The increasing prevalence of infections due to metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Enterobacterales poses a serious concern given the limited treatment options available. This systematic literature review (SLR) describes the molecular epidemiology, geographical distribution, and clinical outcomes of such infections. Systematic searches of literature published between January 2013 and May 2023 were performed, and 39 studies with an MBL sample size of ≥25 isolates and ≥2 well-defined outcomes were eligible.

Compelling evidence suggests a significant association between antibody-mediated immune responses and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the exact causal relationships between these immune responses and MS remain unclear. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive examination of the link between antibody-mediated immune responses and MS via Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to identify specific infectious pathogens potentially involved in the onset and progression of MS.

Malaria is one of the most deadly infectious diseases, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of patients each year. Global efforts to combat malaria necessitate the implementation of novel rapid diagnostic tests deployable at the point of care. Here, we present the development of an electrochemical aptamer-based (EAB) sensor for the quantification of the malaria biomarker Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH).
