Purpose: Strongyloidiasis is mainly prevalent in developing countries with poor economic and sanitary conditions. The clinical manifestations of Strongyloides stercoralis infection are complex and diverse, lacking specificity, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
Methods: An elderly male patient, repeated cough and expectoration for 4 years, with exacerbation and dyspnea for 10 days, was admitted to hospital.
The present study aimed to investigate the association between drug resistance and class I, II and III integrons in (ABA). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a tool used to analyze the homology among house-keeping gene clusters in ABA and ABA prevalence and further provides a theoretical basis for hospitals to control ABA infections. A total of 96 clinical isolates of non-repeating ABA were harvested, including 74 carbapenem-resistant ABA (CRABA) and 22 non-CRABA strains, and used for bacterial identification and drug susceptibility analysis.

- MAIT cells are crucial for immune responses, and their function is altered in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.
- OX40, a receptor found on MAIT cells in T2D, correlates with increased activation and a memory-like state but is also linked to a reduced overall count of these cells in the blood.
- Activated OX40 signaling leads to higher levels of cleaved caspase-3, promoting apoptosis in MAIT cells, revealing that OX40 enhances the death of these immune cells during T2D.
