This research aimed to analyze the volatile compounds emitted during the proliferation of Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) in the laboratory setting using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and to investigate the potential of volatile metabolomics for detecting carbapenemase-producing strains of K. pneumoniae.

Nosocomial infections caused by () may pose serious risks to patients, and early identification of pathogenic bacteria and drug sensitivity results can improve patient prognosis. In this study, we clarified the composition and relative content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated by in tryptic soy broth (TSB) using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). We explored whether imipenem (IPM) could be utilized to differentiate between carbapenem-sensitive (CSEC) and carbapenem-resistant (CREC).

BACKGROUND This study aimed to detect the volatile organic compound (VOC), 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (acetoin) using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) in antimicrobial-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) carbapenemase (KPC)-producing bacteria. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using stromal fluid of blood culture bottles (BacT/ALERT® SA) as the medium, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (acetoin) released by K.

Objective: This research aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and antimicrobial treatment of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by complex (ECC).

Methods: The clinical data of patients with bloodstream infections caused by complex from April 2017 to June 2023 were collected retrospectively. These data were then analyzed in subgroups based on the detection results of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), 30-day mortality, and the type of antimicrobial agent used (β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations (BLICs) or carbapenems).

This study aimed to identify carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) based on changes in levels of its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in simulated blood cultures (BCs) using the gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) technique. A comprehensive analysis of volatile metabolites produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) in BC bottles was conducted using GC-IMS.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients with bacteremic pneumonia caused by different pathogens over a period from 2016 to 2019.
  • A total of 162 patients were analyzed, revealing a 30-day mortality rate of 43.75% for the KP-BP group compared to 21.95% for the -BP group, indicating significant differences in prognosis.
  • The research found that KP-BP patients faced higher mortality risks under certain conditions like being in intensive care or having resistant infections, whereas the Pitt bacteremia score was a key predictor of mortality for patients in the -BP group.

Objective: and are prevalent Gram-negative microorganisms responsible for pneumonia, as well as the primary pathogens causing bacteremic pneumonia. The objective of this research is to analyze the risk factors associated with bacteremic pneumonia caused by these pathogens and develop a predictive model.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective investigation encompassed a cohort of 252 patients diagnosed with or -induced bacteremic pneumonia between 2018 and 2022.

Purpose: Partial cystectomy was investigated as a method of bladder preservation with better disease outcomes than transurethral bladder tumor resection in T1 high-grade bladder cancer patients. . The national Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER) (2004-2015) were used to obtain patients diagnosed with T1 high-grade bladder cancer, and finally, 25263 patients were enrolled in our study.
