Journal ArticleDOI
Photodegradation of fluoroquinolones in surface water and antimicrobial activity of the photoproducts.
Michela Sturini,Andrea Speltini,Federica Maraschi,Luca Pretali,Antonella Profumo,Elisa Fasani,Angelo Albini,Roberta Migliavacca,Elisabetta Nucleo +8 more
TL;DR: The widespread presence of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) in natural ecosystems is a health hazard for humans and other living organisms and the role of sunlight in degrading FQs present in environmental waters has been studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifocal Detection of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Producing the PER-1 Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase in Northern Italy
Laura Pagani,Elisabetta Mantengoli,Roberta Migliavacca,Elisabetta Nucleo,Simona Pollini,Melissa Spalla,Rossana Daturi,Egidio Romero,Gian Maria Rossolini +8 more
TL;DR: The present findings indicate that MDR P. aeruginosa clones producing the PER-1 ESBL are endemic to this area of northern Italy, where they have been circulating since the mid-1990s and have been associated with several nosocomial outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nosocomial Outbreak Caused by Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Producing IMP-13 Metallo-β-Lactamase
Laura Pagani,Céline Colinon,Roberta Migliavacca,Maria Labonia,Jean Denis Docquier,Jean Denis Docquier,Elisabetta Nucleo,Melissa Spalla,Michele Li Bergoli,Gian Maria Rossolini +9 more
TL;DR: An outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa showing a multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype was observed in a general intensive care unit of a large tertiary care and clinical research hospital in southern Italy, the first description of a nosocomial outbreak of relatively large size caused by an IMP-producing gram-negative pathogen in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases, KPC-Type, and MCR-1.2-Producing Enterobacteriaceae from Wells, River Water, and Wastewater Treatment Plants in Oltrepò Pavese Area, Northern Italy.
Mariasofia Caltagirone,Elisabetta Nucleo,Melissa Spalla,Francesca Zara,Federica Novazzi,Vittoria Mattioni Marchetti,Aurora Piazza,Aurora Piazza,Ibrahim Bitar,Ibrahim Bitar,Marica De Cicco,Stefania Paolucci,Giorgio Pilla,Roberta Migliavacca,Laura Pagani +14 more
TL;DR: The results of the Oltrepò Pavese water compartment antibiotic-resistance contamination rates highlight the need to improve hygienic measures to reduce the load of discharged bacteria with emerging resistance mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth in glucose-based medium and exposure to subinhibitory concentrations of imipenem induce biofilm formation in a multidrug-resistant clinical isolate of Acinetobacter baumannii
Elisabetta Nucleo,Laura Steffanoni,Giulia Fugazza,Giulia Fugazza,Roberta Migliavacca,Ernesto Giacobone,Antonella Navarra,Laura Pagani,Paolo Landini +8 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that exposure to subinhibitory concentrations of imipenem can stimulate biofilm formation and induce iron uptake in a pathogenic strain of A. baumannii, with potential implications on antibiotic susceptibility and ability to persist in the human host.
