    Abstract Objectives: Helicobacter cinaedi
    Case presentation: A 49-year-old patient with ulcerative colitis diagnosed in 1992, who presented to the ED of our hospital with fever and testicular complaints. The patient was discharged with a diagnosis of left-sided acute epididymitis, which was probably sexually transmitted. At the ED, he was administered intravenous Ceftriaxone and discharged with a prescription of doxycycline for 10 days, with a good progress. Aerobic cultures were positive at three days from collection. Gram staining showed Gram-negative, corkscrew-shaped bacteria. The analysis of the blood culture bottles, and the colonies grown in Campylosel agar incubated in microaerophilic conditions at 42 °C were identified as
    Conclusions: Direct analysis of the blood culture bottle on the Maldi-TOF system allowed for the identification of the etiology of the bacteremia since

    Abstract Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes chronic gastric inflammation, which can lead to gastric neoplasia. Therefore, early diagnosis of H. pylori infection is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of complications. The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the STANDARD™ F H. pylori Ag FIA stool antigen test (SD Biosensor) with the LIAISON® Meridian H. pylori SA for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. A total of 133 stool samples from patients with suspected H. pylori infection were compared using the STANDARD™ F H. pylori Ag FIA stool antigen test (SD Biosensor), based on lateral flow assay, with the LIAISON® Meridian H. pylori SA. Of the 45 positive samples with LIAISON, 44 were also positive while 1 was negative in the STANDARD™ antigen test. However, this discrepant sample showed a chemiluminescence index of 1.18, very close to the cut-off point of 1. On the other hand, of 88 negative samples obtained with LIAISON, 83 were negative and 5 were positive in the STANDARD™ antigen test. Moreover, STANDARD™ F H. pylori Ag FIA assay has shown a sensitivity of 97.8% (95% CI: 88.2-99.9), a specificity of 94.3% (95% CI: 87.2-98.1), a PPV of 83.9% (95% CI: 68.9-92.4) and a NPV of 99.3% ((95% CI: 95.3-99.9). In conclusion, the STANDARD™ F H. pylori Ag FIA (SD Biosensor) on the STANDARD™ F2400 analyser is a highly sensitive, specific and suitable assay for the detection of H. pylori in stool samples.

    Abstract Background: In Spain, the risk of imported malaria has increased in recent years due to the rise in international travel and migration. Little is known about the knowledge, information sources, clinical practice, and specific needs of primary care physicians (PCPs) concerning malaria despite the pivotal role played by these professionals in managing the health of tourists. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of PCPs in Spain regarding malaria.
    Methods: This research analyses data from (1) a cross-sectional nationwide survey assessing the knowledge and attitudes of PCPs regarding malaria, and (2) a retrospective review of 373 malaria cases appearing in primary care medical records (PCMRs) in the Madrid area over the past 15 years to determine how cases were documented, managed, or characterized in the primary care setting.
    Results: The survey findings reveal a modest level of self-perceived familiarity with malaria (221/360, 57.6%), even though 32.8% of the practitioners reported having delivered care for confirmed or suspected cases of the disease, these practitioners had greater knowledge of malaria (80.4%) compared to physicians who reported not having delivered care for malaria (19.6%, p < 0.001). Ten percent of the survey participants did not know the name of the mosquito that transmits malaria, and only 40.7% would promptly request malaria testing for a traveller with symptoms after a trip to an endemic area. Responses provided by younger PCPs varied to a greater extent than those of their more experienced colleagues regarding prevention practices and patient management. A review of PCMRs showed that only 65% of all patients were recorded as such. Among those registered, only 40.3% had a documented malaria episode, and of those, only 16.6% received proper follow-up. Only 23.7% of the patients with a PCMR had a record that specifically indicated travel to an endemic country or travel classified as visiting friends and relatives (VFR).
    Conclusions: The findings of this study underscore the critical role of PCPs in the field of travel medicine, particularly given the increase in imported malaria cases. These results highlight the need for targeted training in travel medicine and the need to ensure optimal patient education in care settings.

    Abstract A cross-sectional study of microorganisms isolated from mid-stream urine samples obtained from 139 patients with suspected urinary tract infection (UTI) who presented leukocyturia was conducted from April to June 2019 at Saint Joseph Kitgum Hospital (Uganda). All microorganisms were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in a laboratory in Spain. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined on site using the disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer test) and these results were subsequently compared with those obtained in Spain using the Becton Dickinson Phoenix M50 device. The overall prevalence of UTI with bacterial growth was 64.0% (

    Abstract Human intestinal spirochetosis (HIS) can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, although asymptomatic infections have been described. Individuals from low-income countries, people living with HIV, and men who have sex with men (MSM) show increased risk. A retrospective review of all patients diagnosed with HIS (n = 165) between January 2013 and October 2020 at a tertiary hospital in Madrid, Spain, was performed to assess risk factors for symptomatic HIS, symptoms, and response to treatment. Most patients were male (n = 156; 94.5%), 86.7% were MSM, and 23.5% practiced chemsex, of whom most were symptomatic (

    Abstract Microsporidia are fungi-related eukaryotic intracellular parasites that opportunistically infect immunocompromised individuals such as those infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Among them, Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon spp. are the most clinically relevant species. We investigated the occurrence and genetic diversity of microsporidial and protist infections in mostly immunocompetent HIV-positive patients in Madrid, Spain. A structured questionnaire was used to retrieve data on factors potentially associated with an increased risk of infection, including sexual attitudes and sex-risk behaviour. Faecal samples (n = 96) from 81 HIV-positive patients were collected and analysed by molecular (PCR and Sanger sequencing) methods. Two microsporidial pathogens were detected: Ent. bieneusi (2.5%, 95% CI: 0.3-8.6) and Enc.intestinalis (4.9%, 95% CI: 1.4-12.2). The two Ent. bieneusi isolates were identified as zoonotic genotype A. Among protists, Entamoeba dispar was the species most prevalently found (33.3%, 95% CI: 23.2-44.7), followed by Blastocystis spp. (19.8%, 95% CI: 11.7-30.1), Giardia duodenalis (13.6%, 95% CI: 7.0-23.0), and Cryptosporidium spp. and Entamoeba histolytica (2.5%, 95% CI: 0.3-8.6 each). Cyclospora cayetanensis and Cystoisospora belli were not detected. Subtypes ST1 (70.6%, 12/17) and ST3 (29.4%, 5/17) were identified within Blastocystis sp., sub-assemblages AII and BIII (50%, 1/2 each) within G. duodenalis, and Cry. parvum and canine-adapted Cry. canis (50%, 1/2 each) within Cryptosporidium spp. Microsporidial and protist parasites were frequent in well-controlled, mostly immunocompetent HIV-positive patients and should be included in diagnostic algorithms when diarrhoea is present.

    Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of various extracts from two arctic berries, cloudberry (
    Results: All berry extracts prevented biofilm development of the three MRSA strains, except the raspberry press cake hydrothermal extract, which produced a diminished anti-staphylococcal effect.
    Discussion: The studied arctic berry extracts can be used as a treatment for a mature MRSA biofilm, however some limitations in their use exist.
