Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the growing issue of antibiotic resistance, particularly concerning ESBL-producing bacteria in patients with biliary obstruction and cholangitis.
- Approximately 23.5% of patients studied had ESBL-producing E. coli or K. pneumoniae, with a significant proportion diagnosed with cholangitis.
- The findings suggest that relying on third-generation cephalosporins for treating cholangitis may pose risks, emphasizing the need for alternative treatment strategies.
Background And Objectives: Leptospirosis is an infectious zoonotic disease that can result in severe complications. It is widespread, especially in hot and humid climates such as the northern region of Iran. The immune responses to leptospirosis are multifaceted.

Diagnostic tests with high sensitivity are necessary both to distinguish infected vaccinated animals and execute disease control programs for the identification of the carrier animals. The current strategies for the detection of FMD virus are mainly based on the capture antibody (sandwich) ELISA test.

We attempted to determine the genetic and antigenic properties of the O/PanAsia-2/QOM-15 foot-and-mouth disease virus new vaccine strain. Thus, whole-genome sequencing was used to identify vulnerable pinpoint sites across the genome.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and antibiotic resistance pattern of isolates of patients referred to the gynecology clinic of Shahriar Noor Hospital by PCR and culture methods.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 500 patients who had suffered from a vaginal infection.
