Objectives: is one of the major drivers of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic underlying diseases. Whereas cystic fibrosis (CF) strains have been well studied, non-CF bronchiectasis isolates have received less scientific attention.

Methods: We determined the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of a collection of 100 isolates recovered from a total of 100 non-CF bronchiectasis patients attending a Catalonian hospital.

Objectives: Wild birds are vectors of antimicrobial resistance. Birds living in close contact with humans or other animals, like feral pigeons (Columba livia), might be especially prone to acquire resistance genes such as those encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases.

Methods: Cloacal samples (n = 206) of free-living feral pigeons (C.
