Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis is a neglected zoonotic disease that is prevalent in Bangladesh, but its recent epidemiological status is poorly documented.
- A study tested 186 febrile patients and found a 47% positivity rate for leptospirosis using various diagnostic methods, with nested PCR showing higher positivity in patients with short fever durations.
- Most cases were among males aged 16-45, particularly farmers in rural areas, and common symptoms included fever, myalgia, and jaundice, with the identified pathogenic species belonging to subclade P2.
In Intensive Care Units (ICUs) infection represents the most frequent complication leading to high mortality. Particularly the incidence of fungal infections, especially due to Candida spp., has been increasing during the last years.

The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of among dyspeptic patients in north-central Bangladesh (Mymensingh) and analyze risk factors of infection and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants in the pathogen. Endoscopic gastrointestinal biopsy samples were collected from dyspeptic patients for a one-year period from March 2022 and were checked for the presence of via the rapid urease test and PCR and further analyzed for the status of virulence factors / and genetic determinants related to AMR via PCR with direct sequencing or RFLP.

Objectives: Coagulase-positive staphylococcus (CoPS), represented by , is a major cause of infections in humans. This study aimed to investigate molecular epidemiological characteristics, antimicrobial resistance, and their trends of CoPS in Bangladesh.
Methods: Clinical isolates of CoPS were collected from two medical institutions in Bangladesh for a 2-year period and analyzed for their species, genotypes, virulence factors, antimicrobial susceptibility, and resistance determinants.
