TL;DR: Patients who receive intravenous colistin should be closely monitored and Cmin levels might be a new useful tool to predict acute kidney injury (AKI), when using the RIFLE criteria.

TL;DR: The results strongly support the hypothesis that the ancestor of the SHV-1 β-lactamase originated from the K. pneumoniae TEM-1 producers, and it can be postulated that the loci for SHv-1 and LEN-1 genes are arranged in tandem.

TL;DR: The unique set of mutations responsible for the XDR phenotype of ST175 clone documented 7 years earlier were found to be conserved, denoting the long-term persistence of this specific XDR lineage in Spanish hospitals.

TL;DR: Moisturizing body milk is a potential source of infection in severely ill patients and the presence of bacteria in cosmetic products, even within accepted limits, may lead to severe life-threatening infections.

TL;DR: Although a low proportion of CPE infections were bacteraemic, active antibiotic therapy was a protective factor for reducing mortality and some differences in the epidemiology of C PE depending on the type of carbapenemase produced were found.
