is a globally prevalent foodborne bacterium, and ceftriaxone and azithromycin have been regarded as drugs of choice for treating infections, particularly in children. With the growing incidence of ceftriaxone and azithromycin resistance in , there is an urgent requirement for a rapid and dependable gene testing approach to enhance the efficacy of treating infections. Utilizing the orange to green visible dye approach, this study developed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for the sensitive and specific detection of , ceftriaxone and azithromycin resistance genes (including CTX-M-1 group, , and genes) in stool and blood samples.

Background: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) is emerging globally and can cause various, severe infections in healthy individuals. However, the clinical manifestations of hvKP infections are nonspecific, and there is no gold standard for differentiating hvKP strains. Our objective was to develop prognostic models for estimating severity of disease and predicting 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with hvKP infections.

Objective: To investigate the molecular characteristics of carbapenem-resistant (CRE) from county hospitals in China.

Materials And Methods: Forty-three sequential non-duplicate CRE strains (including 33 isolates, 4 isolates, 3 isolates, 1 , 1 and 1 ) were collected from 4 county hospitals and 2 municipal hospitals. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted by broth microdilution method, using 3-aminophenylboronic acid and EDTA and the modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) to screen phenotype of carbapenemase.

Galactomannan (GM), 1,3-β-D-glucan (BDG) and aspergillus-lateral flow device (LFD) are recognized as diagnostic tools for invasive aspergillosis (IA). The combined performance of these assays, however, is inconsistent in various studies. We undertook a meta-analysis of 13 studies involving 1513 patients to evaluate the utility of GM in combination with BDG or LFD for diagnosing IA.

This study investigated the prevalence of recto-vaginal Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonization, serotype distribution, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns among pregnant women in Dongguan, China. Recto-vaginal swabs were collected from pregnant women at gestational age 35-37 weeks between January 1st 2009 and December 31st 2014. Isolates were serotyped by latex-agglutination and were tested against seven antimicrobials by disk diffusion.
