The Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Antimicrobial Resistance Determinants of Detected in Dyspeptic Patients in North-Central Bangladesh.

Chronic infection of represents a key factor in the etiology of gastrointestinal diseases, with high endemicity in South Asia. 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.

Genetic characterization of methicillin-resistant / susceptible (MRSA/MSSA) and clinical isolates in Bangladesh: Dominance of ST6-MRSA-IV/t304 and detection of / in ST8-MSSA/t008.

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.

Molecular insights into the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant from Bangladesh suggest diverse and continuous evolution.

The study analyzed the molecular dynamics of the circulating SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant from its identification in November 2021 to January 2023. The SARS-CoV-2 sequences from Bangladesh revealed three distinct waves of the Omicron variant. More than 50 sub-lineages of Omicron variant were introduced into the country, with the majority belonging to the major lineages of BA.

Clonal Diversity of , , and Isolated from Septicemia and Otomycosis in Bangladesh as Determined by Multilocus Sequence Typing.

, , and have been regarded as emerging fungal pathogens that can cause infections with high mortality. For genotyping of , a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme based on four locus sequences has been reported, while there is no typing scheme for and . In the present study, the existing MLST scheme of was modified by adding more locus types deduced from sequence data available in the GenBank database.

Prevalence and Antifungal Susceptibility of Clinically Relevant Species, Identification of and in Bangladesh.

species are major fungal pathogens in humans. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of individual species and their susceptibility to antifungal drugs among clinical isolates in a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. During a 10-month period in 2021, high vaginal swabs (HVSs), blood, and aural swabs were collected from 360 patients.
