Staphylococcus epidermidis is an opportunistic commensal cutaneous biofilm-producing agent frequently causing musculoskeletal infections (MSI) with/without implants. This study was designed to evaluate phenotypic and genomic relatedness between commensal skin and infection-associated isolates.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important pathogen that causes several human infections, which is currently among the main bacterial species of clinical importance. This study detected virulent strains causing intestinal and extraintestinal infections.

This retrospective study aimed to investigate the impact of the emergence of new variants and the epidemiological scenario on hospitalization rates of unvaccinated children (0-12 years) in Brazil. The death rate was 1.9%, with comorbidities playing a significant role.

This study aims to report the most common signs and symptoms in children infected by seasonal respiratory viruses and those infected by COVID-19, providing information about the signs and symptoms to healthcare professionals.

Objectives: To characterize a novel acquired MBL, BIM-1, in a Pseudomonas #2 (subgroup P. guariconensis ) strain isolated from the Aurá river located in the Brazilian Amazon hydrographic basin. WGS analysis revealed a novel acquired MBL-encoding gene, bla BIM-1.

Since its first report, the class A Brazilian Klebsiella carbapenemase (BKC) has been detected only among Enterobacterales isolates from Brazilian hospitals. In this study, we characterized a multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas juntendi clinical isolate and identified a 43.3-kb plasmid carrying bla BKC-1.

Trichosporon spp. are constituents of the normal flora of humans that can cause both superficial and invasive infections, mainly in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts, respectively. Here, we report a case of Trichosporon asahii causing subcutaneous fungal infection (SFI) in an immunocompetent patient after carpal tunnel surgery.
