Background And Objectives: is a common pathogen associated with healthcare-related infections. It is particularly notable for its ability to develop resistance to multiple antibiotics, making treatment challenging. During the COVID-19 pandemic, increased antibiotic use to manage critically ill patients was contributed to the rise of multidrug-resistant .

Background: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the surge in hospital admissions and widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics have heightened the risk of hospital-acquired infections from multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms, particularly . It is imperative to implement stringent measures to curb the spread of antimicrobial resistance in hospitals and devise robust treatment strategies for patients grappling with such infections. To confront this challenge, a comprehensive study was undertaken to examine MDR extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (MDR-ESBL)-producing isolates from patients with nosocomial infections following the COVID-19 pandemic in Northern Iran.

Background And Objectives: The main cause of mortality in burn patients is infection from burns. Drug-resistant bacteria are the main causes of wound infection, so alternative antibiotic therapies hold significant importance. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of a collagen hydrogel that contains a nanoemulsion of essential oil on the healing process of infected burn wounds.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines antibiotic resistance trends in Northern Iran following the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting concerns about overuse of antibiotics during that time.
  • Over 2,190 clinical samples from healthcare-associated infections were analyzed, showing 100% resistance to co-amoxiclav and 29.82% resistance to piperacillin/tazobactam, with colistin being the most effective against multi-drug resistant bacteria.
  • The findings indicate significant multi-drug resistance, suggesting piperacillin/tazobactam as a preferred treatment option for these infections.

The remarkable application of tin oxide in various domains is indebted to its photoelectronic merits. However, significant efforts to discover its photocatalytic potential were restricted through arduous challenges, which were the amelioration of light-harvesting and -utilizing. In fact, the uncommon light absorption energy has drawn veil over the brilliance of astounding oxidation potential, which is much more than that of TiO.
