Article Synopsis
- Effective treatments for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria are becoming less available, particularly affecting solid-organ transplant patients.
- Kidney transplant recipients are particularly vulnerable to urinary tract infections, which can lead to serious complications and increased mortality post-transplant.
- A case study showed successful treatment of a complicated urinary tract infection in a kidney transplant patient with extensively drug-resistant (XDR) K. pneumoniae using chloramphenicol and ertapenem, suggesting that chloramphenicol could be a viable alternative for infections from MDR/XDR pathogens despite not being a first-line option.

Article Synopsis
- A new LAMP assay called HiberGene's CD was tested on 82 unformed stool samples from patients thought to have C. difficile infection (CDI).
- When compared to the GDH toxins A/B test, HiberGene's LAMP showed perfect sensitivity (100%) and high specificity (95.8%).
- Compared to the FilmArray™ GI panel test, it exhibited a sensitivity of 81.2% and perfect specificity (100%), with 96.38% agreement between the tests.
Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic increased global demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) and resulted in shortages. The study evaluated the re-use of surgical masks and respirators by analysing their performance and safety before and after reprocessing using the following methods: oven, thermal drying, autoclave, and hydrogen peroxide plasma vapour.
Methods: In total, 45 surgical masks and 69 respirators were decontaminated.
