Abstract: Using an ambidirectional case-control study, we found that the odds of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) were 3.38 (P = .01) times higher for patients with multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonization compared to those without. MDRO colonization or infection… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2018.00004
Abstract: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative pathogen that has a large accessory genome of plasmids and chromosomal gene loci. This accessory genome divides K. pneumoniae strains into opportunistic, hypervirulent, and multidrug-resistant groups and separates K. pneumoniae… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.928578
Abstract: Background Healthcare-associated infections by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are difficult to control. Virulence and antibiotic resistance genes contribute to infection, but the mechanisms associated with the transition from colonization to infection remain unclear. Objective We investigated… read more here.
