In this article, methodical experience and population data are given for application of PCR-SSP/ARMS method (Phototyping) to HLA class I typing in Olomouc. Phototyping is reliable method suitable for typing of small to medium number of samples. Method is fast enough for use in on-call service, resolution is better than the level of good serology, and price of method is comparable with serology. Our experience and tips are described below. Population data of healthy unrelated individuals for HLA-A, -B, -Cw are given in the tables.

Background: Antimicrobial stewardship promotes the appropriate use of antibiotics to prevent the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the use of antibiotics using a point prevalence survey at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Zone d'Abomey Calavi/Sô-Ava (CHUZ/AS) in Benin.
Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized the WHO point prevalence survey methodology for monitoring antibiotic use among inpatients in hospitals.

\nKlebsiella pneumoniae is a common pathogen of healthcare-associated infections expressing a plethora of antimicrobial resistance loci, including ADP-ribosyltransferase coding genes (arr), able to mediate rifampicin resistance. The latter has activity against a broad range of microorganisms by inhibiting DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. This study aims to characterise the arr distribution and genetic context in 138 clinical isolates of K.

: Severe COVID-19 still constitutes an important health problem. Taking into account the crucial role of HLA in immune reactions, evaluation of the impact of HLA on COVID-19 risk and clinical course seemed necessary, as the already available data are inconsistent. The aim of the present study was to compare the HLA profiles of patients with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and a healthy control group, as well as to compare HLA allele frequencies in patients with severe and non-severe courses of COVID-19.
