Background And Objectives: Rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH), two most potent antibiotics, are prescribed to cure tuberculosis. , the causative agent of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), is resistant to these first-line drugs. Here, two molecular techniques were demonstrated such as PCR sequencing-based and GeneXpert assay for rapidly identifying MDR-TB.

It is unclear which risk factors predispose patients to develop complete heart block (CHB). We present a unique case of a 66-year-old female with rheumatic heart disease and HOCM admitted for aortic valve (AV) repair and septal myectomy, complicated by a presentation of complete heart block.

Strain variation is linked to geographic location as well as pattern of land uses. This soil-dwelling Gram-negative pathogen causes melioidosis, a tropical disease endemic in northern Australia and Southeast Asian regions including Bangladesh.
