Department of Nephrology, The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Gram-negative bloodstream infection (GNBI) poses a serious threat to critically ill patients. This retrospective study aimed to uncover drug resistance of pathogens and the GNBI effect on in-hospital death and distinguish death risk factors in a medical intensive care unit (ICU).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study of all GNBI patients in the medical ICU of the Third Xiangya Hospital over 9 nine years was conducted.

Department of Medical Pharmacology, University of Ghana Medical School, Accra, Ghana.
Background: Empiric treatment of suspected neonatal sepsis must be based on data on setting-specific causative pathogens and their respective susceptibilities to antimicrobials, as well as universal treatment guidelines. This approach will ensure better therapeutic outcomes and reduce mortality.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the bacteriological profile and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of isolated microorganisms responsible for neonatal sepsis in a regional hospital in Ghana.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oral amoxicillin/clavulanate (AMX-CL) for the prevention of bacteremia following dental extractions. The study group (AMX-CLG) comprised 40 adults requiring dental extractions under general anesthesia who were administered a prophylactic regimen of 1875/125 mg of AMX-CL orally 1-2 h prior to the surgery. Venous blood samples were collected from each patient at baseline and at 30 s and 15 min after dental extractions.

Polymicrobial infections including yeasts and bacteria are not rare and patients with polymicrobial bloodstream infection have higher early and overall case fatality rates. The diagnosis of invasive fungal and bacterial infections is mainly based on blood culture. The aim was to reveal the effect of concomitant bacteraemia on the detection of fungi from blood cultures in the presence of polymicrobial bloodstream infections involving and non- fungi and to show the superiority of blood culture bottles including selective fungal media in such situations.

Introduction: The prevalence of hematogenous dissemination of mycobacteria is high in immunosuppressed patients. The isolation of mycobacteria in culture remains the standard procedure.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study based on the results of solid (Löwenstein-Jensen medium) and semi-automated liquid (BACTEC 9240) blood cultures, obtained from the Lacen-GO database.
