Nasal Carriage, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profile, and Enterotoxin Genes of Isolated from Children with Asthma.

Unlabelled: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects children worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests that contributes to the pathology of asthma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nasal carriage, antimicrobial susceptibility profile, and presence of enterotoxin genes from isolated from children with asthma.

Dataset on rbcL-based intra-specific diversity and population structure of (Jacq.) in Nigeria.

African locust bean () is a multipurpose leguminous tree species of nutritional and pharmacological value. The plant is widely distributed in Africa and across Nigeria's major agroecological areas (AEAs). Amidst declining cultivation and production, is genetically threatened in its natural habitats due to overexploitation, deforestation, wildfires and lack of improved tree management practices.

Emerging vancomycin-non susceptible coagulase negative Staphylococci associated with skin and soft tissue infections.

Backgrounds: Observable emergence of Vancomycin-Non susceptible Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (VNS-CoNS) associated with skin and soft tissue infections spreading among the urban and rural populace is gradually intensifying severe complications. The isolated VNS-CoNS were evaluated with Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption/ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI ToF MS) for species characterization and pan-antimicrobial resistance pattern.

Methods: Out of 256 clinical samples collected including pus, abscess, ear swabs, eye swabs, and aspirates, 91 CoNS isolates were biotyped and further characterized with MALDI-TOF MS.

First Detection of Carbapenem-Resistant Strains Harbouring Beta-Lactamase Genes from Clinical Samples.

Recently discovered extraintestinal obtained from non-clinical samples has exhibited the potential for acquiring multiple beta-lactamase genes, just like many extraintestinal strains. Albeit, they are often omitted or classified as . This study aimed to, therefore, identify carbapenem-resistant extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing isolates from clinical samples, determine their evolutionary relatedness using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis and screen for beta-lactamase genes.
