TL;DR: WGS-based AST using ResFinder 4.0 provides in silico antibiograms as reliable as those obtained by phenotypic AST at least for the bacterial species/antimicrobial agents of major public health relevance considered.

TL;DR: A PCR-based assay is developed that easily identifies a clone with high likelihood of producing ESBLs, including CTX-M-15, which represents 3% of non-ESBL B2 isolates originating from urinary tract infections in Paris.

TL;DR: The burden of multidrug resistance in Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) now represents a daily issue for the management of antimicrobial therapy in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and recent reports emphasizing the spread of colistin resistance in environments with high volume of polymyxins use elicit major concern.

TL;DR: Evidence of a significantly reduced survival in patients with neurolisteriosis treated with adjunctive dexamethasone is found, and the time window for fetal losses is determined, which is higher than reported elsewhere.

TL;DR: Even brief exposure to imipenem is a major risk factor for IR-GNB carriage in intensive care patients, according to a case control study performed.
