In order to compare the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth macrodilution and microdilution methods of susceptibility testing for echinocandins and yeast, 55 strains of Candida representing 5 species were tested using the CLSI-recommended broth macro- and microdilution methods. Small (1-3 log(2)) but potentially important method-, species-, and drug-dependent differences in MICs were observed.

Cefepime-tazobactam (FEP-TAZ) consists of cefepime combined with tazobactam, a penicillanic acid-sulfone recognized as an established beta-lactamase inhibitor. This study aims to investigate the in-vitro effectiveness of FEP-TAZ against cefepime-resistant clinical isolates of Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Unlabelled: The performance of the Liofilchem Compact Antimicrobial Susceptibility Panel (ComASP) Cefiderocol was evaluated in a multicenter study. Enterobacterales, , and clinical isolates and challenge isolates were tested by three and one sites, respectively. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing was performed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution and ComASP, which included two reading endpoints (CLSI read; MIC is the first well in which reduction of growth is <1 mm or light haze/faint turbidity] and ComASP [ComASP read; MIC is the first well at which 100% inhibition of growth occurs]).

Background And Purpose: is the third most commonly isolated species from candidemia patients admitted to Indian intensive care units. Outbreak of infection and emergence of fluconazole resistance associated with this particular species has been increasingly documented since 2018. Worldwide data has documented that Y132F substitution in the gene is the predominant fluconazole resistance mechanism among .

Objectives: Sheep farming represents an important economic sector in Algeria, and the potential dissemination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcaceae (MRS) is a critical veterinary and public health concern. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and types of MRS in ovine in Algeria and characterize them using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis.
Methods: Two hundred sheep from twenty different Algerian farms across three regions were screened for nasal colonization with MRS.
