    Abstract Background: Urogenital Mollicutes, that is, Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma spp., can colonize the urogenital tract. While urogenital colonization is frequent, infections are rare but should not be missed. Furthermore, extragenital infections are even rarer. Over the past years, they have been increasingly documented as a cause of hyperammonemia syndrome (HS) and post-surgical infections. We review the literature on studies focused on post-surgical infections and HS involving urogenital Mollicutes after thoracic surgery including lung (LTR) and heart (HTR) transplantation.
    Methods: A systematic review was performed by searching PubMed/Medline case reports, case series, cohort studies, and clinical trials. Cases of infections and HS by urogenital Mollicutes after HTR and LTR transplantations were reported.
    Results: Overall, urogenital Mollicutes were associated with 15 HS, 31 infections in HTR and LTR, and 18 post-thoracic surgical infections in another context. Post-surgical infections were reported in all contexts. They were mainly due to M hominis, the only species that could cultivate on standard enriched agar forming pinpoint colonies after 3-5 days of incubation. Microbiologists should be prompted to pinpoint colonies even if the examination of Gram-staining is negative. The patients' management required surgical treatment and antimicrobials, almost always tetracyclines and/or fluoroquinolones. Conversely, HS occurred almost exclusively in bilateral LTR and is more likely due to Ureaplasma spp. As Ureaplasma spp. do not cultivate on standard media, the microbiological diagnosis was performed using molecular methods.
    Conclusions: Infections involving urogenital Mollicute should be considered in LTR with HS. The overall rate of mortality is high and might be due in part to delay in etiologic diagnosis. Post-surgical infections were reported in all contexts. The route of contamination with Mollicutes remains unknown in HTR and non-transplant surgery, but evidence of transmission from donors has been documented for LTR.

    Abstract We report a clinical picture of a mowed meadow pattern of the tongue in a 29-year-old sexually active man who has sex with men. The painful lesions also called "Plaques en prairie fauchée", occur in the context of the discovery of a postive HIV serology. The diagnosis of secondary syphilis was confirmed by a positive syphilis serology (nontreponemal RPR test title of 64) and a positive

    Abstract We assess the performances of the Alinity M STI assay (Abbott Molecular) in comparison to the Xpert CT/NG assay (Cepheid). We first retrospectively used a collection of 70 frozen samples of which 33, 31, and 6 were positives for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoea (NG), and both micro-organisms respectively. The Alinity M STI and the Xpert CT/NG results were in accordance for all. The mean difference in cycle threshold values between the Xpert CT/NG and the Alinity M STI were -1.6 and 0.0 for CT and NG respectively. Then 214 fresh samples collected from 121 patients were prospectively tested with both instruments. Anal swabs, throat swabs, vaginal swabs, and urines accounted each for about 25%. Seven (3.2%) samples of which 5 anal swabs, provided inconclusive results with the Alinity M STI. In conclusion, the Alinity M STI is an accurate device for the microbiological diagnosis of NG and CT infections.

    Abstract The respiratory tract of lung transplant recipients (LTR) is likely to be colonized with non-fermentative Gram-negative rods. As a consequence of the improvements in molecular sequencing and taxonomy, an increasing number of bacterial species have been described.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly impacted healthcare settings. We assess changes in blood culture practices and results during the COVID-19 era. All blood culture vials processed between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2020, by 3 clinical laboratories were included. A baseline period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019, was compared to the year 2020. COVID-19 "waves" were defined as follows: "wave 1" from March 16 to May 10, 2020, and "wave 2" from October 29 to December 14, 2020. A mean of 143.5 and 158.6 vials per day were processed in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Up to 300 and 220 vials per day were processed during waves 1 and 2. Among positive vials, a higher rate of contaminant was noticed during wave 1 (55.9% vs 45.0%; P < 0.0001) and interwave (46.0% vs 38.6%; P < 0.0001) in comparison to previous years. The prevalence of contaminants returned to the baseline level during wave 2. Streptococcus pneumonia prevalence fell in 2020 in comparison to the baseline (0.4% vs 1.4%; P < 0.0001). The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with an increase in the number of blood culture vials processed, the rate of contaminants, and a fall in the number of pneumococcal bloodstream infections.

    Abstract The combination of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) and aztreonam (ATM) is used to treat MBL-producing Enterobacterales-related infections. The new combination aztreonam-avibactam (AZA) is currently in development. We compared results obtained with the new MIC test strip (MTS) AZA (Liofilchem) with broth microdilution method (BMD) on 41 MBL-producing Enterobacterales from 41 clinical samples. The MTS AZA was also compared to combination testing method using CAZ-AVI and ATM strips. Compared to BMD, categorical agreement (CA) was 100%. Compared with combination testing method, CA was 97.6%. The MTS AZA can be used to determine MICs levels of AZA or CAZ-AVI/ATM combinations.
