Antimicrobials profiling, biofilm formation, and clonal lineage of methicillin-resistant isolated from cockroaches.

Cockroaches are widely recognized as vectors for transmitting pathogenic microorganisms in hospital and community environments due to their movement between contaminated and human-occupied spaces. (. ), particularly methicillin-resistant (MRSA), is a primary global health concern because of its capacity to cause a wide range of infections and its resistance to many antibiotics.

Identification of beta-lactamase genes and molecular genotyping of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a clinically relevant pathogen that has raised considerable public health concerns. This study aims to determine the presence of beta-lactamase genes and perform molecular genotyping of multidrug-resistant (MDR) K. pneumoniae clinical isolates.

A Comprehensive Study on the Distribution of Integrons and Their Gene Cassettes in Clinical Isolates.

Antibiotic resistance is a significant global health concern, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Integrons are genetic elements that could acquire and express gene cassettes, including those that confer antibiotic resistance. This comprehensive study focused on the distribution of integrons and their gene cassettes in clinical isolates.

Anti-biofilm and antibacterial effect of bacteriocin derived from Lactobacillus plantarum on the multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

This research examines the impact of bacteriocin derived from Lactobacillus plantarum PTCC 1745 on the biofilm formations of A. baumannii isolates. Bacteriocin derived from L.

Vaginal microbiota and gynecological cancers: a complex and evolving relationship.

The vagina hosts a community of microorganisms known as the vaginal microbiota. This community is relatively stable and straightforward, with Lactobacillus species being the most dominant members. The vaginal microbiota has various functions that are essential for maintaining human health and balance.

Evaluation of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes, SCCmec, gene and PCR-RFLP gene typing of isolates from hospitals in Shiraz, southwest of Iran.

is an important human pathogen that causes various infections. Aminoglycosides are broad-spectrum antibiotics used to treat methicillinresistant (MRSA) infections. Typing of isolates by coagulase gene typing and PCR-RFLP gene is a fast and suitable method for epidemiological studies.

Exploring the functional composition of the human microbiome using a hand-curated microbial trait database.

Background: Even when microbial communities vary wildly in their taxonomic composition, their functional composition is often surprisingly stable. This suggests that a functional perspective could provide much deeper insight into the principles governing microbiome assembly. Much work to date analyzing the functional composition of microbial communities, however, relies heavily on inference from genomic features.

Characterization and antibiotic resistance pattern of diffusely adherent (DAEC), isolated from paediatric diarrhoea in Shiraz, southern Iran.

Diarrhoea is a major health concern, especially in developing countries. Research has implicated diffusely adherent (DAEC) strains as a cause of diarrhoea. In this study, we investigated the prevalence, adherence assay, virulence gene profiles and antimicrobial resistance of DAEC at a hospital in southern Iran.

Financial Barriers and Lapses in Treatment and Care of HIV-Infected Adults in a Southern State in the United States.

Antiretroviral (ARV) adherence has largely been considered from the perspective of an individual's behavior with less attention given to potential structural causes for lapses in treatment, such as the cost of medications and care. HIV medication expense is typically covered by third party payers. However, private insurance premiums and deductibles may rise, or policies terminated such as with a change in employment.

Droplet dynamics in rotating flows.

This paper deals with investigations of droplet dynamics in rotating flows. In many previous studies droplet dynamics was analyzed in simple unidirectional flows. To fill this gap, the focus of this study is an overview on investigations of droplet dynamics in a complex rotating flow.
