This study collected ten treated wastewater samples from Vinh Long General Hospital to determine their physicochemical characteristics and antibiotic properties. All treated wastewater samples collected during the monitoring periods complied with national regulations. In addition, these samples did not contain bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella, and Vibrio cholerae.

- The study focuses on the rising antibiotic resistance of a common bacterium that causes severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Vietnamese children, highlighting the urgent need for monitoring.
- Researchers collected nasopharyngeal samples from 239 children and discovered that most bacterial strains were highly resistant to penicillin, erythromycin, and clarithromycin, while all were susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid.
- The findings suggest that penicillin is not an effective first-line treatment for severe CAP, and recommend using ceftriaxone at an increased dose instead.
Article Synopsis
- - Pneumonia is a major cause of death in children under 5, with viruses being the most frequent culprit in community-acquired cases, and co-infections raising concerns among doctors.
- - A study used real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to analyze samples from 95 children suffering from severe pneumonia, finding a 90.5% positive detection rate for pathogens, with viral-bacterial co-infections being the most common (43.1%).
- - The study identified key bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae and MRSA, emphasizing that antibiotics should target these specific microbes for effective treatment in severe pneumonia cases.
