Admission outcomes and their associated factors among children admitted to the paediatric emergency unit within 24 hours of Dilla University Referral Hospital, Ethiopia, 2023: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Children in paediatric emergency units are those who need special attention, and unless treated early, they are a vulnerable population to unwanted outcomes like death, discharge against medical advice or referral to other institutions within 24 hours.

Objectives: To assess admission outcomes and their associated factors among children admitted to the paediatric emergency unit of Dilla University Referral Hospital, Ethiopia, 2023.

Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed among children admitted to the paediatric emergency unit at Dilla University Referral Hospital from 8 May 2023 to 8 June 2023.

Sequencing a CC239-MRSA-III with a novel composite SCC mec element from Kuwait.

Staphylococcus aureus CC239-MRSA-III is an ancient pandemic strain of hospital-associated, methicillin-resistant S. aureus that spread globally for decades and that still can be found in some parts of the world. In Kuwait, microarray-based surveillance identified from 2019 to 2022 a series of isolates of a hitherto unknown variant of this strain that carried a second set of recombinase genes, ccrA/B-2.

Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Kuwait: A Molecular and Genetic Analysis.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a major pathogen that causes serious infections in healthcare facilities and in communities. The purpose of this study was to investigate MRSA isolates obtained in a tertiary hospital in Kuwait to assess their antibiotic susceptibility profile and clonal composition. Sixty MRSA isolates collected in 2020 were tested through antibiotic susceptibility testing, typing, and DNA microarray analysis.
