Bloodstream infections due to yeast are associated with a high mortality rate. There is a lack of data that evaluate the real-world sensitivity of a rapid detection system for bloodstream infections due to yeast or the impact of these results on antimicrobial stewardship. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of an ePlex panel (BCID-FP) for rapid detection of yeast from a positive blood culture bottle and to evaluate the impact of these rapid results on antifungal escalation or de-escalation.

Since prior reports have linked only with minor morbidities, the organism previously has not been considered to be a cause of serious puerperal infections.

- The study aimed to analyze clinical characteristics and antibiotic resistance patterns of neonates with E. coli bacteremia, including genetic relatedness and virulence traits of the isolates.
- A total of 24 newborns were examined, revealing high rates of antibiotic resistance, particularly against ampicillin (75%) and other common treatments, with certain genetic types (ST95 and ST131) being more prevalent.
- The presence of virulence factors, like the K1 capsule, was noted in half of the isolates, with implications for increased invasiveness in very young infants; hence, ongoing monitoring for resistance and virulence in E. coli is essential.
