Ceftazidime–avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is an active antibiotic combination of a β-lactam–β-lactamase inhibitor against carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales. Reports resistance to CAZ-AVI other than metallo-β-lactamases have increased in recent years. The aim this study was analyze KPC-Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) isolates resistant from the intestinal carriage hospitalized elderly patients Italy, Fe...

In a mobile computing system, caching data items at the mobile clients is important to reduce the data access delay in a unreliable and low bandwidth mobile network. However, efficient methods must be used to ensure the coherence between the cached items and the data items at the database server. In this paper, by exploring the real-time properties of the data items, we propose a cache invalida...

Spatially continuous predictions of seabed hardness are important baseline environmental information for sustainable management of Australia's marine jurisdiction. Seabed hardness is often inferred from multibeam backscatter data with unknown accuracy and can be inferred from underwater video footage at limited locations. In this study, we classified the seabed into four classes based on two ne...

Analyzing N&B using AVI movies I converted the AVI movie (a collection of bitmaps) to a format that SimFCS can read. This is done reading the movie using ImageJ and then saving the file as raw data. The raw data shows that the movie is 150x150 pixels and contains 900 frames. I read the raw data using the following screen and analyze a part of it in the 128x128 format. There is a fast initial bl...

Abstract Background Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is a β-lactam/non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor combination that can inhibit class A, C, and some D β-lactamases. Resistance caused by these β-lactamases often results in multidrug-resistance (MDR). This study evaluated the vitro activity of CAZ-AVI comparators against MDR Enterobacterales Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates collected from patien...

The emergence of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPCs), β-lactamases that inactivate "last-line" antibiotics such as imipenem, represents a major challenge to contemporary antibiotic therapies. The combination of ceftazidime (CAZ) and avibactam (AVI), a potent β-lactamase inhibitor, represents an attempt to overcome this formidable threat and to restore the efficacy of the antibiotic agai...

Abstract Background P. aeruginosa (PSA) is one of the most common Gram-negative organisms causing infections in hospitalized patients. Prompt administration an effective antimicrobial crucial for patients with systemic PSA infection. We evaluated vitro activity ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), ceftolozane-tazobactam (C-T), meropenem-vaborbactam (MEM-VAB), imipenem-relebactam (IMI-REL), and many...

BACKGROUND A blood pressure (BP) monitoring system (PASESA(®)) can be used to easily analyze the characteristics of central and peripheral arteries during the measurement of brachial BP. METHODS We enrolled 108 consecutive patients (M/F = 86/22, age 70 ± 10 years) who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) due to suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in whom we could measure various parameter...
