Comparative genomic analysis of antibiotic resistance and virulence genes in isolates from patients and retail meat.

Introduction: is a significant human pathogen that poses a threat to public health due to its association with foodborne contamination and a variety of infections. The factors contributing to the pathogenicity of include virulence, drug resistance, and toxin production, making it essential to monitor their prevalence and genetic profiles. This study investigated and compared the genomic characteristics of isolates from retail meat and patients in Saudi Arabia.

Clonal Flux and Spread of Isolated from Meat and Its Genetic Relatedness to Isolated from Patients in Saudi Arabia.

In this study, we investigated both meat-derived and methicillin-resistant (MRSA), exploring their genetic relatedness to patient-derived MRSA isolates in Saudi Arabia. We collected 250 meat samples and identified 53 isolates, with 79% being methicillin-sensitive (MSSA) and 21% being MRSA. Moreover, we included 80 clinically confirmed patient-derived MRSA isolates.

Isolation of Staphylococcus aureus Urinary Tract Infections at a Community-Based Healthcare Center in Riyadh.

Background The aim of this study was to assess the clinical presentation, risk factors, and comorbidities of the patients with bacteriuria, and to analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility data of isolated from their urine samples. Methods A total of 90 isolates of  were collected from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Urinalysis was performed manually, including macroscopic examination of color and appearance, and microscopic examination for the presence of urinary WBCs, RBCs, and bacteria.

Effective treatment of resistant opportunistic fungi associated with immuno-compromised individuals using silver biosynthesized nanoparticles.

Drug resistance in filamentous fungus to antifungal medicines is a huge problem in biomedical applications; so, an effective strategy for treating opportunistic fungal infections is needed. is a very fascinating plant to treat a variety of ailments as home remedies. Eighteen strains of species were used for this study which are having a unique antifungal resistance profile in presence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
