Article Abstract
() stands as a primary cause of health-care-associated colitis in adults; however, extraintestinal manifestations of , particularly bacteremia, are exceptionally rare. In this report, we document a case of an elderly male with multiple comorbidities who presented with an acute onset of fever. Diagnostic testing revealed the presence of concurrent bacteremia involving and . The multilocus sequence typing analysis identified this strain as ST81. After receiving a combination treatment of vancomycin and biapenem, the patient successfully recovered and was subsequently discharged. This case report elucidates the clinical presentation and treatment strategies for ST81 bacteremia, underscoring the critical need for heightened monitoring of extraintestinal infections in high-risk patients.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with subsequent cardiovascular disease; however, it is unclear what impact changes in screening and diagnostic criteria have had on the association of GDM with long-term outcomes such as cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between GDM and subsequent cardiovascular disease during a period of rising gestational diabetes diagnosis in England. Specifically, associations were compared before and after 2008, when national guidelines supporting risk factor-based screening were introduced.
