Abstract

We identified enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in stool specimens of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. The organism was detected in 11 (13.2%) of 83 patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Of 57 patients with active disease, 19.3% were toxin positive; none of those with inactive disease had specimens positive for enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis gene sequences.

Highlights

  • These findings demonstrate low genetic diversity among Y132F isolates from the same country

  • 76.7% (23/30) of patients with Y132F isolates had no antifungal exposure within 30 days before candidemia detection, and their clonal transmission was not detected by routine hospital surveillance, partly because more than half of the patient hospitalizations did not overlap. These findings indicate that clonal Y132F isolates may be dormant over long periods and can survive and persist outside their host on hospital environmental surfaces, which may be similar to the behavior of C. auris [10]

  • We describe a case of B. miyamotoi disease in an immunocompetent patient in western Europe

Summary

Objectives

We describe an abdominal AGI caused by M. chimaera and Granulicatella adiacens. The objective of our study was to describe the characteristics of pediatric patients who had atypical or severe forms of the disease and to search for predictive factors for severe forms. The purpose of this study was to investigate and report 3 unusual cases of arboviral disease that occurred in Colorado in 2008. Based on the need for information about this aspect, we aimed to determine the diffusion of mcr-1–driven colistin resistance in the hospital environment
