Abstract: Self-collected rectal-swabs were tested for CT and NG on GeneXpert CT/NG as compared to APTIMA Combo2. Of 448 rectal-swabs, 22 were positive for CT; 7 for NG on both assays; two were discordant. Sensitivity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofaa439.1559
Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat that disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries. An ongoing study of childhood mortality in Bangladesh revealed a common cause of death among neonates is sepsis from Gram-negative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1099/ijsem.0.004100
Abstract: Nine independent Gram-negative bacterial strains were isolated from rectal swabs or stool samples of immunocompromised patients from two different wards of a university hospital. All isolates were phylogenetically analysed based on their 16S rRNA gene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/10406387211065501
Abstract: Globally, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) cause life-threatening, hospital-acquired infections in people, and have been reported recently among veterinary patients. Organisms that produce a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) are one of the most common CPE isolated from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40168-021-01190-y
Abstract: Background In ecology, population density is a key feature of community analysis. Yet in studies of the gut microbiome, bacterial density is rarely reported. Studies of hospitalized patients commonly use rectal swabs for microbiome analysis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.804986
Abstract: Previously, we demonstrated that rectal swabs provide a legitimate alternative to faecal sampling for the assessment of the intestinal microbiota in young piglets. However, we also reported that mucosa-adhered microbial populations were more represented in… read more here.
