    Abstract Objectives: To describe the clinical and microbiological features of a case of community-acquired infection by KPC-producing K. pneumoniae (KPCKP) resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ-AVI).
    Methods: Identification of microorganisms was performed with MALDI Biotyper CA System (BrukerDaltonics, Madrid, Spain). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using Sensitre EURGNCOL panels (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madrid, Spain) and gradient strips (Etest, bioMérieux, Madrid, Spain) in the case of CAZ-AVI, using EUCAST breakpoints for interpretation. Whole genome sequencing of blood culture and rectal swab isolates was performed using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing system, with 2 × 150-bp paired-end reads (Illumina, Inc.).
    Results: Blood culture and rectal swab KPCKP isolates were resistant to carbapenems and to CAZ-AVI. The blood culture isolate showed susceptibility to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), but the rectal swab culture isolate was resistant to this antibiotic. Both isolates belonged to clonal lineage ST512, harboured a single copy of bla
    Conclusions: Resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam is an emerging nosocomial problem. This case shows that CAZ-AVI-resistant KPCKP strains may disseminate into the community and cause serious infections.

    Abstract The appearance of colony growth sectors on solid medium plates has been described in many fungi. Although the molecular bases of this phenomenon remain largely unknown, possible relationships with genetic or epigenetic changes have been reported. Here we present a method to quantify the frequency of colony growth sectors in Fusarium oxysporum, which can be used to compare different fungal strains and to infer their genetic instability.

    Abstract In the vascular wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, the mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) Fmk1 is essential for plant infection. The mucin‐like membrane protein Msb2 regulates a subset of Fmk1‐dependent functions. Here, we examined the role of the tetraspan transmembrane protein Sho1 as an additional regulator of the Fmk1 pathway and determined its genetic interaction with Msb2. Targeted Δsho1 mutants were generated in wild‐type and Δmsb2 backgrounds to test possible interactions between the two genes. The mutants were examined for hyphal growth under different stress conditions, phosphorylation of the MAPK Fmk1 and an array of Fmk1‐dependent virulence functions. Similar to Msb2, Sho1 was required for the activation of Fmk1 phosphorylation, as well as Fmk1‐dependent gene expression and invasive growth functions, including extracellular pectinolytic activity, cellophane penetration, plant tissue colonization and virulence on tomato plants. Δsho1 mutants were hypersensitive to the cell wall‐perturbing compound Calcofluor White, and this phenotype was exacerbated in the Δmsb2 Δsho1 double mutant. These results highlight that Sho1 and Msb2 have partially overlapping functions upstream of the Fmk1 MAPK cascade, to promote invasive growth and plant infection, as well as cell wall integrity, in F. oxysporum.

    Abstract Ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) is used to treat infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp). Resistance to CZA is commonly related to point mutations in the blaKPC gene. Here we describe the in vivo emergence of CZA resistance in clinical isolates of KPC-Kp from four patients treated with this combination therapy. Four pre-therapy and five post-therapy KPC-Kp isolates were examined. Antibiogram (microdilution and gradient strips) and whole-genome sequencing were performed. The role of KPC mutations was validated by cloning blaKPC genes into competent Escherichia coli. All KPC-Kp isolates recovered before treatment with CZA were susceptible to CZA and produced KPC-3. Five KPC-Kp isolates recovered after treatment were resistant to this combination. Three post-therapy isolates from two patients produced KPC-31 (D179Y mutation). Additionally, we identified the novel substitution LN169–170H (KPC-94) in one isolate, and the combination of two independently described mutations, D179Y and A172T (KPC-95), in another isolate. All KPC-Kp isolates belonged to sequence type 512 (ST512). All CZA-resistant isolates with blaKPC variants had restoration of carbapenem susceptibility. In conclusion, resistance to CZA was related to blaKPC mutations, including the new KPC-94 and KPC-95 alleles, which do not cause carbapenem resistance.

    Abstract Introduction: Infections caused by carbapenemase-producing
    Methods and analysis: The KAPEDIS trial is a single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2, superiority clinical trial of FMT for eradication of intestinal colonisation by KPC-Kp. One hundred and twenty patients with rectal colonisation by KPC-Kp will be randomised 1:1 to receive encapsulated lyophilised FMT or placebo. The primary outcome is KPC-Kp eradication at 30 days. Secondary outcomes are: (1) frequency of adverse events; (2) changes in KPC-Kp relative load within the intestinal microbiota at 7, 30 and 90 days, estimated by real-time quantitative PCR analysis of rectal swab samples and (3) rates of persistent eradication, KPC-Kp infection and crude mortality at 90 days. Participants will be monitored for adverse effects throughout the intervention.
    Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval was obtained from Reina Sofía University Hospital Institutional Review Board (approval reference number: 2019-003808-13). Trial results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and disseminated at national and international conferences.
    Trial registration number: NCT04760665.

    Abstract Colonization by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) is associated with the risk of developing KPC-Kp infection. The impact of the time elapsed since a patient becomes colonized on this risk is not well known. An observational, prospective, longitudinal cohort study of colonized patients undergoing active rectal culture screening to rule out KPC-Kp colonization (July 2012 to November 2017). Patients with a positive culture at inclusion (colonized at start of follow-up) and those with a negative culture at inclusion who became colonized within 90 days (colonized during follow-up) were included in the analysis. CART analysis was used to dichotomize variables according to their association with infection. Kaplan-Meier infection-free survival curves and the log-rank test were used for group comparisons. Logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with KPC-Kp infection. Among 1310 patients included, 166 were colonized at the end of follow-up. Forty-seven out of 118 patients colonized at start of follow-up developed infection (39.8%) versus 31 out of 48 patients colonized during follow-up (64.6%;
