Background: Invasive candidiasis is a predominant mycosis in hospitalized patients, and is the species most often responsible for this infection. Most candidiasis cases originate from endogenous mycobiota; therefore, strains can easily be transferred among hospital patients and personnel. The aim of this study was to assess the possible horizontal transmission of in patients with severe COVID-19 infection requiring hospitalization in the intensive care unit.

Five (4.9%) were Panton-Valentine leucocidin-positive clonal complex 398, sequence types 1232 and 9181.

Purpose: This study was aimed at comprehensive genomic analysis of VIM-type carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) in Poland.
Methods: All non-duplicate 214 VIM-producing KpSC isolates reported in Poland in 2006-2019 were short-read sequenced and re-identified by the average nucleotide identity scoring. Their clonality/phylogeny was assessed by cgMLST and SNP in comparison with genomes from international databases.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, particularly those producing carbapenemases (CPE), pose a major threat to human health, being listed among critical-priority resistant pathogens by the World Health Organization.
Aim: In this study we report on a large nosocomial spread of CPE of different species producing VIM-type carbapenemases, and on the infection prevention and control measures thata were adopted to contrast the spread.
Methods: Conventional culture and molecular methods were used for detection and identification of VIM-positive CPE (VIM-CPE) causing infections or colonizing patients or present in environmental specimens.

The rise of carbapenem-resistant coharboring KPC-2 and NDM-1 poses a significant public health threat. KPC-2-NDM-1- is rarely reported in clinical settings. In this study, we report the largest cohort of eight KPC-2-NDM-1- isolated from children with urinary tract infections.
