The risk factors and outcomes associated with persistent bacteremia are not well-defined. This retrospective cohort study analyzed 214 cases of bacteremia diagnosed between 2005 and 2022 at two university hospitals, focusing on the clinical and microbiologic characteristics and outcomes of persistent bacteremia. Persistent bacteremia, defined as the detection of for ≥5 days after the initial blood culture, occurred in 25.

: The increased prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Gram-negative bacteria presents a severe public health challenge, leading to increased mortality rates, prolonged hospital stays, and higher medical costs. In Greece, the issue of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria is particularly alarming, exacerbated by overuse of antibiotics and inadequate infection control measures. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacteria in a tertiary hospital in Western Greece over the last eight years from 2016 to 2023.

is an emerging pathogen increasingly implicated in health care-associated infections. Here, we report a case of recurrent ventricular assist device-associated infection caused by multidrug-resistant and describe the clinical course, treatment challenges, and ultimate case resolution. Our results demonstrate that standard clinical methodologies for determining trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole minimum inhibitory concentration, including VITEK2 and gradient diffusion tests, may be unsuitable for as they result in false-negative susceptibility results.
