COVID-19 and Acute Kidney Injury: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been associated with an increased mortality rate among hospitalized patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The current review aimed to evaluate the symptoms, complications, and treatments performed to manage AKI in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: We searched PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Embase for the relevant scientific literature published up to February 1, 2022.

Molecular analysis of integrons and antimicrobial resistance profile in Shigella spp. isolated from acute pediatric diarrhea patients.

spp. is a growing global health concern due to increasing multiple drug resistance, commonly resulting in therapeutic failure. Integrons are gene expression systems run by integrase genes.

Invasion of HEp-2 cells by Shigella spp. isolated from acute pediatric diarrhea.

infection is an important global health problem in developing countries where hygiene is poor and hence shigellosis is a main cause of diarrhoea-associated mortality and morbidity, particularly in children under the age of five. The bacterial entry into colon and rectal epithelial cells has been named 'bacterium-directed phagocytosis'. This term highlights that the bacteria actively stimulate their own uptake into non-professional phagocytes.
