Comparison of morbidity and mortality after bloodstream infection with vancomycin-resistant versus -susceptible nationwide cohort study in Denmark, 2010-2019.

The emergence of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) has caused concern. Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether these types are associated with an excess risk of severe outcomes when compared with infections caused by vancomycin-susceptible Enterococci (VSE). This cohort study included hospitalized patients in Denmark with -positive blood cultures collected between 2010 and 2019 identified in the Danish Microbiology Database.

Using core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates to guide infection control interventions and end an outbreak.

Objectives: Until July 2016, vancomycin-resistantEnterococcus faecium (VREfm) was sporadically detected in Odense University Hospital, Denmark. After July 2016, the number of VREfm cases increased. This study aimed to apply a core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme for E.

Bacteraemia with and : a case report.

and are obligate anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria that are rarely involved in human infections. We present the first case of bacteraemia with , which was part of a co-infection with . Both micro-organisms were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and was also identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

Molecular characterization of Danish ESBL/AmpC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from bloodstream infections, 2018.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to molecularly characterize third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from bloodstream infections in Denmark in 2018 using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data, and to compare these isolates to the most common clones detected in 2006 and 2008.

Methods: Sixty-two extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)/AmpC-producing K. pneumoniae isolates from Danish blood cultures from 2018 were analysed using WGS to obtain multilocus sequence typing (MLST), core genome MLST (cgMLST), resistance profile and phylogeny.

[Endogenous Clostridium septicum panophthalmitis associated with gastrointestinal malignancy].

Endogenous panophthalmitis due to Clostridium septicum (C. septicum) is a rare, but life-threatening condition. There is a known association between infection and malignancy.
