Clinical Microbiology and Infection
@cmijournal.bsky.social
CMI, the official publication of ESCMID, is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal publishing applied and basic research in the field of clinical microbiology and infectious diseases #IDSky #MicroSky https://www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/
A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing shorter-course (2∼5 days) vs. longer-course (≥7 days) antibiotic therapy for children with acute uncomplicated UTIs: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119... #IDSky #clinmicro #MedSky

This article investigates the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with early vs. late diagnosis of infectious encephalitis in Denmark: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...
In honor of #PeerReviewWeek we would like to thank our peer reviewers for their important and insightful contributions to CMI. We deeply value the time, effort and expertise that goes into writing each peer-review.
Development of new antifungal agents is challenging because of limited target sites, emergence of resistance, and adverse toxicity profiles. New agents offer alternative options for difficult-to-treat infections: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a leading cause of healthcare visits. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of doxycycline for outpatient CAP compared with other antibiotics: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...

Enterococcus faecalis is a challenging cause of endocarditis and often occurs in elderly, frail patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of moxifloxacin for treating E. faecalis endocarditis: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...
This prospective, population-based study examines the incidence, clinical presentation, and prognosis of infectious encephalitis among adults in Denmark: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...
This review explores why MICs can vary between methods, highlights key sources of testing discordance, and discusses clinically important phenomena such as tolerance and heteroresistance that standard MIC testing may miss: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...
New original article demonstrates that DENOVA supports risk stratification for IE in patients with EfB, informing clinical decision-making and use of transoesophageal echocardiography. Read the full article: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...
