Phenotype and genetic determination of resistance to common disinfectants among biofilm-producing and non-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from clinical specimens in Iran

Mehdi Bakht et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to five commonly used Hospital disinfectants, finding that sodium hypochlorite and ethanol showed the highest and lowest effectiveness, respectively. The addition of EDTA increased the effectiveness of the disinfectants. Exposure to sub-inhibitory concentrations of sodium hypochlorite resulted in resistance to some antibiotics in P. aeruginosa.

The hospital environment versus carriage: transmission pathways for third-generation cephalosporin-resistant bacteria in blood in neonates in a low-resource country healthcare setting

Dory Kovacs et al.

Summary: Neonatal bloodstream infections caused by third-generation cephalosporin-resistant organisms (3GC-RO) are frequent. However, the link between BSI and carriage or acquisition from the hospital environment remains unclear, especially in low-income settings. This study in Tanzania found a high prevalence of 3GC-RO carriage and BSI, but no strong association between the two. Comparison with environmental samples suggested that neonates acquire multidrug-resistant isolates directly from the hospital environment.
