Article Synopsis
- Research on antimicrobial resistance in Group B Streptococcus (GBS) isolates from Saudi Arabia is limited; this study analyzes 204 clinical isolates for genetic resistance to antibiotics.
- Findings revealed high resistance rates to tetracycline (76.47%) and moderate resistance to erythromycin (36.76%) and clindamycin (25.49%); specific resistance genes were identified for different antibiotic classes.
- The research highlights a concerning spread of antibiotic resistance across serotypes, emphasizing the need for ongoing surveillance and careful antibiotic prescribing in healthcare settings.
Background: Small colony variants (SCVs) are biotypes of bacteria that have a size of approximately one-tenth or less of the wild types and has distinct characteristics comparing to the wild type strains. Clinical SCVs are usually associated with persistent infection and require a long-term treatment program with antibiotics. In Saudi Arabia, there are few studies about SCVs Escherichia coli for this reason, this study is aimed to investigate the ability of gentamicin to mutate E.

Methods: Here, we sequenced 37 isolates of , 10 , and 5 collected from the biobank of the hospital setting of the King Fahad Medical City. Complete phenotypic analyses were performed, including MALDI-TOF identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing.
Context: Extensive research on Rhus (Anacardiaceae) shows their antioxidant potential, which warrants further evaluation of its other species.
Objective: To perform a comparative antioxidant assay on extracts of R. retinorrhoea and R.
