Declarations
:
: All strains used in this study belonged to the collection of the Department of Microbiology at Nîmes University Hospital (France). The study was submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Nîmes University Hospital, France. The IRB deemed it unnecessary to obtain consent to participate from patients in accordance with national regulation. This is because the analysis of biological samples was conducted in the context of medical care and was considered as non-interventional research. Furthermore, this study utilized only bacterial strains and did not involve human specimens or the exploration of clinical data. In this context, the IRB determined that only the non-opposition of the patient during sampling was required, in accordance with articles L1221-1.1, L1211-2, and N°DC-2020-4155 of the French Public Health Code. Consequently, the requirement for consent to participate was waived by the IRB of Nîmes University Hospital.
