In neonatal care, donor human milk (DHM) is used when maternal milk is unavailable or insufficient. In several countries, including Germany, raw (i.e., unpasteurised) DHM is occasionally administered under specific clinical conditions. However, the lack of standardised, evidence-based microbiological…
Abstract Metallo- β -lactamases (MBL) are a threat to public health, since they dramatically limit the use of β -lactams. We report the isolation of a multidrug-resistant Hafnia paralvei strain from urine and a rectal swab of a female patient after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for…
Ultraviolet (UV)-C irradiation is a promising method for microbial eradication on surfaces. Major developments have taken place in UV-C light-emitting diodes (LEDs) technology. In this study, we examined the suitability of UV-C LED-based surface disinfection in hospitals. We tested the efficacy of UV-C…
Weltweit wird eine Zunahme an Antibiotikaresistenzen gegenüber klinisch relevanter Wirkstoffklassen wie z.B. β-Lactamantibiotika verzeichnet. Vor allem die Ausbreitung und Variabilität der β-Lactam-spaltenden Enzyme (β-Lactamasen) bei multi-resistenten, gramnegativen Bakterien ist ein zunehmendes Problem…
