Medical and health science students are among the demographics most at risk from Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is a serious hazard to public health. The main reservoir for MRSA is the nasal cavity, and colonization of this area can raise the risk of infection and transmission in healthcare settings. This study aimed to assess the nasal carriage rate of MRSA among clinically affiliated students at Haramaya University, College of Health and Medicine Sciences, Ethiopia, from July to August 2022.

Objectives: Non-typhoidal (NTS) commonly causes a self-limiting illness but invasive disease (iNTS) can be life-threatening. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) increases the risk of mortality. This systematic review aimed to estimate the proportion of NTS isolated in those attending healthcare services, serovar burden, AMR, serovar-specific AMR, and case fatality rate (CFR) in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

Article Synopsis
  • Diloxanide is an effective treatment for asymptomatic amoebiasis, but its exact mechanism of action is not well understood despite its structural similarities to chloramphenicol.
  • It operates by inhibiting protein synthesis in the E. histolytica parasite, preventing the formation of more virulent cysts, and achieving a parasite clearance rate of 81-96%.
  • The study calls for further research into diloxanide's structure-activity relationship and suggests exploring new drug formulations and improved diagnostic methods to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce the risk of relapse.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to (i) determine the risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) development associated with antimicrobial use (AMU) and other exposure factors in broilers, and (ii) identify best management practices to mitigate preharvest AMR development of enteric bacteria alongside broiler production.

Methods: Study selection criteria comprised the population, exposure or intervention, comparator, and outcome framework and included broiler (population), AMU or other management practices (exposure or intervention), organic or antibiotic-free production (comparator), and the presence of AMR-enteric bacteria/genes (outcome). Peer-reviewed primary research studies were searched in PubMed on 19 December 2022, and AGRICOLA, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science on 10 February 2023.
