Trichosporon infection in chronic kidney disease patients from a tertiary care hospital - a case series or an outbreak? An unanswered question but a well-managed problem.

While the majority of spp. isolated in clinical laboratories are typically associated with episodes of colonization or superficial infections, this fungal species has gained recognition as an opportunistic pathogen, leading to invasive infections worldwide. In this article, we present a case series of spp.

Genomic analysis of colistin and carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae GC29.

Objectives: This study aims to sequence and analyze a clinical strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae (GC29) focusing on its antibiotic resistance profiles, virulence traits, and evolutionary lineage.

Antibiofilm potential of gallic acid against and : and analysis.

Biofilm refers to a community of microorganisms that adhere to a substrate and play a crucial role in microbial pathogenesis and developing infections associated with medical devices. and are classified as significant nosocomial pathogens within the ESKAPE category and cause diverse infections. In addition to their reputation as prolific biofilm formers, these pathogens are increasingly becoming drug-resistant and pose a substantial threat to the healthcare setting.

Zika a Vector Borne Disease Detected in Newer States of India Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic.
