Streptogramins for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens

Sophie Reissier, Vincent Cattoir

Summary: Streptogramins, especially pristinamycin, can be considered as potential alternatives for the treatment of Gram-positive infections due to their rapid bactericidal activity and low prevalence of resistance among clinical isolates. Despite the effectiveness of quinupristin-dalfopristin in treating severe Gram-positive bacterial infections demonstrated in several studies, its clinical use remains limited mainly due to poor tolerance.

Hypervariable-Locus Melting Typing: a Novel Approach for More Effective High-Resolution Melting-Based Typing, Suitable for Large Microbiological Surveillance Programs

Matteo Perini, Aurora Piazza, Simona Panelli, Stella Papaleo, Alessandro Alvaro, Francesca Vailati, Marta Corbella, Francesca Saluzzo, Floriana Gona, Daniele Castelli, Claudio Farina, Piero Marone, Daniela Maria Cirillo, Annalisa Cavallero, Gian Vincenzo Zuccotti, Francesco Comandatore

Summary: Pathogen typing is important for detecting high-risk clones and limiting their spread in hospital settings. However, commonly used typing methods are expensive or time-consuming, limiting their application in real-time surveillance. High-resolution melting (HRM) is a cost-effective and fast method for pathogen typing, but developing highly discriminatory protocols is challenging. In this study, we present a novel approach called hypervariable-locus melting typing (HLMT), which allows the development of more effective and portable typing protocols. HLMT distinguished high-risk clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae with a sensitivity comparable to other typing methods. It is a fast and scalable approach suitable for real-time surveillance in hospitals.
