Synergy testing of levofloxacin and meropenem by Etest and time-kill assay (TKA) was performed against 30 genetically unique clinical Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates. Synergy was demonstrated in 18/30 (60%) isolates by Etest and in 13/30 (43%) by TKA; the remaining isolates were indifferent. Methods showed agreement for 25/30 (83%) of isolates.

An a (AEF) is a rare but life-threatening condition where an abnormal connection forms between the aorta and the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly the duodenum. It can be primary (arising spontaneously due to an aortic aneurysm or infection) or secondary (complicating prior vascular surgery). Immediate recognition and surgical intervention are critical to manage severe gastrointestinal bleeding and prevent fatal outcomes.

Background: Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by (BP). Despite global control of pertussis cases through the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), there has been a significant increase in the incidence of pertussis in recent years, characterized by a "resurgence" in developed countries with high immunization rates as well as a comparable reemergence in certain areas of China. We aim to explore the genotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of circulating BP from children in Hebei.

Unlabelled: Bacteriophages (phages) are bacterial-specific viruses that can be used alone or with antibiotics to reduce bacterial load. Most phages are unsuitable for therapy because they are "temperate" and can integrate into the host genome, forming a lysogen that is protected from subsequent phage infections. However, integrated phages can be awakened by stressors such as antibiotics.

Aerococcus urinae is an uncommon uropathogen that mainly affect the elderly with predisposing conditions. Aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) by A. urinae and determine the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the isolates, over the last 3 years at our institution.

Background: The local antibiogram is essential to prevent the development of multidrug-resistant organisms. The aim of the study was to find out the synchronization of empirical antibiotics with the sensitivity pattern of the urine culture report and to study the differences in the organisms and sensitivity patterns in urinary tract infection (UTI) with and without other comorbidities.
Materials And Methods: UTI, diagnosed by a positive urine culture report of 300 consecutive patients above the age of 18, was studied retrospectively.
