Early postoperative infections due to Serratia marcescens have been reported by both clinicians and microbiologists in our teaching hospital. Here, we present an interlinked clinical, epidemiological, environmental and genomic investigation of this outbreak due to a T-shaped intraoperative probe contaminated by S. marcescens used during peroperative ultrasonography in laparoscopic liver resection.

Photothermal nanoparticles locally release heat when irradiated by near-infrared (NIR). Clinical applications initially involved tumor treatment, but currently extend toward bacterial infection control. Applications toward much smaller, micrometer-sized bacterial infections, however, bear the risk of collateral damage by dissipating heat into tissues surrounding an infection site.

Coronal pulpotomies were recently re-investigated as an alternative to root canal treatment in vital permanent teeth. General dentists may be interested in knowing how to perform full pulpotomy, in particular in face of difficult endodontic cases of vital teeth. A systematic review was undertaken on the PubMed and Cochrane databases in order to determine which procedure should be applied for pulp capping and coronal restoration in routine dental practice.

J Hosp Infect
May 2019
Infection Control Unit, CHU UCL Namur, Yvoir, Belgium; National Reference Centre for Monitoring Antimicrobial Resistance in Gram-Negative Bacteria, CHU UCL Namur, Yvoir, Belgium.
Background: Enterobacteriaceae are recognized as leading pathogens of healthcare-associated infections.
Aim: To report the investigation of a nosocomial outbreak of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacter cloacae affecting cardiothoracic surgery patients in a Belgian academic hospital.
Methods: Cases were defined based on epidemiological and microbiological investigations, including molecular typing using repetitive element-based polymerase chain reaction and multi-locus sequence typing.
Iatrogenic Non-Reconstructable Duodenal Injury Presenting without Peritonitis: An Indication of Pancreatoduodenectomy in the Presence of Safe Hands. A Case Report.

Iatrogenic duodenal injuries are rare complications of upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, gallbladder, and right kidney operations. Management includes diverse options depending on a number of factors that include the size of the injury, timing of presentation, degree of peritoneal contamination, and presence of peritonitis and/or sepsis, etc. While most duodenal injuries are small, large complex non-reconstructable injuries may occasionally occur, requiring complex surgical procedures rather than primary repair which if done in the latter cases, may lead to further morbidity and mortality.
