Article Synopsis
- CP-Eco isolates are a type of bacteria that can spread antibiotic resistance genes quickly and lead to infections that are hard to treat. This study aimed to analyze these isolates from Spain to learn more about their resistance and genetic makeup.
- A total of 90 isolates from various hospitals in Spain were examined for their antibiotic susceptibility and genetic characteristics. Notably, a common strain (ST131) was identified, with many isolates demonstrating resistance to multiple antibiotic groups.
- The research found that a significant number of isolates had complex genetic traits that contribute to their resistance, with some exhibiting virulence genes. The study underscores the concern of CP-Eco's ability to spread antibiotic resistance in both community and hospital settings.
serovar Kentucky (. Kentucky) with sequence type (ST) 198 and highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (ST198-Cip ) has emerged as a global MDR clone, posing a threat to public health. In the present study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) was applied to characterize all Cip Kentucky detected in five Spanish hospitals during 2009-2018.

Occlusion of the renal artery is uncommon in ADPKD and can be associated with hypertension. We report a 38-year-old woman with ADPKD and severe hypertension, abdominal magnetic resonance angiogram and arteriography revealed left renal artery total occlusion.

The aims of this study have been to compare the survival of patients with HCC being diagnosed or not in SPs, and to establish a more accurate profile of the best target population.
Methods: From January 1996 to June 2005, 290 patients with HCC were included.
Bordetella bronchiseptica is an important veterinary pathogen but a rare cause of opportunistic respiratory tract infection in humans. We describe a case of pleural effusion caused by B. bronchiseptica in a patient with AIDS who was coinfected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
