Treatment of infection 14-day concomitant quadruple therapy versus triple therapy: A parallel double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Background And Aims: Successful (Hp) eradication with the traditional 7-day course of proton pump inhibitor triple therapy is declining. Prolonging therapy to 14 days is associated with better eradication rates. Most learned societies recommend concomitant quadruple therapy (QC) as a first-line alternative therapy for this bacterial infection.

Comparative study of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in hospitals and community settings in the region of Monastir - Tunisia.

Introduction And Aim: Multidrug resistance in bacteria has become a widespread scourge. The objective of this study is to investigate the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) at Fattouma Bourguiba University Hospital of Monastir - Tunisia compared to the community and to define their antibiotic resistance profiles.

Methods: It was a retrospective and descriptive study over a period of 5 years (2016-2020) conducted at the microbiology department of Fattouma-Bourguiba University Hospital of Monastir - Tunisia.

Donor Age and Non-Relapse Mortality: Study of Their Association after HLA-Matched Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to study the correlation between donor age (DA) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) and relapse incidence (RI) among patients treated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (aHCT) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in a single Canadian center. Data from 125 consecutive patients transplanted with a matched related or unrelated donor between 2015 and 2020 were analyzed using multivariable models. After a median follow-up of 2.

Comparative study of virulence factors among methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates.

Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is recognized worldwide as a leading cause of hospital and community infections. Biofilm formation by MRSA is an extremely important virulence factor to be understood. Our aim was to establish phenotypic and genotypic characterization of virulence factors among 43 MRSA clinical isolates in a Tunisian hospital.
