Abstract
Foodborne transmission of pathogenic and toxigenic microorganisms has been a recognized hazard for decades. Even half a century ago we knew about the dangers of botulism from underprocessed canned foods; staphylococcal poisoning from unrefrigerated cream-filled pastries, sliced ham, meat, and poultry salads; and salmonellosis from infected animal products. Despite new protective measures, changes in preservation techniques and failure to follow recognized procedures have created new dangers. Moreover, we now recognize new organisms that can cause foodborne illness--Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Campylobacter jejuni, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Yersinia enterocolitica, and others. Controlling these organisms will require widespread education and possibly new regulatory initiatives.
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
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
