Q fever-related mortality.
