TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured how including patient presentation with the C. difficile assay result impacted assay performance to diagnose CDI and found that clinical presentation is important when interpreting C.difficile diagnostic assays.

TL;DR: A high rate of mupirocin resistance in MRSA isolates from SICU patients is documented, despite low levels of in-hospital m upirocin use.

TL;DR: Double injury, that is, cecal ligation and puncture followed by pneumonia, provides a useful tool in the study of sepsis, creating a prolonged period of infection as opposed to CLP alone.

TL;DR: An isolate of Proteus mirabilis recovered from blood cultures of a diabetic patient was shown to be resistant to imipenem, meropenem, and ertapenems by disk diffusion susceptibility testing, believed to be the first report of carbapenem resistance in P. mirabilIS caused by the acquisition of blaKPC.

TL;DR: ISOL correlates to other quantification methods of detecting gut epithelial apoptosis more than any other method studied and compares favorably to other commonly accepted techniques of quantifying apoptosis in a large intestinal cross sectional by balancing sensitivity and specificity across a range of times and levels of death.
