When good bugs go bad: Epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Corynebacterium striatum, an emerging multidrug-resistant, opportunistic pathogen

ABSTRACT Infections with Corynebacterium striatum have been described in the literature over the last 2 decades, with the majority being bacteremia, central line infections, and occasionally, endocarditis. In recent years, the frequency of C. striatum infections appears to be increasing; a factor likely contributing to this is the increased ease and accuracy of the identification of Corynebacterium spp., including C. striatum , from clinical cultures. The objective of this study was to retrospectively characterize C. striatum isolates recovered from specimens submitted as part of routine patient care at a 1,250-bed, tertiary-care academic medical center. Multiple strain types were recovered, as demonstrated by repetitive-sequence-based PCR. Most of the strains of C. striatum characterized were resistant to antimicrobials commonly used to treat Gram-positive organisms, such as penicillin, ceftriaxone, meropenem, clindamycin, and tetracycline. The MIC 50 for ceftaroline was &gt;32 μg/ml. Although there are no interpretive criteria for susceptibility with telavancin, it appeared to have potent in vitro efficacy against this species, with MIC 50 and MIC 90 values of 0.064 and 0.125 μg/ml, respectively. Finally, as previously reported in case studies, we demonstrated rapid in vitro development of daptomycin resistance in 100% of the isolates tested ( n = 50), indicating that caution should be exhibited when using daptomycin for the treatment of C. striatum infections. C. striatum is an emerging, multidrug-resistant pathogen that can be associated with a variety of infection types. </jats:p

Questioning data and data becoming: Rhizomatic data-trail experimentations with bridge/briging

In the current presentation, we pose a series of questions and share provocations on how qualitative researchers interact with data and how data traces research possibilities. We play – follow our ambitious wonderings about data – with researchcreation possibilities to interrogate how data may become in various forms and timespaces. In our work, we depart rhizomatically from the inspiration we had during past experiences of data trails, i.e., a specific mode of thinking and doing for research-creation possibilities. These experiences with experimentation make us question research practices and the discourses around them; they invoke us to ponder a series of ethical-onto-epistemological turns with data. In this presentation, we let the concept of “bridge/bridging” help us with this pondering. Additionally, we share and create provocations about data without any ambition to solve ‘the data question”. Rather, we approach the question about data and their functions as we propose a series of wonderings and data points with the hope of inspiring colleagues to debate about data. The session is, eventually, an offer for an alternative reading of data

Data Becomings: Bridge/Bridging Data-Trails in Qualitative Inquiry

This article plays with research-creation possibilities to interrogate data, data trails, and their becomings in qualitative inquiry. It arises through the inspiration of the authors’ experiences in experimenting with data-trails: a specific mode of thinking-doing for speculative research-creation possibilities. By placing these experiences alongside conventional discourses and protocols of research practice, the article ponders on a series of ethico-onto-epistemological questions about data becomings. We wonder about how qualitative researchers find and trace interconnected data? We approach this timeless question and adopt the concept of bridge/bridging to help us in considering the ontological sites that such data-trail research-creation possibilities afford
