TL;DR: The study confirmed an incidence rate of fungemia in Denmark three times higher than those in other Nordic countries and identified marked differences related to age and gender.

TL;DR: The incidence of fungaemia continues to increase in Denmark and is associated with a decreasing proportion being susceptible to fluconazole, and changes in demography, higher incidence in the elderly and higher antifungal consumption can at least in part explain the changes.

TL;DR: SAB patients carry a high risk for development of IE, which is associated with a worse prognosis compared with uncomplicated SAB, and echocardiography should always be considered as part of the initial evaluation of SAB patients.

TL;DR: The oCelloScope system provides a fast high-throughput screening method for detecting bacterial susceptibility that might entail an earlier diagnosis and introduction of appropriate targeted therapy and thus combat the threat from multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria.
