The paper develops a rules-based classifier to predict ciprofloxacin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae from genotype data and demonstrates its global distribution association with quinolone consumption.

This study evaluates the in vitro activity of cefiderocol against carbapenemase-producing and meropenem-nonsusceptible gram-negative bacteria from Japan, showing high susceptibility rates compared to other antibiotics.

This study analyzes genome sequences and antimicrobial resistance patterns of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Japan, revealing genetic diversity and lower multidrug resistance prevalence compared to other regions.
