Article Abstract
Carbapenemase-producing-Serratia marcescens isolates, although infrequent, are considered important nosocomial pathogens due to their intrinsic resistance to polymyxins, which limits therapeutic options. We describe a nosocomial outbreak of SME-4-producing S. marcescens in Buenos Aires city which, in our knowledge, represents the first one in South America.

Multi-omics investigation reveals unique markers in compared to closely related species.

Department of Epidemiology and Ecology of Antimicrobial Resistance, Helmholtz Institute for One Health, Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research HZI, Greifswald, Germany.
Introduction: The (KP) species complex (KpSC) comprises KP as the predominant species, and six other taxa including two subspecies each of var (KV) and (KQ), all capable of causing clinical infections and often challenging to differentiate. Among these, KP is by far the most clinically significant, with the emergence of multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent strains leading to severe infections and limited treatment options, underscoring the need to understand the genomic features of KP.
Methods: This study compared globally disseminated KP lineages with less abundant KV strains in synthetic human urine (SHU) across multiple omics levels to identify characteristics differentiating these closely related species.

Background: Species of the (Bcc) have been implicated in multiple nosocomial outbreaks linked to contaminated water-based products, including liquid soaps, mouthwash, and other non-alcoholic aqueous solutions.
Objective: We describe two substantial healthcare-associated outbreaks of Bcc ( and ) in the United Kingdom and Ireland associated with contaminated products. We highlight the challenges during investigation and mitigation, and provide recommendations.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic disease with a high prevalence and disability rate. Alterations in lower limb alignment and reduction in lower limb muscle strength are important factors in the progression of KOA. Although pain is the main reason for KOA patients to seek medical treatment, the presence or absence of joint deformity is one of the crucial factors influencing the prognosis and recurrence of the disease.

Purpose: To describe the risk management at a university eye hospital after two outbreaks of nosocomial endophthalmitis cases after pars plana vitrectomy.
Methods: In two series of postoperative endophthalmitis cases after in-house vitrectomy, the basic workflows in direct patient care were evaluated with regard to patient safety. Hygienic microbiological environmental examinations were performed on relevant materials and surfaces.
