TL;DR: Intensive investigation of this population of patients with bronchiectasis led to identification of one or more causative factor in 47% of cases, and the cause identified had implications for prognosis and treatment.

TL;DR: Whole genome sequencing has revealed frequent transmission of multidrug resistant NTM between patients with cystic fibrosis despite conventional cross-infection measures.

TL;DR: The BSAC Guidelines on Endocarditis were updated and extended to reflect changes in both the antibiotic resistance characteristics of causative organisms and the availability of new antibiotics as discussed by the authors, and therefore a consensus approach has again been adopted.

TL;DR: These guidelines have been produced following a literature review of the requirement for prophylaxis to prevent bacterial endocarditis following dental and surgical interventions.

TL;DR: Although the primary endpoint was not reached, this study shows that inhaled colistin is a safe and effective treatment in adherent patients with bronchiectasis and chronic P. aeruginosa infection.
