Article Synopsis
  • Candidial infections such as balanitis and vulvovaginitis can develop antifungal resistance, prompting this study to identify the specific species and their susceptibility to antifungals.
  • A total of 54 patients were studied, and 41 were found to have culture-positive candidiasis, with 68.3% being identifiable species and significant fluconazole resistance (22%).
  • Understanding drug sensitivity is crucial for effective treatment, reducing patient suffering, and preventing cross-resistance in recurrent cases.

Infections with non-typhoidal salmonella (NTS) most commonly cause localised infections such as cutaneous abscesses in humans and are a leading source of foodborne illness. Here, we present a unique case of NTS Choleraesuis in a perianal abscess in an immunocompetent patient without any comorbidities.A woman in her late 40s was diagnosed with a perianal abscess with an unknown origin of infection.

 Fungal rhinosinusitis is on the rise worldwide and it is endemic especially in North India. The main purpose of this study was to determine the antifungal resistance profile of fungal isolates from the cases of fungal rhinosinusitis.  Antifungal susceptibility testing of isolated fungi to fluconazole, amphotericin B, itraconazole, and voriconazole was determined by standard CLSI broth microdilution method.

Sanitation is intended to reduce the spread and burden of diseases transmitted from excreta. Pathogen reduction from excreta before sludge or effluent discharge to the environment would seem a logical and useful performance indicator for sanitation systems. However, the relative magnitudes of pathogen release from common sanitation technologies are not well understood.

Bacterial associated infection is a threat in the medical field. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, one of the major causative agents for nosocomial infection, has developed resistance to almost all the classes of antibiotics. Recently, nanopillar-like structures were identified on the wings of insects such as cicada and dragonfly.
