Aims: Physiological changes during pregnancy can infuence the performance of blood glucose meters. This study aimed to evaluate the analytical and clinical accuracy of glucose meters in pregnant women with hyperglycaemia.

Materials And Methods: Glucose was measured by four commonly used meters among consecutive women with diabetes in pregnancy.

Exploring the Anti-Adherence Potential of Skt35 to Combat Catheter-Associated Staphylococcus aureus Infections: Efficacy, Toxicity and Mechanism of Action.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), often caused by biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus, present significant clinical challenges. Skt35, a dioxopiperidinamide derivative of cinnamic acid, was investigated for its potential antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against S. aureus biofilms.

Houseflies (Musca domestica) as vectors of multidrug-resistant, ESBL-producing Escherichia coli in broiler poultry farms of North India: implications for antibiotic resistance transmission.

The transmission of antibiotic resistance (AR) from farm animals to healthy human communities, beyond the food chain, is often facilitated by biological vectors, notably houseflies (Musca domestica). This study aimed to evaluate the role of M. domestica collected from commercial broiler chicken farms as a carrier of multidrug-resistant (MDR), extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli.
