Multidrug-Resistant Candida haemulonii and C. auris, Tel Aviv, Israel

Candida auris and C. haemulonii are closely related, multidrug-resistant emerging fungal pathogens that are not readily distinguishable with phenotypic assays. We studied C. auris and C. haemulonii clinical isolates from 2 hospitals in central Israel. C. auris was isolated in 5 patients with nosocomial bloodstream infection, and C. haemulonii was found as a colonizer of leg wounds at a peripher...

We all have strong intuitions about a connection between Coordination and the notion of "equivalence" (Hebrew: , תוליקש). This is reflected by the fact that researchers often use terms like ‘parallelism’, ‘similarity’, or ‘symmetry’ when providing structural definitions of coordinated constructions (e.g., Azar 1977; Haspelmath, 2007; Van Valin 1990). Certain questions, such as the following, re...

Detection of aac(6')-Ib-cr in KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from Tel Aviv, Israel.

OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the occurrence and characteristics of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes in KPC-producing (KPC-P) Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) isolates in Tel Aviv Medical Center, Israel. METHODS Forty-seven KPC-P Kpn isolates were studied. Antibiotic susceptibilities were determined by Vitek 2, Etest or agar dilution. Beta-lactamases and PMQR determinants were ...
