    Journal:  Ascertainment of Helicobacter pylori Infection and Eradication Treatment Using a Nationwide Electronic Health Record Database. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 12, 2024   
    Despite presenting with more advanced disease at time of treatment, subjects with DR-TB receiving an all oral bedaquiline-based second-line treatment regimen displayed a similar microbiological response to therapy as subjects with DS-TB receiving a first-line treatment regimen. The treatment algorithm was composed of multiple antimicrobial combinations and overall achieved ?98% PPV (LB

    Journal:  A Case of Legionella Pneumonia with Rhabdomyolysis, with Extremely high Creatinine Kinase without Acute Kidney Injury in an Adult. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 12, 2024   
    The treatment algorithm was composed of multiple antimicrobial combinations and overall achieved ?98% PPV (LB Legionella pneumonia is difficult to distinguish from bacterial pneumonia, therefore rapid Legionella testing, particularly in areas with high rates of incidence, is important for targeted therapy.Legionella pneumonia with rhabdomyolysis with extremely high CPK levels is usually associated with AKI but preserved kidney function is possible and early diagnosis and treatment can lead to decreased mortality and morbidity in severe cases.

    The natural adsorbents were used to remove pharmaceuticals such as diclofenac, ciprofloxacin, and acetaminophen in a mixture of distilled water...Therefore, CH was selected and used to remove other fluoroquinolones, such as levofloxacin and Norfloxacin...In addition, the life cycle analysis presents, for the 11 categories evaluated, a lower environmental impact of the CIP removal in urine with CH than for the preparation of adsorbent, confirming that the adsorption process is more environmentally friendly than materials synthesis or other alternatives of treatments. Furthermore, future directions of the study based on real applications were proposed.

    HCQ's impact on QTc prolongation is influenced by therapeutic context, coadministered drugs, and patient demographics. The findings underscore the necessity of cautious HCQ use, particularly in acute settings like COVID-19, where monitoring and consideration of drug interactions and patient-specific factors are critical.

    Journal:  MIC distribution analysis identifies differences in AMR between population sub-groups. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 9, 2024   
    For example, within Staphylococcus aureus, MIC distributions by age group and infection site displayed clear trends, especially for levofloxacin with higher resistance levels in older age groups (odds of 2.17 in those aged 85+ compared to 19-64), which appeared more often in men...We found that MIC distributions can be used to identify differences in AMR levels between population sub-groups. Our methodology could be used more widely to unveil hidden transmission sources and effects of antibiotic use in different patient sub-groups, highlighting opportunities to improve stewardship programmes and interventions, particularly at local scales.

    It should be kept in mind that severe coagulopathy due to vitamin K deficiency caused by antimicrobial treatment with hyponutrition can occur in postoperative infections. The Kpn_XM9 was resistant to amikacin, aztreonam, ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, doxycycline, minocycline, tigecycline, colistin, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole; it was barely susceptible to CZA with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 8/4

    Journal:  Small RNA GadY in Escherichia coli enhances conjugation system of IncP-1 by targeting SdiA. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    When under ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin treatment, GadY expression in donor strain was enhanced, and it positively regulated quinolone-induced SM10??-PAO1 conjugation. Thus, our study provides a novel role for sRNA GadY in regulating plasmid-mediated conjugation, which helps us better understand bacterial conjugation to counter antibiotic resistance.

    CAVITARY SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA MASQUERADING AS CAVITARY LUNG ABSCESS (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Poster Area 3) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_5496;    
    Although there was initial concern regarding the lesion's progression requiring a lobectomy, the patient responded well to antibiotics and was subsequently discharged on a one-month course of levofloxacin with outpatient follow-up with infectious disease (ID) and thoracic surgery.When seen outpatient, the cavitary lesion decreased in size with antibiotic therapy, obviating the need for bronchoscopy with a plan to follow up in the ID clinic... In summary, effective management of cavitary lung lesions should include a long-term follow-up plan for surveillance of cavitary lung lesions to avoid missing a malignancy diagnosis and ensure resolution and monitoring for any potential recurrence or complications.
