In a 12-year single-center quasi-experimental study, a switch from ciprofloxacin to ceftriaxone prophylaxis for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy procedures was associated with a significant reduction in 30-day postprocedure urinary tract infection, urinary tract infection-related hospitalizations, antibiotic prescriptions, and isolation of fluoroquinolone-resistant organisms from urine or blood cultures.

Global surveillance of reveals dynamic evolutionary forces shaping pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), yet the integration of serotyping, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and phenotypic landscapes remains unexplored. Here, we dissect 935 isolates, collected from both clinical and food chain sources, through integrated genomics and phenomics to resolve population structure, spatiotemporal dynamics, and evolutionary drivers.

Unlabelled: The bactericidal nature of obligately lytic bacterial viruses (phages) is of increasing interest for the treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections, often alongside antibiotics. By contrast, temperate phages are largely ignored due to their ability to lie dormant within the bacterial host. However, these phages often undergo a lytic cycle.
