¿Qué significa tener apendicitis? - Somosdisc@
Todos conocemos a alguien que le han operado de apendicitis, pero ¿qué significa tener apendicitis? porque es tan doloroso?

More bacterial resistance news (unfortunately)! 🦠 K. pneumoniae, a key culprit for #septicemia & UTIs, showed increasing #antimicrobialresistance between 2019-2021 based on whole #genome sequencing by Gamaleldin et al. 🧬
Concerning, but work like this is crucial for tracking the rise in resistant #pathogens. Proud that SequenceServer can assist with such vital #research

Comparison of genotypic features between two groups of antibiotic resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates obtained before and after the COVID-19 pandemic from Egypt - BMC Genomics
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common pathogen capable of causing a wide range of infections. Antibiotic resistance complicates treatment of these infections significantly. We are comparing resistance levels and genotypes among two collections of K. pneumoniae clinical isolates from Alexandria Main University Hospital (AMUH). We used disc diffusion and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) by microbroth dilution to assess resistance levels and performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) to describe multilocus sequence types (MLST) and resistance gene presence. Among a collection of 56 K. pneumoniae clinical isolates (19 from 2019 to 37 from 2021), multidrug resistance (MDR) was 33% and 10%, extended drug resistance (XDR) was 24% and 46% and pan-drug resistance (PDR) was 43% and 43%, respectively. We identified 15 MLST STs including two novel types (ST-6118 and ST-6119 ). ST-101 and ST-383 were common between the two collections; ST-101 was the most common genotype in 2019 (28.6%) and ST-147 was most common in 2021 (25%). Ampicillin/sulbactam, amikacin, cefepime, ceftriaxone and ertapenem MICs were significantly higher in 2021. Prevalence of aph(3’) – Ia, aph(3’)-VI, mphA was significantly higher in 2021. The increasing resistance levels and the persistence of some MDR/XDR genotypes is concerning. Understanding mechanisms of resistance will inform infection control and antimicrobial stewardship plans to prevent evolution and spread of XDR and PDR strains.
