Vancomycin-resistant bacteremia in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) patient under hemodialysis.

Background: Today, one of the important challenges related to the emergence of antibiotic resistance among hospital-acquired infections is Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE). The identification of the hospital transfer pattern and accurate laboratory diagnosis can be effective in preventing or selecting the appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of these types of infections, especially in hemodialysis patients.

Case Report: This report discusses the hospitalization of a 2.

Nanotechnology improves the detection of bacteria: Recent advances and future perspectives.

Nanotechnology has advanced significantly, particularly in biomedicine, showing promise for nanomaterial applications. Bacterial infections pose persistent public health challenges due to the lack of rapid pathogen detection methods, resulting in antibiotic overuse and bacterial resistance, threatening the human microbiome. Nanotechnology offers a solution through nanoparticle-based materials facilitating early bacterial detection and combating resistance.

bloodstream infection in the patient with Guillain-Barre syndrome under plasmapheresis.

is a rare Gram-negative opportunistic bacterium that causes rare infections such as bacteremia, neonatal sepsis, endocarditis, and meningitis in hospitalized or immunocompromised patients. In this study, we identified and reported bloodstream infection caused by in a 15 -year-old boy patient with an autoimmune disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, under plasmapheresis and intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) therapy. He was referred for admission to the neurology center of the teaching hospital of Shiraz, Iran for inability to walk, and lower extremity muscle weakness.

Plasmid-related β-lactamase genes in isolates: a molecular study in burn patients.

One of the most important resistant mechanisms in Gram-negative bacteria is extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Harbour-related genes on plasmids, increase the risk of resistance transmission among commonly reported hospital infections. This study was designed to explore the dissemination of producing ESBLs on their plasmids recovered from the different wards of Amir-Al-Momenin burn center, Affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.
