Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the clinical, microbiological, and molecular characteristics of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteraemia, outcomes, and risk factors associated with mortality. Methods This was a nationwide retrospective cohort study of patients with S. maltophilia bacteraemia during the period between January 2017 and December 2021. MIC Test Strips (Liofilchem, Roseto degli Abruzzi, Italy) were use...

Despite extensive theoretical work on Manning’s roughness coefficient (n) in hydraulic literature, its numerical validity across multiple scales in two-dimensional depth-averaged (2DH) frameworks remains poorly quantified. This study addresses this gap by developing a systematic multi-scale calibration protocol applied to a complex reach of a large alluvial river. The novelty lies in the simultaneous evaluation of three geomet...

Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen and a major cause of healthcare-associated infections, including ventilator-associated pneumonia, bacteraemia, meningitis, and urinary tract infections. Its persistence in hospital environments is due to its ability to survive desiccation, resist disinfectants, and colonize both biotic and abiotic surfaces. Virulence in A. baumannii is largely associated with st...
