    Abstract Background: Oligella is an uncommon Gram-negative coccobacillus that was first thought to belong to the urogenital tract. The genus Oligella comprises two species that were recovered from various samples worldwide.
    Methods: We perform a systematic review focusing on Oligella microbiological characteristics, habitat, role in Human microbiome and infection, and antimicrobial susceptibility.
    Results: In humans, Oligella is mainly found as part of the microbiome of individuals with predisposing conditions. Oligella were also associated with invasive infections in patients with underlying diseases. Nevertheless, their prevalence remains to determine. Oligella culture requires up to 48 h on agar media in vitro, while urinary samples are usually incubated for 24 h. Consequently, microbiologists should be prompt to prolong the incubation of agar media when the direct examination showed Gram-negative coccobacilli. Oligella is accurately identified using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, but biochemical methods often provided inconsistent results. Specific guidelines for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Oligella lack but the incubation could require up to 48 h of incubation. In contrast to O. urethralis, which is susceptible to third-generation cephalosporin, O. ureolytica is likely resistant to numerous antimicrobials. Genectic determinants of resistance were identified for beta-lactams and aminoglycosides.
    Conclusion: Oligella is an uncommon pathogen that can be underrecognized. Microbiologists should be prompt to prolong the incubation of agar media plated with urines when the direct examination showed Gram-negative coccobacilli. Carbapenems should probably be given for the empirical treatment.

    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 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 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.
