Article Abstract

SUMMARY is divided into two subspecies, subsp. (renamed in 1992; ATCC 49326) and subsp. (ATCC 27840), and fits with the archetype of clinically relevant coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). is a commensal bacterium of the skin in humans, which must be considered an opportunistic pathogen of interest particularly as soon as it is identified in a clinically relevant specimen from an immunocompromised patient. Several studies have highlighted the potential determinants underlying pathogenicity, resistance profiles, and virulence factors. In addition, mobile genetic element acquisitions and mutations contribute to genome adaptation to its environment. Over the past decades, antibiotic resistance has been identified for in almost all the families of the currently available antibiotics and is related to the emergence of multidrug-resistant clones of high clinical significance. The present review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the taxonomic position of among staphylococci, the involvement of this species in human colonization and diseases, the virulence factors supporting its pathogenicity, and the phenotypic and genomic antimicrobial resistance profiles of this species.

Background: A clear understanding of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) is essential for effectively implementing patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) as a performance measure for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Since not achieving MCID and SCB may reflect suboptimal surgical benefit, the primary aim of this study was to use machine learning to predict patients who may not achieve the threshold-based outcomes (i.e.

Background: Identifying suspected anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion (aLVO) strokes during emergency calls could enhance dispatch efficiency, particularly in rural areas. However, data on emergency medical dispatchers' (EMDs) ability to recognize aLVO symptoms remain limited. This simulation study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of identifying side-specific arm paresis, side-specific conjugate eye deviation (CED), and aphasia during emergency calls by instructing layperson callers to perform brief, standardized examination steps.

Background: As populations age, informal caregivers play an increasingly vital role in long-term care, with 80% of care provided by family members in Europe. However, many individuals do not immediately recognize themselves as caregivers, especially in the early stages. This lack of awareness can increase physical and emotional stress and delay access to support services.

Background: Antithrombotic treatment might affect bleeding symptoms, identification of bleeding source and treatment for patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. This study aims to investigate possible differences in initial bleeding symptoms, identified bleeding site and treatment of patients with or without antithrombotic medication admitted for gastrointestinal bleeding.

Methods: All consecutive adult patients primarily admitted for gastrointestinal bleeding at Skane University Hospital between 2018-01-01 and 2019-06-31, were included in this study.
