Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of bloodstream infections. The recent epidemiological features and antimicrobial resistance trend were analyzed for methicillin-resistant and susceptible S. aureus (MRSA/MSSA) isolates from blood samples in northern Japan.

This is the first comprehensive review of the status of glycemic control, diabetes knowledge, treatment adherence, complications and financial burden faced by the diabetic patient population of the country.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus for studies on diabetes control, knowledge, treatment adherence, prevalence of complications and cost in Pakistan published in English from 2000 to 2024.
Article Synopsis
- Staphylococcus argenteus, a newly identified species, was studied to understand its epidemiology and antibiotic resistance from 2020 to 2023 in northern Japan.
- The study found 210 S. argenteus isolates, with a slight decrease in their prevalence compared to previous years and identified three genotypes, with ST2250 being the most common.
- Most isolates were susceptible to tested antibiotics, but one genotype showed higher resistance rates and some non-hemolytic isolates were found to have intact hemolysin genes despite not exhibiting hemolysis.
Background: Two major bacterial pathogens, and , are becoming increasingly antibiotic-resistant. Despite the urgency, only a few new antibiotics have been approved to address these infections. Although cannabinoids have been noted for their antibacterial properties, a comprehensive review of their effects on these bacteria has been lacking.
