TL;DR: The data suggest that MRSA transmission was more serious in LTCFs than in hospitals, and infection control should be focused on LTCF in order to reduce the burden of MRSA carriers in healthcare settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Klebsiella oxytoca-associated diarrhea detected by Simmons citrate agar supplemented with inositol, tryptophan and bile salts

TL;DR: K. oxytoca can cause a mild disease manifesting as uncomplicated antibiotic-associated diarrhea with winter seasonality, and cell culture cytotoxicity neutralization assay using HEp-2 cells and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed a diverse pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI
