A rare case report of Aeromonas salmonicida causing neonatal septicaemia
Aeromonas salmonicida, a pathogen known primarily for causing septicaemia and furunculosis in fish, has rarely been implicated in human disease due to its inability to grow at 37°C. However, we report a rare and fatal case of neonatal septicaemia caused by A. salmonicida, isolated from a preterm…

The value of rapid diagnostics in pediatric care: a stewardship-based framework informed by a multidisciplinary meeting in Rome
Rapid syndromic diagnostics are increasingly used in pediatric acute care to provide early etiologic information and broaden pathogen detection. Their value, however, does not rely on speed alone. By simultaneously testing for multiple pathogens and, in selected settings, antimicrobial resistance…
