Objectives: To evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibilities of Gram-positive and Gram-negative isolates from patients in Jordan between 2010 and 2021, through the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance (ATLAS) programme.
Methods: Medical centres in Jordan collected bacterial isolates from hospitalised patients with defined infection sources between 2010 and 2021 (no isolates collected in 2014). Antimicrobial susceptibility was interpreted using CLSI standards.

Orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) represents the standard of care for managing patients affected by end-stage and life-threatening liver diseases. Although a significant improvement in surgical techniques, immunosuppressant regimens, and prompt identification of early post-transplant complications resulted in better clinical outcome and survival in OLT recipients, the occurrence of early bacterial infections still represents a remarkable cause of morbidity and mortality. In this scenario, beta-lactams are the most frequent antimicrobials used in critical OLT recipients.

The probing of live bacteria via the incorporation of fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) during peptidoglycan synthesis has been shown to be practical for visualizing both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial species. This study demonstrates the reliability and applications of FDAA labelling for the fluorescent imaging of an obligate anaerobe.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate risk factors for mortality among older adults (≥ 75 years) with hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: We included patients aged ≥ 75 years with HA-BSI in ICU from the EUROBACT-2 cohort (2019-2021). Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted to identify predictors of 28-day mortality.

Pathogenic bacteria trigger complex molecular interactions in hosts that are characterized mainly by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as an inflammation-associated response. To counteract oxidative damage, cells respond through protective mechanisms to promote resistance and avoid tissue damage and infection; among these cellular mechanisms the activation or inhibition of the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is frequently observed. The transcription factor Nrf2 is considered the regulator of several hundred cytoprotective and antioxidant genes.
