DOI: 10.1016/j.mimet.2018.12.004
Abstract: BACKGROUND Pathogen detection in pediatric patients with musculoskeletal infections relies on conventional bacterial culture, which is slow and can delay antimicrobial optimization. The ability to rapidly identify causative agents and antimicrobial resistance genes in these… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/v11100891
Abstract: Bacteriophage therapy has recently attracted increased interest, particularly in difficult-to-treat infections. Although it is not a novel concept, standardized treatment guidelines are currently lacking. We present the first steps towards the establishment of a “multidisciplinary… read more here.
