Abstract
In anaerobic infections, the relationship between clinical failure and antibiotic resistance is difficult to demonstrate, especially in mixed anaerobic-aerobic infections. Single isolates of anaerobes in cases of bacteraemia revealed that treatment failures were due to inappropriate therapy. We review here cases, where the empiric treatment was unsuccessful due to resistance of anaerobic bacteria to the administered agents and where the change of the antibiotic allowed the patients to be cured. Many therapeutic failures could be linked to the lack of timely detection of resistance, including heteroresistance of the anaerobes. Disk diffusion or Etest methodology may be suitable, at least for rapidly growing anaerobes, to detect both resistance and heteroresistance to antibiotics widely used for empirical therapy.

Abstract
Typhoidal and para-typhoidal Salmonella are major causes of bacteraemia in resource-limited countries. Diagnostic alternatives to laborious and resource-demanding serotyping are essential. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) is a rapidly developing and simple bacterial typing technology. In this study, we assessed the discriminatory power of the FTIRS-based IR Biotyper (Bruker Daltonik GmbH, Bremen, Germany), for the rapid and reliable identification of biochemically confirmed typhoid and paratyphoid fever-associated Salmonella isolates. In total, 359 isolates, comprising 30 S. Typhi, 23 S. Paratyphi A, 23 S. Paratyphi B, and 7 S. Paratyphi C, respectively and other phylogenetically closely related Salmonella serovars belonging to the serogroups O:2, O:4, O:7 and O:9 were tested. The strains were derived from clinical, environmental and food samples collected at different European sites. Applying artificial neural networks, specific automated classifiers were built to discriminate typhoidal serovars from non-typhoidal serovars within each of the four serogroups. The accuracy of the classifiers was 99.9%, 87.0%, 99.5% and 99.0% for Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi A, B and Salmonella Paratyphi C, respectively. The IR Biotyper is a promising tool for fast and reliable detection of typhoidal Salmonella. Hence, IR biotyping may serve as a suitable alternative to conventional approaches for surveillance and diagnostic purposes.
