“…[12][13][14] In our hospital, a total of 4 blood specimens from 4 patients were culture positive for R. pickettii within 1 week. We conducted clinical epidemiological and microbiological investigations to identify possible sources of infection and to block the route of infection to end the outbreak.…”

“…As an opportunist, P. aeruginosa causes acute life-threatening infections or chronic infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (Johansen 1996;Jovic et al 2014;Tan et al 2014), severe burns (Biswal et al 2014;Glik et al 2012;Pruitt et al 1998), or certain cancers (Park et al 2014Samonis et al 2014;Velasco et al 1997) and in patients who are immunosuppressed (Benoudiba et al 2011;Caldas et al 2012;Driscoll et al 2007). Treatment of these infections has become more difficult because P. aeruginosa is one of the most antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Bassetti et al 2014;Davies 1996;Robinson 1997;Vincenti et al 2014). Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies against infections caused by P. aeruginosa.…”

“…In view of the fact, that drinking water is one of the main sources of potable water, its highest quality should be provided regardless of other factors. This means that the occurrence of ARGs should be investigated in water supply systems, as the intake of potable water containing these genes could lead to the transfer of resistance to human pathogenic strains [23][24][25][26][27]. Figueira et al claimed that Enterobacteriaceae are 'vehicles' of resistance in drinking water [28].…”
