Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics and Clonal Spread in COVID-19-Positive Patients on a Tertiary Hospital Intensive Care Unit, Czech Republic

Lenka Doubravska et al.

Summary: This observational retrospective study analyzed the changes in bacterial pathogens and their resistance to antibiotics among intensive care patients in a Czech hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that there were shifts in the distribution and resistance of bacterial pathogens, possibly due to antibiotic selection pressure and clonal spread of bacteria.

State-of-the-art review of secondary pulmonary infections in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia

Woon H. Chong et al.

Summary: The incidence of secondary pulmonary infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients is low, with bacterial infections at 16% (4.8-42.8%) and fungal infections at 6.3% (0.9-33.3%). These infections are predominantly seen in critically ill patients, with common bacterial microorganisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, while Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common microorganism causing fungal infections. The time to diagnose these infections is around 10 days from initial hospitalization.

Sarah M. Gerver et al.

Summary: The study found that coinfection/secondary bacterial/fungal infections were rare in COVID-19 patients in England, but were associated with higher mortality rates, particularly in older individuals and those of Black or Asian ethnicity.

Akshay Khatri et al.

Summary: Combination immunosuppressive therapies were significantly associated with the occurrence of bloodstream infections in COVID-19 patients, calling for increased surveillance of infections. Further studies are needed to establish their causative role in these infections.

Tomohiro Hosoda et al.

Summary: In patients with coronavirus disease who deteriorate rapidly, co-infections by bacterial and fungal pathogens, including hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in eastern Asia, should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Akshay Khatri et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively assessed the association between immunosuppressive therapies and bloodstream infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, finding that the combination of corticosteroid-tocilizumab therapy was significantly associated with BSIs. Further studies are needed to establish causation.
