ABSTRACT
Fungal peritonitis is frequent on peritoneal dialysis, with rare cases by Exophiala dermatitidis. A 25-month-old female admitted to the pediatric ICU with acute renal failure was submitted to peritoneal dialysis. After 10 days patient presented fever. Peritoneal fluid culture showed yeast colonies molecularly identified as E. dermatitidis. Patient was treated with voriconazole and hemodialysis. The literature was reviewed. Disseminated infections are frequently fatal, but appropriate diagnose and therapeutic led to cure in this case.
ABSTRACT
We report 26 human isolates of mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli, most of them (65.4%) with a polymyxin B MIC of 2â¯mg/L. Seventeen out of the 24 mcr-1-positive E. coli proved to be nonclonal by rep-PCR which strengthens the hypothesis of environmental or animal origin of these strains and reinforces the one health context of antimicrobial resistance.
