Background: Gram-positive cocci, including Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus species, and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species (CONS), are major causes of nosocomial infections. The increasing prevalence of drug-r...

Many cases of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections are caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pn), an infectious disease bacterium. Hospital inpatients can be exposed to this occurrence; MDR has transformed 26.96% ...

ABSTRACT Background The depth of lung consolidation (≥ 1 and ≥ 3 cm) on thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) is increasingly used as a criterion for antimicrobial treatment. However, its association with bacterial in...

Abstract Objective The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance poses significant clinical challenges, particularly in cases of co-infections involving Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), ...

Abstract Background Bordetella pertussis (BP) infection has risen rapidly in pediatrics recently, and next-generation sequencing has significantly improved pertussis’ early diagnosis. High detection rates raise the con...

AIM: The hepatitis B infection is a subject that still keeps its significance for hemodialysis staff members and hemodialysis patients at present. In this study, our aim was to evaluate whether the infections occurring d...

Chlamydia trachomatis urogenital infections are the leading cause of sexually transmitted bacterial infections. Although the prevalence of chlamydial infection is similar in men and women, current research is mainly focu...

Abstract Potato crops in Bangladesh are significantly threatened by viral diseases, underscoring the need for comprehensive virome profiling to inform sustainable management strategies. In this study, we employed high-th...

The pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria is linked to the variant surface antigen PfEMP1, which mediates tethering of infected erythrocytes to the host endothelium and is encoded by approximately 60 var genes pe...

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium that causes nosocomial infections in hospitals. It can develop high-level multidrug resistance (MDR). The MexA gene is a constitutive chromosomal gene in t...
