Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is caused by the use and misuse of antibiotics. AMR is a global health concern, to which penicillin allergy (penA) labels appear to contribute. Patients who have penA labels are treated with non-penicillin antibiotics and receive more antibiotics when compared with patients without penA.

Unlabelled: The incidence of invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infection has been increasing across all age groups, including pediatric patients, and is associated with high mortality rates. Although iGAS infection leads to streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing soft tissue infections, iGAS-associated infective endocarditis (IE) is rare. Here, we report a case of iGAS-associated IE, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, and pyomyositis that occurred after the Fontan procedure in a 7-year-old patient.

Purpose: Infective endocarditis (IE) can be complicated by vertebral osteomyelitis (VO). This study investigates risk factors associated with VO in patients with infective endocarditis, and 6-month mortality and relapse rates in patients with IE and concomitant VO.
Methods: We performed a observational study in two hospitals between September 2016 and October 2022.

One of the rarer complications is pulmonary-renal syndrome (PRS), defined as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.

Equine pastern dermatitis (EPD) is a multifactorial disease with a change in the skin microbiome. The present study monitored the influence of Biocenol™ 4/8 D37 CCM 9015 stabilized on alginite on the skin microbiota of healthy horses and model patients with EPD. Based on clinical signs, EPD lesions were identified as exudative or proliferative forms.
