Objective: To critically analyse literature on the anticancer properties of andrographolide in studies on gastric cancer cells.
Method: This study systematically reviewed articles from 2013 to 2024 across five prominent databases; PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, and Science Direct, EMBASE, Cochrane library and DOAJ. The study eligibility criteria include original studies assessing using gastric cancer cell lines and articles utilizing extracted andrographolide from or standard andrographolide source treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Fungi are opportunistic pathogens that can be dangerous for people with weakened immune systems, especially if diagnosed late.
- A new multiplex real-time PCR assay has been developed to quickly and accurately detect common fungal pathogens associated with invasive mycoses.
- The assay showed 100% specificity and can detect pathogens within three hours, making it a valuable tool for improving diagnosis in at-risk patients.
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging pathotype in addition to classical Klebsiella pneumoniae, with its ability to cause life-threatening, community-acquired metastatic infections even in healthy individuals. We presented a case of cerebral abscess preceded by otitis media in a 10-year-old child caused by hvKp. The isolates from blood pus aspirate were later identified as K.

Introduction: This study determined the distribution of sasX, qacA/B and mupA genes from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from clinical samples and nasal swab samples of the same patients and analysed their genetic relatedness.
Methods: Polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the presence of sasX, qacA/B and mupA genes from 47 paired MRSA isolates. A paired isolate was defined as one nasal swab (colonising) isolate and clinical isolate that caused infection in the same patient.
