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: A fully integrated device that can perform both multiple biochemical analysis and sandwich type immunoassay simultaneously on a disc is reported that is advantageous for point-of-care applications because it requires a smaller amount of blood and takes less time.

TL;DR: The occurrence of acquired metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)–producing bacteria in Korean hospitals was determined and infections produced MBL and had alleles of blaVIM-2 or blaIMP-1.

TL;DR: This study affirms VNIc to be the most prevalent genotype of C. neoformans isolated from non-HIV patients with cryptococcosis in the Republic of Korea andsimilar strains in China had serious underlying conditions, with cancer and liver disease being the most common.

TL;DR: Data suggest that an epidemic clonal group of VREF, CC78 with esp gene, is also present in Asia and has differentiated into multiple diverse genotypic clones during the evolutionary process.
