Abstract

Following the large-scale industrialization of agriculture, the commodi cation of land and water and the “super-green revolution” based on intensive irrigation, agriculture has radically changed in the Middle East: a global disjuncture has increasingly taken place at the local level between the farmers or those who produce food, the consumers and their territories, and the cultures and ‘agri-cultures’. Agriculture has been seen as a mere economic and technical sector, representing small farmers out of political settings in their patterns of land and water use, and thus transcending local realities and inequalities in development policies. rough some cases from Jordan elds and “battle elds”, di erent patterns of disjunc- ture, which are at the core of inequalities and dependencies of small farmers, will be highlighted.

Abstract

Colonization by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and related bloodstream infections (BSI) are associated with a high rate of mortality in patients with hematological malignancies after intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). In this retrospective study, we analyzed the outcomes of patients colonized with MDR bacteria (primarily carbapenem-resistant klebsiella pneumoniae , KPC), before allo-SCT. We also investigated the feasibility and safety of an antimicrobial de-escalating approach in these patients. Since 2021, 106 patients have been undergoing allo-SCT in our department, and 34 (32%) of them were colonized by MDR bacteria before allo-SCT. In the pre-engraftment period, 84% received an empiric antibiotic therapy (EAT) active against MDR bacteria and 16% were treated with a conventional EAT. The MDR translocation rate was null, and the overall de-escalation rate was 79%, with 75% in patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO). Among the cohort of patients with MDR-positive rectal swabs just before allo-SCT ( n  = 18), the de-escalation rate was 100%. The all-cause mortality rates at 30 and 100 days for the whole MDR patient population were 6% (2/34) and 12% (4/34), respectively. Day +30 infection-related mortality rate was 3%. In this study, we confirm the safety of the de-escalation approach in patients with previous MDR infection after allo-SCT. This could reduce the exposure time to EAT antibiotics, reducing the selective pressure., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2025 Bono, Sapienza, Tringali, Rotolo, Santoro, Di Noto, Pirrera, Schirò, Rubino, Cascio, Siragusa, Tommaselli, DiQuattro, Patti and Castagna.)
