TL;DR: A phenotypic cell-based assay that uses automated confocal fluorescence microscopy for high throughput screening of chemicals that interfere with the replication of M. tuberculosis within macrophages is presented, and inhibition of this new target will likely contribute to new therapeutic solutions against emerging XDR-TB.

TL;DR: Few data are available concerning the prevalence of MRSA carriers among hospital employees in the absence of an outbreak among patients, and MRSA transmission between patients and employees likely depends on the frequency and duration of exposure to MRSA-positive patients and infection control measures employed.

TL;DR: Overall, the emergence of community-acquired A. baumannii infections could be associated with interactions between animals, environment, and humans that are considered to be potentially involved in the emergence or re-emergence of some infectious diseases.

TL;DR: The sensitivity of screening with nasal culture alone with that of a multiple-site screening method for the identification of carriers of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at hospital admission was compared.

TL;DR: An outbreak of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (IR-Ab) and the measures for its control and risk factors are described, suggesting that high work load contributes to IR-Ab acquisition.
