Antibacterial and Phytochemical Screening of Extract as Potential Antimicrobial Agents against Multi-Drug-Resistant (MDR) Strains of Clinical Origin.

Background: The perennial plant is widely distributed around the world. It has been used for many years in conventional medicine to treat a variety of illnesses, including stress, mild to moderate depression, and minor injuries. This study examined the antimicrobial activity of the total extract and its fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and aqueous) against multi-drug-resistant (MDR) isolates that were gathered from clinical samples, including methicillin-resistant (MRSA), , , and .

Case Report: Visceral Leishmaniasis with Paratyphi and Coinfection as a Cause of Persistent Fever in a Patient from Sudan.

We describe the case of a 12-year-old boy from Sudan who presented with fever of 1-week duration, headache, cough, and vomiting. A set of diagnostic tests led to the diagnosis of three infectious diseases: visceral leishmaniasis (probable diagnosis based on positive direct agglutination test), enteric fever (blood culture grown with Paratyphi), and brucellosis (blood culture grown with ). The patient received specific treatment of the three infections and recovered.

l-Methioninase from some isolates I: Isolation, identification of best producers and some properties of the crude enzyme produced.

Among 60 isolates of tested; only 40 isolates were capable to utilize l-methionine as the only source of nitrogen in medium. In addition, 24 of these isolates could grow in medium amended with l-methionine as a source of nitrogen and carbon. Qualitative rapid plate assay test shows the ability of 18 of these isolates to grow with a pink color surrounding their colonial growth, while 6 of these isolates could grow and utilize l-methionine without any pink color around their colonial growth.
