Study Eligibility Criteria: Eligible publication was screened independently by 2 reviewers.

Early detection of a possible multidrug-resistant outbreak in the local hospital setting by using random amplified polymorphism DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR), oxacillinase gene profiles, and antibiograms.

Background And Objectives: Detecting the source of a potential outbreak of multidrug resistant (MDR) is necessary to be investigated. This study aimed to detect the possibility of outbreak in a hospital setting using a combination of random amplified polymorphism DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR), antibiograms, and the presence of oxacillinase genes.

Materials And Methods: The antibiogram of 31 clinical isolates and six environmental isolates of were determined by Vitek® 2 Compact.

Weissella confusa F213 ameliorated inflammation and maintained intestinal mucosa integrity in chemically induced colitis rats.

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the potential effects of Weissella confusa F213 (WCF213) on chemically-induced colitis rats. Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: T1 (saline sterile), T2 (2.5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)- for 7 days), and T3 (WCF213 for 14 days, continued with 2.

A large cluster of human infections of in Bali, Indonesia.

A cluster of 18 inpatients and 21 outpatients with a major complaint of meningitis and a history of sharing traditional delicacies of raw pork and pig blood in a village festival led to the suspicion of meningitis in Sibang Kaja Village, Badung, Bali, Indonesia. We conducted an investigation and case finding to prevent human fatalities. Demography and laboratory examinations of the inpatients were recorded.

A Retrospective Analysis of the Bacterial Infections, Antibiotic Use, and Mortality Predictors of COVID-19 Patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the rate and profile of bacterial infections, mortality-associated predictors, and report the most common microorganisms and antibiotic use in coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) patients.

Patients And Methods: This study used a retrospective approach to evaluate the bacterial culture, antibiotic use, comorbidities, imaging, and laboratory discoveries of patients with COVID-19 (hospitalized) confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) between May and December 2020. We have selected 906 COVID-19 positive patients using a consecutive sampling technique and analyzed data using IBM SPSS-22 statistical software.
