Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. mainly Acinetobacter baumannii are frequently causing nosocomial infections with high mortality. In this study, the efficacy of the Eazyplex® SuperBug Complete A system, based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), to detect the presence of carbapenemases in Acinetobacter spp. directly from...

Background Data on risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) with wider applicability are needed to inform preventive measures and efficient design of randomised trials. Methods An international matched case-control-control study was performed in 50 hospitals with high CRE incidence from March 2016 to November 2018 to...
