Efficacy and safety of co-trimoxazole in eradication phase of melioidosis; systematic review.

Background: Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. The two stages of melioidosis treatment are the intense intravenous phase and the oral eradication phase. Although co-trimoxazole has been in use for several years, the literature does not demonstrate uniformity of the drug doses, combinations, or durations suitable for the eradication phase of melioidosis.

Mucormycosis-causing fungi in humans: a meta-analysis establishing the phylogenetic relationships using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences.

Mucormycosis is a severe angio-invasive fungal infection caused by mucormycetes, a group of fungi that are ubiquitous in the environment. The incidence of mucormycosis has been surging rapidly due to the global corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The complete picture of the causative fungi associated with mucormycosis and their phylogenetic relationships are not well defined.
