Worldwide dissemination of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae; How to counteract? Event Description: The increasing trend of antibiotic resistance in Gram negative bacteria worldwide is worrisome since it limits drastically the therapeutic alternatives. In particular, resistance to carbapenems and polymyxins is increasing and panresistant strains are now often isolated, sometimes at the origin of outbreaks.In Enterobacteriaceae, production of carbapenemases represents the main mechanism leading to carbapenem resistance. Among the different types of carbapenemases, the metallo--lactamases (MBLs) are of great concern in enteric bacteria and non-fermenters, being reported worldwide. The most recent MBL corresponds to NDM-1 and its derivatives, being mainly found in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Most of those isolates have been recovered from patients transferred from or having a link with the Indian subcontinent, and to a lesser extend the Balkan countries, both areas being now considered as endemic. Very threatening is also the current global emergence of K. pneumoniae isolates producing the carbapenemase KPC. It is noteworthy that one specific KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae clone is responsible for the worldwide dissemination of that resistance trait. Regarding resistance to polymyxins, the recent identification of a plasmid-mediated resistance mechanism (MCR-1 enzyme) adds to the threat. We now know that this resistance trait may be found worldwide, mainly in E. coli isolates, and both in human and animal isolates. The antibiotic selective pressure existing in veterinary medicine has been proven to be a source of that resistance determinant. To counteract the further dissemination of those threatening resistance determinants, use of reliable rapid diagnostic tests is crucial. It may prevent further spread by implementing adequate infection control measures in hospital settings. In addition, we are urgently needing new therapeutical approaches, and in particular development of new antibiotics and beta-lactamase inhibitors.

#DidYouKnow the EyeWriter is a low-cost eye tracking system that uses inexpensive cameras and an open-source computer vision software to help patients with neuromuscular syndromes to communicate with others by writing or drawing on the screen?

To do so, it tracks the wearer’s eye movement, converting it into lines to be displayed. The EyeWriter was created by Tony “Tempt” Quan, a Los Angeles graffiti artist who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) in 2003.
