Article Synopsis
- The study examines the rising prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in healthcare settings, identifying significant global health concerns due to limited treatment options.
- It includes data from 795 studies across 80 countries and highlights substantial increases in antibiotic resistance rates from 1995 to 2023, particularly between 2020 and 2023.
- The findings stress the urgent need for targeted interventions and improved collaboration to address this escalating public health issue.
Article Synopsis
- Brucellosis, caused by B. abortus and B. melitensis, is a significant health threat, and standard treatments like rifampin and cotrimoxazole are facing rising antibiotic resistance.
- A systematic review analyzed 59 studies from 21 countries, revealing that cotrimoxazole resistance is at 3.4% and rifampin resistance at 4.6%, with trends showing increases over time, especially in B. melitensis.
- The study underscores the need for ongoing monitoring of antibiotic resistance, highlighting variations based on time, geography, and species, to inform treatment guidelines for pediatric brucellosis.
Background: infection is a primary global health concern. However, the widespread use of antibiotics, particularly macrolides such as clarithromycin, has increased resistance among strains. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of macrolide resistance in in different world regions.

Phage therapy offers a targeted approach but encounters delivery hurdles. Due to their biocompatibility and controlled release properties, hydrogels hold promise as carriers.

However, it is important to note that NOVC-related infections are increasing and serve as a significant illustration of emerging human diseases associated with climate change.
