The number of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in community-acquired urinary tract infections worldwide is probably underestimated because of the technical difficulties encountered with their detection. In this study, out of 5,672 urine samples analyzed, 916 were positive for uropathogens, 472 of them being enterobacteria of which 7.6% produced β-lactamases. Analysis of the isolated from 36 patients showed a high level of antibiotic resistance, with 52.7% and 80.5% of isolates expressing bla TEM and bla CTX-M, respectively.

Critical care department, Zhongshan City People's Hospital, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: The incidence of invasive infection of (Kp) in the community is increasing every year, and the high disability and mortality rates associated with them pose great challenges in clinical practice. This study aimed to explore the clinical and microbiological characteristics of Kp invasive infection in the community.
Method: This study investigated the data of 291 patients with Kp infection in the community in three hospitals (Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province) from January 2020 to August 2023.

Department of Intensive Care Unit, Peking University International Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: The escalating demographic shift towards an aging population and the widespread occurrence of immunological diseases have contributed to an elevation in the frequency of community-acquired infections. Notably, among these infections, community-acquired bloodstream infections (CABSI) stand out due to their significant lethality. Detailed medical history inquiries, assessment of underlying immune status, detection of the source of infection, and initial precise identification and treatment of the infectious agents can improve the prognosis of CABSI.

Objective: Escherichia coli is isolated in most of uncomplicated community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) and fosfomycin is one of the treatments of choice. We analyzed the evolution of fosfomycin resistance in extrahospitalary E. coli urinary isolates and whether age and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production were associated to antibiotic resistance.

Medical Microbiology and Immunology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt.
Background: ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) represent a significant global health threat. In response to this growing concern and the lack of a surveillance system for ESBL-PE infections in Egypt, we conducted this meta-analysis. In this study, we aimed to quantify the prevalence of ESBL-PE based on the source of infection and characterize their molecular dissemination.

Infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens have a longer course, more often require hospitalization, and increase the risk of mortality. The antimicrobial resistance is most relevant for hospitals in the case of the development of nosocomial infections.
