Background: This six-year retrospective study provides an in-depth analysis of the epidemiological and clinical patterns associated with () infections, focusing on age distribution, antibiotic resistance profiles, and specimen types.

Aim: The research examines the incidence and characteristics of non-Multi-Drug Resistant (non-MDR) and Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) strains by reviewing patient records from January 2016 to December 2022.

Methods: Through a statistical analysis, the study highlights the incidence rates across diverse age groups and explores the impact of antibiotic treatment regimens on infection outcomes.

ranks as among the most frequently encountered fungal infections that associated with high morbidity and mortality. Quinoxaline derivatives are a group of small molecules that showed a promising antimicrobial activity. This study aimed to investigate the fungicidal effects of 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol against in comparison with Amphotericin B as a reference.

Introduction: is the primary cause of invasive fungal disease, candidiasis, especially in developed nations. The increasing resistance observed in multiple antibiotics, coupled with the prolonged process of creating new antibiotics from the ground up, emphasizes the urgent requirement for innovative methods and new compounds to combat infections. Employing a treatment strategy that combines antibiotics can improve efficacy, broaden the spectrum of targeted fungal, and reduce the chances of resistance emergence.

Background: The growing resistance seen in various antibiotics, including those considered as last-resort options, underscores the pressing need for novel approaches and new substances to address MRSA infections. Combining antibiotics as a treatment approach can enhance effectiveness, expand the range of targeted bacteria, and minimize the likelihood of resistance emergence. This approach holds promise in addressing the escalating issue of antibiotic resistance.
