Nationwide data from Brazil (2008–2024) show rising hospitalizations for congenital infections, driven mainly by congenital syphilis, with marked regional disparities. Findings highlight ongoing gaps in prenatal care, surveillance, and maternal–child health services. doi.org/10.1017/ash....

Infectious disease care is multidisciplinary, but how is the workforce distributed? A case study of Japan reveals major disparity (Gini 0.28–0.46). Only 56% of medical areas simultaneously comprise ID physicians, PharmD and nurses. Tailored regional policies are imperative. doi.org/10.1017/ash....

We conducted a retrospective cohort study, to identify risk factors of post urological infections in patients with negative urine culture screening. We highlighted CKD stage III-V, and Revised Cardiac Risk Index (preoperative) > 2, as novel risks for postoperative infections. doi.org/10.1017/ash....

Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella is historically linked to blaCTX-M-15 gene and sexual transmission. We describe a novel XDR Shigella carrying blaDHA-1 gene from two unrelated cases with unknown transmission route, signaling broader community spread in Los Angeles. doi.org/10.1017/ash....

This review discusses optimal ABX management strategies for NSTIs, supporting shorter, source-control-guided ABX durations vs fixed durations, evaluating linezolid as an adjunctive anti-toxin ABX and its de-escalation strategy, and advocating for IV-to-oral transitions. doi.org/10.1017/ash....

A ceftriaxone safety alert prompted a review of significant events in relation to timing of cephalosporin administrations across a large health system. We found a low rate of significant ceftriaxone-related adverse events with a similar incidence as other cephalosporins. doi.org/10.1017/ash....

In a retrospective review of 47 diabetic foot infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated in only 10.6% of infections. Despite this, 83% of patients received empiric antibiotic coverage with an antipseudomonal agents. Potential stewardship target? 🤔 doi.org/10.1017/ash....
