Seroprevalence of Bordetella pertussis infection in children 1-14 years old: Indonesia basic health research (Riskesdas) 2013 and 2018 data.

Bordetella pertussis infection is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can cause complications such as pneumonia and death. A total of 62,646 cases of pertussis worldwide were reported by WHO in 2022. This study aimed to obtain the pertussis seroprevalence and sociodemographic data in children aged 1-14 years and its association factors in the community based on Riskesdas 2013 and 2018.

The role of EII complex in the bacterial responses to the glucose-survey in clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.

Type 3 fimbriae in Klebsiella pneumoniae are important for bacterial colonization on abiotic and biotic surfaces. The major subunit of type 3 fimbriae (MrkA) is increased by overexpression of EtcABC, an EII complex of phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase systems (PTSs), through cAMP-cAMP receptor protein (cAMP-CRP) in K. pneumoniae STU1.

The effectiveness of hepatitis B vaccine in toddlers based on the five-year period national basic health research (Riskesdas 2007, 2013 and 2018) in Indonesia.

Background: Hepatitis B is a viral infection that has a high prevalence in Indonesia. The Ministry of Health of Indonesia has conducted a national vaccination program for hepatitis B. In order to evaluate the success of the hepatitis B vaccination in Indonesia, a community study based on basic health research (Riskesdas) was performed nationwide since 2007 for five year period in 2007, 2013, and 2018.

Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL)-producing and in Indonesia and South East Asian countries: GLASS Data 2018.

Antimicrobial resistance is the rising global health issue that should not be ignored. This problem needs to be addressed and professionally handled since it is starting to threaten global health, which eventually could lead to disaster. Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria were found threatening lives, since most antibiotics were found to not be effective in treating patients with infections caused by those bacteria.

The PTS Components in Affect Bacterial Capsular Polysaccharide Production and Macrophage Phagocytosis Resistance.

Capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is a crucial virulence factor for infection. We demonstrated an association of CPS production with two phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase systems (PTSs). Deficiency of , encoding enzyme IIA of PTS, in enhanced the transcriptional activities of , and , which are in the gene cluster, leading to high CPS production.
