is a significant healthcare-associated pathogen, notable for its diverse virulence and antibiotic resistance profiles. This study aimed to characterize the genotypic and phenotypic diversity of isolates and evaluate their virulence using the model. Biomass production, metabolic activity, capsule formation, and siderophore production were assessed in 27 .

Biofilm formation complicates these infections, commonly requiring both surgical and antibiotic treatments. This study explored the biofilm matrix composition and antimicrobial susceptibility of planktonic and biofilm-growing isolates from individuals with SCS-related infections.

- Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a long-lasting skin problem that can get worse when bad bacteria take over the skin.
- Researchers studied skin and bacteria in people with severe AD and compared them to healthy people to see how their skin and bacteria were different.
- They found that healthy skin has a better balance of bacteria, while AD skin shows signs of competition between bacteria and different genetic traits that help them stick around.
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely recognized for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy in skin wound care. This study investigates the effectiveness of NaOCl against a range of bacterial and fungal isolates from pressure ulcer (PU) patients. We analyzed 20 bacterial isolates from PU patients, comprising carbapenem-resistant (CRKP), multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB), methicillin-resistant (MRSA), methicillin-susceptible (MSSA), along with 5 isolates.
