Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between bacteria found in the oral cavity and their presence in the stomach of dyspeptic patients in Ahvaz, Iran.
- It involved examining dental plaque and gastric biopsy samples from 106 patients to identify the bacteria's presence using genetic testing methods.
- Results showed that while the bacteria were present in the stomach of over half the patients, only a small fraction had it in their dental plaque, indicating no significant connection between the two sites.
Myxosarcomas are rare malignant neoplasms of soft connective tissues, and there are no reports of hepatic myxosarcomas in cats. An eight-year-old male, neutered, domestic shorthair cat presented with progressive hyporexia, lethargy, and weight loss. An ultrasonography study showed a large abdominal mass connected to the liver.

- - The study investigated the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma parvum, and Mycoplasma genitalium in infertile and fertile couples to see how these microorganisms may affect semen quality.
- - Samples were taken from 50 infertile couples and 50 fertile couples, revealing that some infertile men and women had these infections, while all samples from fertile couples were negative.
- - Findings indicated that infections like C. trachomatis and U. parvum were common among infertile couples and negatively impacted sperm motility, prompting a recommendation for screening programs for couples struggling with infertility.
This study investigated the prevalence of Clostridioides difficile by culture, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR), and loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) in patients with suspected C. difficile infections (CDIs). Also, the results of three methods were compared.

- Antibiotic resistance in Enterobacteriaceae poses significant global health concerns, particularly through mechanisms like overexpression of efflux pumps, which can lead to multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacterial infections.
- A study evaluated the prevalence of specific genes associated with efflux pumps in 100 clinical isolates collected from various infected patients, revealing that 37% of the isolates carried at least one resistance gene, while 12% had both.
- Results showed that all isolates were susceptible to imipenem, but exhibited high resistance rates to other antibiotics like piperacillin and ceftriaxone, highlighting the need for antibiotic monitoring to control the rise in MDR strains in Iran.
