Non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) are implicated in many healthcare-acquired infections and an understanding of the genetics of antimicrobial resistance is important in relation to both clinical intervention and the role of NAS as a reservoir of resistance genes. Gap statement: The burden of antimicrobial resistance in NAS, particularly to clinically relevant antimicrobials, is under-recognised. We sourced 394 NAS isolates from clinical samples, healthy human volunteers, animals and type cultures and subjected them to minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing by agar dilution using eight antimicrobials.

Herein, we present the case of a 64-year-old woman diagnosed with left calculous pyelonephritis. Gram-positive cocci in clusters were isolated from two sets of her blood culture. These cocci were later identified as Staphylococcus saprophyticus.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following arthroplasty of the hip or knee joint and can be challenging to treat, depending on the underlying pathogen. There is still a debate whether streptococcal PJI are more difficult to treat than those caused by staphylococci. We aimed to investigate if the treatment results after PJI caused by (), spp.

San Juan Bautista School of Medicine, Caguas, Puerto Rico.
Background: Mobile phones used by healthcare workers (HCWs) in hospitals are significant reservoirs of drug-resistant bacteria responsible for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the level of contamination with such bacteria in outpatient clinics.
Methods: Swabs from 83 HCWs' mobile phones were processed using standard biochemical and enzymatic procedures to identify pathogenic bacteria.
Nasal microbiota predictors for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus colonization in critically ill children.

Department of Infectious Diseases, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, United States of America.
Background: Surveillance cultures to identify patients colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is recommended at pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission but doesn't capture other methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus and is resource intensive. We determined the prevalence and identified nasal microbiome predictors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus colonization at the time of PICU admission.
Study Design: A prospective cohort study was performed in a 20-bed pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between 2020-2021.
