Inappropriate penicillin allergy labeling results in suboptimal or excessive broad spectrum antibiotic use. In this multidisciplinary project, the antimicrobial stewardship team safely delabeled 71.4% of hospitalized patients approached. Similar programs may also be able to delabel minimal or low-risk penicillin allergic patients without formal allergy consultation.

Background: Infection is a leading cause of death after pediatric heart transplants (PHTs). Understanding of common pathogens is needed to guide testing strategies and empiric antibiotic use.
Methods: We conducted a 3-center retrospective study of PHT recipients ≤18 years old presenting to cardiology clinics or emergency departments (EDs) from 2010 to 2018 for evaluation of suspected infections within 2 years of transplant.
A comprehensive clinical and microbiological study on the diagnosis and management of cholangitis in patients with biliary atresia undergoing kasai portoenterostomy.

Departments of Pediatrics, Giza, Egypt.
Background And Objectives: Kasai-portoenterostomy (KPE) is the initial attempt to restore the bile flow and salvage the native liver in biliary atresia (BA) patients. Cholangitis is a frequent complication after KPE and adequate treatment impacts the long-term outcome. The aim of our study is to assess the severity of cholangitis episodes in a cohort of BA patients post KPE, identify the causative agents, using several diagnostic methods, as well as to assess the tolerability and efficacy of our antimicrobial protocol.

Candidaemia in children is associated with high mortality. The epidemiology of Candida bloodstream infection is changing with rising rates of fluconazole resistance worldwide and the emergence of novel multidrug-resistant species such as Candida auris, which is associated with outbreaks. Guidelines on the management of candidaemia emphasise identification of species and determination of antifungal susceptibility to guide appropriate treatment, performing relevant investigations to rule out deep-seated infection, and removal of central venous catheters.

Antibiotic use in pets can contribute to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both humans and pets. There is a paucity of data on pet owners' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antibiotic use in pets in Asia, despite increasing pet ownership. Therefore, we conducted a study to compare the knowledge, attitudes and practices of antibiotic use and AMR for pets amongst cat and/or dog owners in Singapore.
