The commercial multi-pathogen probe-based real-time FOR SeptiFast (SF) was evaluated as a rapid and complementing tool for the microbiological diagnosis of bloodstream infections (BSIs) in a series of 138 matched blood samples from 65 patients with bacteraemia, hospitalized in an intensive care unit, when antibiotics had already been administered. SF was positive in 32.6% of the samples, whereas blood culture (BC) was positive in 21.7% (P<0.05). SF identified more pathogens (11 versus 5; specificity, 90.7%) and reduced the time of aetiological diagnosis, with a mean of 16.3 versus 55.4 h needed for BC (P<0.05). SF enabled appropriate pathogen-oriented therapy in 72% (36/50) of the BSI group of patients on the basis of epidemiological data. According to our data, the use of SF provided important added value to BC, in terms of earlier aetiological diagnosis of BSIs, enabling pathogen-oriented therapy in patients receiving empirical antibiotic treatment.

Different Modulatory Effects of Four Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clones on MG-63 Osteoblast-Like Cells

Nicolo Musso, Giuseppe Caruso, Dafne Bongiorno, Margherita Grasso, Dalida A. Bivona, Floriana Campanile, Filippo Caraci, Stefania Stefani

Summary: In this study, different Staphylococcus aureus strains were tested for their ability to modulate cell viability in osteoblast-like cells. Results showed that certain strains were able to internalize and persist in the cells, causing a decrease in cell viability. Additionally, differences in intracellular behavior and impact on cell functions related to inflammation, metabolism, and oxidative stress were observed among the tested strains.

Summary: This study characterized two biofilm-producing M1 and M2 ST398 MSSA strains causing septic knee arthritis, revealing a new human-adapted lineage with unique antibiotic resistance and adhesive properties. The strains, susceptible to certain antibiotics but resistant to others, exhibited a high ability to adhere to the host's extracellular matrix, potentially causing septic knee arthritis.

Staphylococcus aureus Internalization in Osteoblast Cells: Mechanisms, Interactions and Biochemical Processes. What Did We Learn from Experimental Models?

Stefano Stracquadanio, Nicolo Musso, Angelita Costantino, Lorenzo Mattia Lazzaro, Stefania Stefani, Dafne Bongiorno

Summary: Bacterial internalization is a strategy used by non-intracellular microorganisms to evade the host immune system and survive in the human body. Staphylococcus aureus interacts with and infects osteoblasts, leading to osteomyelitis and infections. The MG-63 osteoblastic cell line is the best traditional model for studying these interactions, although more representative 3D models have also been investigated.

Summary: This study reports on a one-year case-control study involving 26 CF patients with at least one F508de1 mutation. The triple combination therapy targeting CFTR provided significant clinical benefits and improved patients' quality of life. Further investigations are needed to fully understand the microbiological respiratory implications and long-term advantages of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor treatment.

Acinetobacter baumannii and Cefiderocol, between Cidality and Adaptability

Stefano Stracquadanio, Carmelo Bonomo, Andrea Marino, Dafne Bongiorno, Grete Francesca Privitera, Dalida Angela Bivona, Alessia Mirabile, Paolo Giuseppe Bonacci, Stefania Stefani

Summary: This study investigates the interactions between a novel cephalosporin called cefiderocol (FDC) and different strains of Acinetobacter baumannii with varying susceptibilities to the drug. The results show diverse susceptibility profiles and the possibility of non-susceptible phenotypes at high drug concentrations. Combination therapy could potentially eliminate drug-adapted subpopulations and restore full activity of FDC.

Role of transcriptomic and genomic analyses in improving the comprehension of cefiderocol activity in Acinetobacter baumannii

Summary: The mechanisms of action and resistance of cefiderocol (FDC) in Acinetobacter baumannii are not fully understood. This study investigates the genomic and transcriptomic features of different A. baumannii strains with varying FDC susceptibility to determine the role of iron transport systems in FDC uptake. Gene expression analysis reveals up-regulation of acinetobactin and baumannoferrin genes under iron depletion and down-regulation under high iron concentrations. Overall, FDC activates the TonB energy transduction system and baumannoferrin is more stimulated by FDC in an iron-depleted medium.
