Background: For infections antifungal therapy is often empirical and mainly depends on locally antifungal surveillance data, which differs between geographic regions.
Aims: To monitor the epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility of spp. from combined axillar-groin samples in intensive care unit (ICU) patients on admission (day1, D1), day 5 (D5) and day 8 (D8).

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) interventions in interrupting transmission have paid heavy losses politically and economically. The Chinese government has replaced scaling up testing with monitoring focus groups and randomly supervising sampling, encouraging scientific research on the COVID-19 transmission curve to be confirmed by constructing epidemiological models, which include statistical models, computer simulations, mathematical illustrations of the pathogen and its effects, and several other methodologies. Although predicting and forecasting the propagation of COVID-19 are valuable, they nevertheless present an enormous challenge.

The antimicrobial properties and widespread incorporation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into consumer products have raised concerns about their potential impact on public health and the environment. This study examined citrate-coated and uncoated AgNPs' antimicrobial effects on microbial growth and their potential to induce antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the natural environment. We isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella spp.

Objective: To determine risk factors, microbiology, and prognosis of diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 456 persons diagnosed with diabetic foot (DF) disease admitted to a Grade-A tertiary hospital from January 2012 to December 2022. Multifactorial Cox regression was used to analyze independent risk factors for DFO.

Objectives: Increasing resistance to antimicrobials used for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infections necessitates reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Current guidelines take a one-size-fits-all approach and/or offer limited guidance. We investigated how the choice of medium affects measured MIC values across two sites.
