Surgical patients ’ safety in Polish hospital environment in the context of selected infection control practices
Conclusions Based on the results of the study, the organization of surveillance infections in Polish surgical wards appears to be satisfactory. However, practical implementation of surgical site infection prophylaxis calls for significant alterations, both in terms of executing training as well as implementing practices in the wards or the operating room. On the one hand, due to a lack of multicenter studies on the epidemiology of SSI in Polish surgical wards, actual exposure to SSI cannot be assessed.

Presence of Qnr genes related to resistance to quinolones, first-, second-, and third-generation in diarrheagenic Escherichia coli
Conclusions The results of present study show the presence of a high frequency of qnr genes in E. coli strains resistant to quinolones in clinical samples from southwest of Iran. In addition, this study approved that plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) is a possible mechanism among the quinolones-resistant E. coli isolated from patients with diarrhea in the study, and also qnrB and qnrS genes seem to be more important in resistance to quinolones.
