The KEYNOTE-522 (KN522) regimen for neoadjuvant treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) utilized q3week dosing for doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide (AC); however, dose-dense AC (ddAC) has demonstrated superior overall survival (OS) compared to q3week AC in anthracycline and taxane-based regimens. We performed a retrospective analysis assessing the use of ddAC in KN522 and the impact of sequencing ddAC before or after carboplatin/paclitaxel (CbT) plus pembrolizumab on multiple outcomes. 128 patients with TNBC were included. Overall pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of 56%. Sequencing of ddAC vs CbT first showed no difference in pCR rate (ddAC 55% vs. CbT 58%, p = 0.77). However, ddAC first compared to CbT first correlated with a significant increase in the incidence of overall treatment delays (ddAC 70% vs. CbT 51%, p = 0.03), with cytopenias most frequent (ddAC 59% vs. CbT 31%, p = 0.001). ddAC in a modified KN522 regimen is safe, tolerable, and effective. Efficacy is comparable regardless of chemotherapy sequencing, but ddAC first is significantly associated with higher rates of treatment delays and cytopenias.

is one of the leading causes of healthcare-associated infections in humans. This bacterium is less represented in veterinary medicine, despite causing difficult-to-treat infections due to its capacity to acquire antimicrobial resistance, produce biofilms, and persist in the environment, along with its limited number of veterinary antibiotic therapies. Here, we explored susceptibility profiles to antibiotics and to didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC), a quaternary ammonium widely used as a disinfectant, in 168 strains isolated from animals, mainly Equidae.

The usage of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) as disinfectants has increased dramatically since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, leading to potentially accelerated emergence of antibiotic resistance. Long-term exposure to subinhibitory level QACs can lead to multidrug resistance, but the contribution of mutagenesis to resistance evolution is obscure. In this study, we subcultured E.

Despite the awareness that work in the sewage treatment plant is associated with biological hazards, they have not been fully recognised so far. The research aims to comprehensively evaluate microbiological and toxicological hazards in the air and settled dust in workstations in a sewage treatment plant. The number of microorganisms in the air and settled dust was determined using the culture method and the diversity was evaluated using high-throughput sequencing.
