Abstract Background Bacterial diseases include any illness caused by bacteria. Bacteria are tiny microorganisms that can only be seen with a microscope. Other types of microorganisms include viruses, fungi, and some para...

Infected prostheses are usually removed from patients when this infection is difficult or impossible to treat. In this context, an unprecedented physical phenomenon, “bacterial cell migration”, by which bacteria from...

The host cell recognition and removal of invading pathogens are crucial for the control of microbial infections. However, several microorganisms have developed mechanisms that allow them to survive and replicate intracel...

ObjectiveMulti-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections have become a pressing global health issue due to increasing antibiotic resistance in clinical settings. This study aimed to identify and analyze the patterns of M...

Aims: Acute hand and wrist infections can be devastating, with a substantial burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared with high-income countries. Access to treatment, particularly surgery, can be limit...

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 Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in children. The prevalence and etiological patterns of pediatric UTIs vary based on demographic and environmen...

The persistent escalation of antibiotic resistance poses a severe threat to global public health. As a common opportunistic pathogen, the rapid development of resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) poses severe challen...

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the leading healthcare-associated infections worldwide, and S. aureus is the most prevalent cause. Antimicrobial resistance, dormant cells, and biofilm formation contribute to tr...

Ureteral stent-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain a significant clinical challenge, primarily due to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. To address this, we engineered a multifunctional antibacterial...

Abstract Background Salvia fruticosa (Lamiaceae) is traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal (GIT) issues, stomach and abdominal pain, and ulcers. In this work, we aimed to extract essential oils (EOs) from the aeria...

BackgroundCatastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare and life-threatening manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which is frequently later diagnosed with high mortality.Case reportA 54-year-old wo...

BackgroundSolid organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ diseases, including renal, hepatic, cardiac, and pulmonary failure (1). Long-term graft survival depends on sustained immunosuppression;...

Introduction: Ureteral Double J (DJ) stents are commonly used in urology to ensure urinary drainage. However, prolonged indwelling time increases the risk of bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation, which can lead t...

IntroductionWith the expansion of cervical cancer screening in China, clarifying the epidemiology of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) and co-infecting reproductive tract bacterial pathogens in underserved regions ...

BackgroundSince the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections has significantly increased, and bacterial codetection further exacerbates the disease burden. This study aims to compa...

Background22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS, also known as DiGeorge) affects 1/2,150 individuals. The deletion results in variable clinical phenotypes: thymic hypoplasia or aplasia, hypoparathyroidism, cardiac defects...

Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus skin infections represent a persistent clinical challenge owing to their high pathogenicity, multidrug resistance, and biofilm-associated recurrence, which collectively impair an...

Abstract Background Understanding the association between birds, zoonotic infections, and urban environments is increasingly important due to industrialization and emerging zoonoses. Investigating the diversity, structur...

Bacterial biofilm are complex microbial communities covered by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances, which develops when a community of microorganisms irreversibly adheres to a living or inert surface. This str...

OBJECTIVE: This research was designed as a therapeutic and prognostic study to assess the clinical and bacteriological examination findings of crush syndrome patients admitted to our hospital after the Bingol earthquake....

IntroductionNeutrophils, the most abundant leukocyte population, play a central role in host defense against group B Streptococcus (GBS), an encapsulated bacterium that frequently causes severe infections in humans, incl...

Otitis media is a prevalent condition affecting individuals of all ages, often accompanied by symptoms such as ear pain, fluid accumulation, and possible hearing loss. Bacterial infections are among the leading causes, w...
