[Shigellosis attended in the emergency department of a regional hospital in southeastern Spain: from their presence to multiresistance].

Objective: In the bacterial etiology of severe acute infectious diarrhea, except that caused by Clostridioides difficile, most of them have an invasive character and antibiotic treatment will be necessary in specific situations. Shigella is a classic pathogen, in which it is crucial to know the sensitivity to different classic and alternative antimicrobials. The objective of this work was to analyze the presence of shigellosis and the rate of antibiotic resistance.

[Infections in patients colonized with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in a medium Spanish city].

Objective: Because there are few studies on the clinical implications of colonization by carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CRB) this was analyzed in rectal smears (RS) and pharyngeals (PS) and its ability to predict infection/colonization.

Methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective study from adult inpatients between January 2016 and December 2019 was conducted. The isolates were characterized by MicroScan and spectrometry of masses applying EUCAST 2018 cutoff points.

[Increased infections by herpes simplex virus type 1 and polymicrobials of the genital tract, in the general population of a Spanish middle city].

Objective: Infections by genitopathogens are a frequent reason for consultation in Primary Health Care and in the specialties of Infectious Diseases, Urology, Gynecology, and Dermatology. The most common causes are opportunistic microorganisms and responsible for sexually transmitted infections associated with unprotected sex. The objective is to determine the microorganisms that cause these infections in patients treated at the Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves in Granada and Neisseria gonorrhoeae susceptibility to antibiotics.

[Prevalence among males from the general population of agents responsible of not ulcerative genital tract infections, assisted in specialized care].

Objective: Male genital infections are a major problem due to their high frequency and morbidity and their role in cases of male infertility. We studied the presence, in males assisted in specialized care, of non-ulcerative genital tract infections-producing agents.

Methods: We studied descriptively and retrospective microbiological results of 3,066 samples of male patients, with diagnosis of genital tract infection episode, received between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

The Effect of Anticholinergics for Prevention of Storage Symptoms After Prostate Photovaporization.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of oral anticholinergics as a preventive strategy of storage symptoms and urinary incontinence associated with the early postoperative period after Greenlight laser photovaporization of the prostate (PVP). To analyze potential variables related to the onset of these symptoms.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of 105 patients who underwent PVP using a 180-W Greenlight laser (XPS).

Streptococcus agalactiae: prevention and vaccine development.

Streptococcus agalactiae, group B Streptococcus (SGB), is the most important cause of morbi-mortality among newborn population, and an important pathogen among immunossupressed adult patients. Despite the advances in the treatment and prevention of neonatal infections as a consequence of implementation of national and international recommendations for prevention of infection, there are still some improvements for the final control of the disease. In this sense, the vaccination against SGB could be an effective measure for the prevention of disease in those cases where intrapartum prophylaxis is not useful and in adult patients with risk factors for invasive infection due to SGB.

[Detection of unusual uropathogens during a period of three years in a regional hospital].

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most frequent both in the community and in hospitals infectious diseases. The etiology of urinary tract infections is well established but may vary depending on various factors such as age, the presence of underlying diseases such as diabetes, instrumental procedures such as urinary catheterization or exposure to antibiotics or previous hospitalizations. UTIs diagnosed cases were retrospectively reviewed for unusual microorganisms over a period of 3 years (2011-2013) in the Microbiology Laboratory of the Hospital Virgen de las Nieves of Granada (Spain), following the standard operating procedure, which we describe four cases caused by Trichosporon asahii, Aerococcus urinae, Pasteurella bettyae and Neisseria sicca.
