Detection of cefiderocol and aztreonam/avibactam resistance in epidemic ST-361 carrying and from foreign fighters evacuated from Ukraine.

Genomic surveillance detected clonal sequence type-361 isolates carrying , , , and from a patient in Ukraine and four wounded foreign soldiers evacuated to Germany. Isolates were non-susceptible to carbapenems, aminoglycosides, and cefiderocol and aztreonam/avibactam due to a PBP3 YRIN insertion and the AmpC β-lactamase. Coordinated surveillance efforts across civilian, military, and veteran healthcare systems are essential to prevent further spread as international volunteers return home after medical evacuation from Ukraine.

Dissemination of extensively drug-resistant NDM-producing in Europe linked to patients transferred from Ukraine, March 2022 to March 2023.

BackgroundThe war in Ukraine led to migration of Ukrainian people. Early 2022, several European national surveillance systems detected multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria related to Ukrainian patients.AimTo investigate the genomic epidemiology of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing from Ukrainian patients among European countries.

Bacterial flora of combat wounds from eastern Ukraine and time-specified changes of bacterial recovery during treatment in Ukrainian military hospital.

Background: Microbiology of modern war wounds is unique for each military conflict. Climatic and geographical features of the theater of war, contemporary warfare as well as wound management affect the microbial flora of wounds. This study was designed to determine time-specific microbial flora of combat wounds of upper and lower extremities obtained during the war in eastern Ukraine.
