Presence of mcr-1-positive Enterobacteriaceae in retail chicken meat but not in humans in the Netherlands since 2009

TL;DR: It is indicated that mcr-1-based colistin-resistance currently poses no threat to healthcare in the Netherlands, but continued monitoring of colistIn resistance and its underlying mechanisms in humans, livestock and food is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bile acids drive the newborn's gut microbiota maturation.

TL;DR: The authors investigate the impact of the developing host hepatic metabolism on the murine intestinal microbiota composition with comparative analysis at immediate postnatal period, early infancy and weaning and adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nosocomial outbreak of multi-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii on a surgical ward : epidemiology and risk factors for acquisition

TL;DR: Patients admitted on a general surgical ward colonized or infected with multi-resistant A. baumannii strains should alert the hospital infection control team, and prompt implementation of strict infection prevention measures to prevent further spread is advised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Faster Identification of Pathogens in Positive Blood Cultures by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Routine Practice

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the performance, time to identification, and potential clinical benefits of FISH compared to those of conventional culture methods in routine practice, and concluded that FISH allows rapid and reliable identification of the majority of microorganisms in growth-positive blood cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved detection of microbial DNA after bead-beating before DNA isolation.

TL;DR: Physical disruption by bead-beating with 0.1mm beads in combination with MagNA Pure DNA III extraction enhances microbial lysis of diverse Gram-positive microorganisms and may be used to optimize DNA extraction protocols in routine clinical diagnostics.
