TL;DR: The first three cases of nosocomial fungemia caused by C. auris are described, which confirms that it is a causative agent of bloodstream infections and emphasizes the importance of accurately identifying this species.

TL;DR: Candida species that are closely related to C. haemulonii are emerging sources of infection in Korea and show variable patterns of susceptibility to amphotericin B and azole antifungal agents.

TL;DR: It was revealed that reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin in nontyphoid Salmonella isolates was common in Taiwan and Thailand, and in S. enterica serotype Choleraesuis and Virchow from all countries.

TL;DR: Patients who have COVID-19 may already be infectious before there are symptoms, and 14 days of isolation after diagnosis may be sufficient in entirely asymptomatic cases.

TL;DR: The echinocandin susceptibilities of bloodstream Candida isolates growing in a biofilm was investigated and within the therapeutic range of concentrations of each drug, caspofungin and micafungin were active against biofilms formed by Candida albicans or C. glabrata but not those formed by C. tropicalis orC.
