Article Synopsis
- The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is crucial for regulating blood pressure and electrolyte levels, but it’s also linked to cancer processes like angiogenesis and tumor growth.
- Genetic variants affecting RAAS components can change how these genes work, potentially increasing cancer risk and influencing patient outcomes.
- Understanding RAAS's role in cancer can help develop personalized medicine approaches for cancer prevention and treatment strategies.
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes and , as well as the virulence genes , and , in uropathogenic () isolates from the Egyptian population. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 50 isolates were collected from urine samples from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) admitted to Tanta University Hospital from December 2020 to November 2021.
