    Abstract We describe screening results for detection of co-infections with Legionella pneumophila in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. In total, 93 patients were tested; 1 was positive (1.1%) for L. pneumophila serogroup 1. Co-infections with L. pneumophila occur in coronavirus disease patients and should not be missed.

    Abstract Objectives: Many factors influence the outcome of in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST), including endpoint definition, inoculum sizes, time and temperature of incubation, and growth medium used. This European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM) Excellence center driven study investigated multiple colony testing (MCT) of five separate colonies to investigate the prevalence of polyresistance (PR), defined as heterogeneous MICs from a same-species Candida culture irrespective of the underlying resistance mechanism.
    Methods: Candida spp. MCT for fluconazole and anidulafungin was performed by Etest prospectively comprising 405 clinical samples. MCT results were compared to the real-life routine MIC data and PR was assessed. Candida colonies displaying strong PR were selected for genotyping using multilocus sequence typing and random amplified polymorphic DNA assays for C. lusitaniae.
    Results: Candida PR was observed in 33 of 405 samples (8.1%), with higher rates for non-albicans species (26/186, 14%) than for C. albicans (7/219, 3.2%), and for fluconazole than for anidulafungin. MCT detected acquired resistance more often than routine AFST (18/405, 4.5%) and 9 of the 161 investigated blood cultures showed PR (5.6%). Multilocus sequence typing and random amplified polymorphic DNA did not reveal a uniform genetic correlate in strains studied.
    Conclusions: This study shows that Candida single MIC-values obtained in routine diagnostics may be incidental, as they fail to detect PR and resistant subpopulations reliably. The reasons for PR seem to be manifold and should be regarded as a phenotypical expression of genomic variability irrespective of the underlying resistance mechanism, which may help to interpret ambiguous and non-reproducible AFST results.

    Abstract The mechanisms involved in HIV-associated natural killer (NK) cell impairment are still incompletely understood. We observed HIV infection to be associated with increased plasma levels of IFABP, a marker for gut epithelial barrier dysfunction, and LBP, a marker for microbial translocation. Both IFABP and LBP plasma concentrations were inversely correlated with NK cell interferon-γ production, suggesting microbial translocation to modulate NK cell functions. Accordingly, we found lipopolysaccharide to have an indirect inhibitory effect on NK cells via triggering monocytes' transforming growth factor-β production. Taken together, our data suggest increased microbial translocation to be involved in HIV-associated NK cell dysfunction.
