Antimicrobial resistance and genomic characterization of isolates from chicken meat.

This study investigated genotypic and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles, phylogenic relatedness, plasmid and virulence composition of 39 strains isolated from chicken meat samples using whole genome sequencing (WGS) technology. Four distinct serotypes were identified; Minnesota (16/39, 41%), Infantis (13/39, 33.3%), Enteritidis (9/39, 23.

Rivaroxaban-associated intracranial hemorrhage in Saudi atrial fibrillation patients.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Anticoagulation therapy effectively reduces systemic embolization in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, but intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a major possible complication. This study assessed the real-time rate of rivaroxaban-associated ICH in Saudi patients.
