Article Synopsis
- Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) poses a serious threat in healthcare, with high mortality rates, leading to a study focused on analyzing specific genes in CRAB and testing antimicrobial combinations.
- The study utilized several methods, including the Modified Hodge Test for phenotypic characterization, Polymerase Chain Reaction for molecular analysis, and bioinformatics tools for mutational analysis, revealing multiple resistant genes and significant mutations.
- Despite examining various antimicrobial combinations, the results indicated no synergistic effects against CRAB, emphasizing the need for new treatment strategies to combat these resistant strains effectively.
Objective: To review the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in Pakistan.
Methods: The systematic review comprised search on Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed and Scopus databases for studies related to the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in Pakistan published between 2006 and 2020 which used serological diagnostic tests to detect Toxoplasma gondii. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used throughout the review and statistical analysis was done using forest plot and random effect model.
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)-associated infections are one of the major threats to public health. The aim of the present study was to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern, as well as the genetic characterization, of methicillin and vancomycin-resistant S.

The aim of the present study was to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern as well as the genetic characterization of methicillin and vancomycin resistant (VRSA) isolated from a tertiary care hospital in Lahore. The were isolated from different clinical samples, identified by biochemical testing, and subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing by disc diffusion method or broth microdilution method.
