Escherichia coli ST131, an Intriguing Clonal Group
TL;DR: Six years after the first description of E. coli ST131, this review outlines the principal traits of ST131 clonal group isolates, based on the growing body of published data, and highlights what is currently known and what the authors need to find out to provide public health authorities with better information to help combat ST131.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Epidemic Resistance Plasmids and International High-Risk Clones in the Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae
TL;DR: Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) and Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 emerged in the 2000s as important human pathogens, have spread extensively throughout the world, and are responsible for the rapid increase in antimicrobial resistance among E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular epidemiology of Escherichia coli producing CTX-M β-lactamases: the worldwide emergence of clone ST131 O25:H4
TL;DR: Empirical antibiotic coverage for E. coli producing CTX-M enzymes should be considered in community patients presenting with sepsis involving the urinary tract, especially if the patient recently travelled to a high-risk area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infections with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae: changing epidemiology and drug treatment choices.
TL;DR: Empirical antibacterial coverage for E. coli producing CTX-M enzymes should be considered in community patients presenting with sepsis involving the urinary tract especially if a patient recently travelled to a high-risk area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foreign Travel Is a Major Risk Factor for Colonization with Escherichia coli Producing CTX-M-Type Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases: a Prospective Study with Swedish Volunteers
TL;DR: This is the first prospective study demonstrating that international travel is a major risk factor for colonization with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, and it is obvious that global efforts are needed to meet the emergence and spread of CTX-M enzymes and other antimicrobial resistances.

Prevalence of chronic kidney disease and decreased kidney function in the adult US population: Third national health and nutrition examination survey
TL;DR: CKD is common and warrants improved detection and classification using standardized criteria to improve outcomes, and CCr estimates showed a steeper decline with age and were lower in non-Hispanic blacks.

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: an emerging public-health concern
TL;DR: More rapid diagnostic testing of ESBL-producing bacteria and the possible modification of guidelines for community-onset bacteraemia associated with UTIs are required.
