Aztreonam-avibactam synergy, a validation and comparison of diagnostic tools Open
Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem that necessitates the development of new therapeutic options. Cefiderocol and aztreonam (AT) are often the last active β-lactams for treating metallo-β-lactamases (MBL)-producing G…

Comparing Vaginal and Endometrial Microbiota Using Culturomics: Proof of Concept Open
It is generally accepted that microorganisms can colonize a non-pathological endometrium. However, in a clinical setting, endometrial samples are always collected by passing through the vaginal–cervical route. As such, the vaginal and cerv…

Culturomics to Investigate the Endometrial Microbiome: Proof-of-Concept Open
The microbiome of the reproductive tract has been associated with (sub)fertility and it has been suggested that dysbiosis reduces success rates and pregnancy outcomes. The endometrial microbiome is of particular interest given the potentia…
