ALT A patient delivers twins and experiences what appears to be severe pregnancy complications, possibly HELLP syndrome or something similar. After 5 days in the hospital, she spikes a fever and grows a gram-negative rod from blood cultures. What could this organism be and why can it be a serious concern for patients? A. Stenotrophomonas (may be multi-drug resistant). B. Elizabethkingia (may be hospital-acquired). C. Stenotrophomonas (may represent lab contamination). D. Carbapenem-resistant E. coli (may cause liver injury).

ALT Mutational frequencies. Mutational frequency of ERA-adapted strains on challenge hosts ATRO (blue), PP (gold), and TOM (red). Results normalized against PFU per milliliter of same lysates on ERA (n = 3). Mutation frequency = log10(PFU/mL on challenge host) − log10(PFU/mL on ERA).
