TL;DR: The eazyplex(®) SuperBug CRE system proved to be a powerful tool for the detection of different carbapenemases as well as CTX-M-type ESBLs in Enterobacteriaceae with a rapid resolution time.

TL;DR: The observed reduction of ~70% in the incidence density of HCFA CDI in a context of no reduction in antibiotic use supports the importance of reducing nosocomial transmission by healthcare workers and asymptomatic colonized patients, reinforcing cleaning procedures and reducing patient mobility in the epidemiological control of CDI.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of nosocomial Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in the hospital setting.

TL;DR: The in vitro activity of C/T observed in this surveillance study suggests that this agent can be considered as a therapeutic option for cUTI and cIAI due to Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa in ICU patients, particularly when carbapenemase-producing isolates are not involved.

TL;DR: A publicly accessible database within EnteroBase that automatically retrieves and assembles C. difficile short-reads from the public domain, and calls alleles for core-genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and Hierarchical clustering rapidly identifies database entries that are related at multiple levels of genetic distance, facilitating communication among researchers, clinicians and public-health officials who are combatting disease caused by C.difficile.
