Molecular Epidemiology and Horizontal Transfer Mechanism of -Carrying Linezolid-Resistant .

The aim of this work was to provide a theoretical and scientific basis for the treatment, prevention, and control of clinical drug-resistant bacterial infections by studying the molecular epidemiology and horizontal transfer mechanism of -carrying linezolid-resistant strains (LREfs) that were clinically isolated in a tertiary hospital in Kunming, China. Non-repetitive LREfs retained in a tertiary A hospital in Kunming, China. The strains were identified by Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

Prophylactic antibiotic treatment for preventing nosocomial infection in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-resuscitated circulatory arrest patients.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the characteristics of nosocomial infections (NIs) and the impact of prophylactic antibiotic administration on NI outcomes in patients who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the rate, type, pathogens, outcomes, and risk factors of NIs that developed in adult patients who underwent ECPR at our institution between January 2002 and January 2022.

Results: Among 105 patients (median age, 58.

Influence of confirmed viral infection on adult acute fulminant myocarditis supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Background: The impact of etiologies of acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM), which requires extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), on clinical outcomes remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for ECMO weaning and mortality among patients with AFM due to viral etiologies in a tertiary referral medical center.

Methods: We included 33 adults with AFM who received ECMO and were admitted between January 2002 and January 2021.
