Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the opportunistic pathogen's antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence, particularly the type III secretion system (T3SS) that contributes to its pathogenicity and treatment challenges.
- Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies from 2011 to 2023 to evaluate the prevalence of high-risk clones (HRCs) in Brazilian isolates using multilocus sequence typing (MLST).
- Findings revealed that almost half of the MLST-typed isolates were HRCs, with significant regional differences in prevalence, emphasizing the importance of understanding these clones in relation to AMR issues in Brazil.
worms cause a waterborne parasitic disease called schistosomiasis. It commonly affects individuals in lack of sanitation structure. In Brazil, Pará state has Belém as one of the worst sanitation-ranking places in 2023, where schistosomiasis transmission was already documented.

The purpose of the current study is to describe the prevalence of (PA)-producing MβL among Brazilian isolates and the frequency of in MβL-PA-producing isolates. From January 2009 to August 2023, we carried out an investigation on this subject in the internet databases SciELO, PubMed, Science Direct, and LILACS. A total of 20 papers that met the eligibility requirements were chosen by comprehensive meta-analysis software v2.

is a high-priority bacterial agent that causes healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs), which often leads to serious infections and poor prognosis in vulnerable patients. Its increasing resistance to antimicrobials, associated with SPM production, is a case of public health concern. Therefore, this study aims to determine the antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and genotyping features of strains producing SPM-1 in the Northern region of Brazil.

The immunopathogenic conditions of the hyperinflammatory response that cause systemic inflammation are extremely linked to its severity. This research sought to review the immunopathological elements that contribute to its progression.

Article Synopsis
- Typhoidal salmonellosis is a significant public health issue, particularly in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, where most cases are reported.
- Molecular characterization of Typhi strains is crucial for understanding the disease's epidemiology and developing effective control strategies.
- The study analyzed bacterial isolates from patients in Acre and Pará from 1995 to 2013, identifying epidemic clones and multiple pulsotypes, which highlights the persistence and transmission patterns of the disease in this area.
