A bisexual human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive male had successive bacteremias with "Campylobacter cinaedi" and "Campylobacter fennelliae." Because final identification of both isolates was not completed until 1 month after the last admission of the patient, a novel and nonstandardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing method was useful in guiding timely antimicrobial therapy.

Background: Recurrent or persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia presents significant clinical challenges. Comprehensive genomic-scale studies on the genetic changes in MRSA that correspond to refractory bacteremia are lacking.
Method: From 2011 to 2019, MRSA blood isolates were collected from patients with persistent or recurrent bacteremia at a teaching hospital in southern Taiwan.

Under certain conditions, these can cause a wide range of invasive infections in humans. occurs in the commensal intestinal flora and related bacteremia typically occurs secondary to an injury to the intestinal mucosa and in the presence of predisposing conditions, such as gastrointestinal disorders, malignancies, diabetes, HIV infection or neutropenia.

The -independent oxacillin non-susceptible (MIONSA) strains represent a great clinical challenge, as they are not easily detected and can lead to treatment failure. However, the responsible molecular mechanisms are still very little understood. Here, we studied four clinical ST8-MSSA- isolates recovered during the course of antibiotic treatment from a patient suffering successive episodes of bacteremia.

Objectives: Tellurium has received substantial attention for its remarkable properties. This study performed and testing of the antibacterial action of tellurium nanoparticles biosynthesized in actinomycetes against methicillin-resistant (MRSA), a common blood bacterial pathogen.
Methods: Nine actinomycete isolates were tested for their potential to reduce potassium tellurite (KTeO) and form tellurium nanoparticles (TeNPs).
