Emerging spread of new fungal species poses risk for healthcare settings in the EU/EEA
The rise in Europe of Candida auris infections, a difficult-to-control fungus, is of concern. The fungus spreads easily in healthcare settings, can cause invasive infections, and is also associated with resistance to multiple classes of anti-fungal medication.

Colistin alone versus colistin plus meropenem for treatment of severe infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria: an open-label, randomised controlled trial – The Lancet Infectious Diseases
Combination therapy was not superior to monotherapy. The addition of meropenem tocolistin did not improve clinical failure in severe A baumannii infections. The trialwas unpowered to specifically address other bacteria.

La gonorrea es considerada como una de las infecciones de transmisión
sexual (ITS) priorizadas, que requiere una acción global para su
