These data identify a possible threat to the parasitological efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine in West Africa, over a decade since it was first introduced on a large scale.A ceftolozane-tazobactam- and ceftazime-avibactam-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate was recovered after treatment (including azithromycin, meropenem, and ceftolozane-tazobactam) from a patient that had developed ventilator-associated pneumonia after COVID-19 infection. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that the strain, belonging to ST274, had acquired a nonsense mutation leading to truncated carbapenem porin OprD (W277X), a 7-bp deletion (nt213Δ7) in NfxB (negative regulator of the efflux pump MexCD-OprJ), and two missense mutations (Q178R and S133G) located within the first large periplasmic loop of MexD. Through the construction of mexD mutants and complementation assays with wild-type nfxB, it was evidenced that resistance to the novel cephalosporin-β-lactamase inhibitor combinations was caused by the modification of MexD substrate specificity.Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bloodstream infections (BSI) are associated with considerable mortality in the hematologic malignancy population. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is the treatment of choice; however, it is not routinely included in empirical treatment regimens, both because of its adverse event profile and the relative rarity of S. maltophilia infections. We developed a risk score to predict hematologic malignancy patients at increased risk for S. maltophilia BSI to guide early (TMP-SMX) therapy. Patients ≥12 years of age admitted to five hospitals between July 2016 and December 2019 were included. Two separate risk scores were developed, (i) a "knowledge-driven" risk score based upon previously identified risk factors in the literature in addition to variables identified by regression analysi
