Background: Bacteremic urinary tract infections (bUTI) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study aims to identify risk factors, pathogenic organisms, and resistance patterns in bUTI.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care urology center.
Objectives: COVID-19 unravelled new ethical issues in the neglected field of infectious diseases ethics (IDE). We investigated IDE involvement among infectious diseases professionals.
Methods: A global survey was disseminated during 2021-2022.

- - The study examined Nocardia infection in renal transplant recipients in Pakistan from 2013 to 2020, identifying risk factors, clinical signs, and outcomes, with a focus on mortality rates and antimicrobial sensitivity.
- - Out of 48 patients with nocardiosis, 25% had disseminated disease, presenting a median of 2.68 years post-transplant; key risk factors included high-dose methylprednisolone and recent cytomegalovirus infection, contributing to a 20% mortality rate.
- - The research highlighted that central nervous system involvement was linked to higher mortality, and found that Nocardia species were largely resistant to ceftriaxone and imipenem, with co-trimoxazole and
