Analysis of the Spectrum of Common Pathogens and the Resistance of Mycoplasma in Sialidase-Positive Bacterial Vaginosis.

Background: The objective of this study is to understand the characteristics of the common spectrum of pathogen and the resistance of Mycoplasma in Sialidase-positive bacterial vaginosis.

Methods: The vaginal secretion specimens collected from August 2018 to October 2018 for the analysis of bacterial vaginosis (BV) were subjected to various techniques. These included routine leukorrhea examination, bacterial vaginosis sialidase testing, routine culture for common pathogens, mass spectrometry identification, and Mycoplasma resistance testing.

Microbiology and Clinical Outcome of Bloodstream Infections in Patients After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Purpose: Patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are often followed by bloodstream infections (BSIs). BSI is an important cause of non-relapse mortality (NRM) in HSCT patients.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients (aged >14 years) who underwent HSCT at our hospital from 2017 to 2021.

Risk factors and molecular epidemiology of bloodstream infections due to carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Purpose: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is emerging as a worldwide public health concern; however, molecular epidemiological surveillance of clinical CRKP bloodstream infection (BSI) in China is limited. We conducted a retrospective observational study to assess risk factors and the molecular epidemiology of CRKP BSI.

Methods: We reviewed the medical records of enrolled patients to assess risk factors of CRKP BSI.

Research and correlation analysis on the dripper contamination of carteolol hydrochloride eye drops.

Background: Multi-dose eye drops are easily contaminated by microorganisms, and reportedly, the highest contamination rate can reach 96.46%. The use of contaminated eye drops can cause serious eye infections.

Polymyxin B resistance rates in carbapenem-resistant isolates and a comparison between Etest and broth microdilution methods of antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Polymyxin B has been considered to be the last line of defense for life-threatening infections caused by multiple drug resistant gram-negative pathogens, including carbapenem-resistant (CRPA). The present study analyzed CRPA resistance to polymyxin B in the Suzhou district of China. Additionally, polymyxin B resistance rates were compared in different parts of the world to determine global trends.
