Ampicillin Resistance Common in Escherichia coli Isolates From Children With Diarrhea
Investigators assessed antimicrobial resistant profiles of Escherichia coli pathotypes detected via fecal swabs among children with diarrhea from Mozambique.
E. Coli
Antibiotics Within the Same Class May Not Be Ideal in Combination Therapy for Bloodstream Infections
Researchers assessed the efficacy and interaction between the 4 most common antibiotic combinations for Escherichia coli bloodstream infections.
Carriage of Extended-Spectrum β-lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales Associated With Number of Sexual Partners
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether the risk for extended-spectrum -lactamase-producing enterobacterales is associated with number of sexual partners and increased sexual activity.
Antimicrobial Resistance, Mortality Risk Associated With Specific E coli Isolates in Patients With Bloodstream Infections
Researchers conducted a study that assessed antimicrobial resistance associated with specific Escherichia coli isolates in patients infected with E coli bacteremia.
Packaged Salads Tied to E. Coli Outbreak in 6 States
More than a dozen people have been infected by a strain of Escherichia coli in 6 US states.
Outcomes of Children With Acute Diarrhea Treated With Azithromycin
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether the addition of azithromycin to standard care decreases the risk of mortality among children with acute watery diarrhea.
![Staphylococcus aureus is a rare cause of myocarditis and typically affects immunocompromised patients with sepsis. S aureus myocarditis usually occurs with endocarditis and may result in the formation of abscesses on the heart valves and muscle.5 “As with viral myocarditis, this disease can present with signs and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction, complicating the diagnosis,” wrote the authors of a 2008 case study.12 “Much of the available data on bacterial myocarditis [were] collected before the development of many modern diagnostic tests and before antibiotics [thus] the appropriate workup, diagnosis and treatment remain unclear.”12 A case report published in 2018 described a 44-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis taking methotrexate who was diagnosed with S aureus myocarditis (and associated left ventricular apical thrombus) after having septic shock.13 Complete recovery was achieved with a 12-week course of antibiotics and anticoagulation.](https://www.infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2021/03/7staphylococcusaureusgetty1_1479047-507x306.jpg)
Changes in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns Vary by Type of Species and Specimen
Investigators conducted a study to assess the frequency at which changes in antimicrobial susceptibility patterns occur among bacterial species isolated from the same patient.
Risk Factors, Hospital Interventions Associated With Hospital-Acquired Bacteremia
Researchers conducted a study to determine the relationship between hospital interventions and the risk for hospital-acquired bacteremia.
Postinfectious IBS: What to Look For
Given the overall prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome, it is important for clinicians to be able to distinguish postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome from its other subtypes.
Increasing Concerns Surrounding Prevalence of Infections in Cirrhosis
The natural history of cirrhosis is significantly affected by the increasing prevalence of infections, with strategies for prevention and treatment difficult to compose.
