Article Abstract
is a filamentous Gram-positive bacterial producer of the β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid. Antibiotics biosynthesis in the genus is usually triggered by nutritional and environmental perturbations. In this work, a new genome scale metabolic network of was reconstructed and used to study the experimentally observed effect of oxygen and phosphate concentrations on clavulanic acid biosynthesis under high and low shear stress. A flux balance analysis based on experimental evidence revealed that clavulanic acid biosynthetic reaction fluxes are favored in conditions of phosphate limitation, and this is correlated with enhanced activity of central and amino acid metabolism, as well as with enhanced oxygen uptake. In silico and experimental results show a possible slowing down of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) due to reduced oxygen availability in low shear stress conditions. In contrast, high shear stress conditions are connected with high intracellular oxygen availability favoring TCA activity, precursors availability and clavulanic acid (CA) production.

Foodborne illnesses pose a significant public health threat globally, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where the rapid growth of the food service sector has increased the risk of exposure to multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Traditional microbiological methods are often time-consuming and may lack precision, highlighting the need for faster and more accurate diagnostic alternatives. In this study, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was employed for the rapid and precise identification of bacterial contaminants in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, alongside an assessment of their antibiotic resistance profiles.

Infectious mononucleosis (IM), caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), is primarily a self-limiting illness. However, it often mimics bacterial infections, such as bacterial tonsillitis, which can represent a diagnostic pitfall and, consequently, increase the risk of developing complications. The aim of this case report is to highlight the complications resulting from the incorrect differential diagnosis of EBV-induced IM and its clinical significance.

Objectives: To evaluate the environmental impact of prolonged IV antimicrobial courses and identify opportunities for improved antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) practices.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using AMS ward-round data from January 2023 to December 2024 at a tertiary hospital in Dublin, Ireland. Data on IV antimicrobial prescriptions, AMS recommendations for discontinuation or IV to oral switch (IVOS) and prescriber acceptance were reviewed.

The emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing (ESBL-producing ) is a significant public health concern, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia, where reports on the prevalence and characteristics of these resistant strains are scarce. This lack of data hampers effective infection control and antibiotic stewardship efforts. This study is aimed at investigating the prevalence and assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of ESBL-producing isolated from clinical samples of Indonesian patients, thereby contributing to an understanding of antibiotic resistance patterns in this region.

Background: Allergic reactions to beta-lactam antibiotics (βLs) can fade over time, the length of which depends on the effector mechanism and the culprit drug. Most studies investigating this subject included people with immediate reactions (IRs). There is little evidence on (T-cell dependent) non-immediate reactions (NIRs), particularly in children.
