Abstract: ABSTRACT The increased incidence of infections by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) causes an accumulation of patients who are either colonized with VRE or flagged as potentially colonized with VRE. Since such patients require precautionary isolation upon… read more here.

Abstract: The detection of thermotolerant Campylobacter in food may be difficult due to the growth of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae during enrichment, resulting in false-negative samples. Therefore, the ISO protocol (ISO 10272-1:2017) suggests that, next to… read more here.
