Streptococcus species is considered as an important pathogen for human and animals. The antibiotic resistance mechanism in this species is continuously increased. On the other side, the tolerance of environmental stresses play an effective role in the severity of many streptococcal causative disease. In this study we assayed survey on the causative agents of pharyngitis and tonsillitis patients. The predominant causative strain was Streptococcus pyogenes with 93 % isolating ratio frequency. The other pathogenic species were S. agalactia 5.3 % and S. pneumonia 1.7 %. According to the antibiotic resistant test the S. pyogenes isolates were classified into six different groups. A selected strain from each antibiotic resistant group was tested for tolerance of a restrictive environmental factors. The variations of the environmental niches of isolates were in consistence with their antibiotic resistant variation.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) often prompt empiric outpatient antibiotic prescriptions, risking mismatches. This study evaluates the impact of "UTI Smart-Set" (UTIS), an AI-driven decision-support tool, on prescribing patterns and mismatches in a large outpatient organization. UTIS integrates machine learning forecasts of antibiotic resistance, patient data, and guidelines into a user-friendly order set for UTI management.

Antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus pose a significant threat in healthcare, demanding urgent therapeutic solutions. Combining bacteriophages with conventional antibiotics, an innovative approach termed phage-antibiotic synergy, presents a promising treatment avenue. However, to enable new treatment strategies, there is a pressing need for methods to assess their efficacy reliably and rapidly.

Introduction: The escalating resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials poses a significant public health threat. Strategies that use biomarkers to guide antimicrobial therapy-most notably Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP)-show promise in safely reducing patient antibiotic exposure. While CRP is less studied, it offers advantages such as lower cost and broader availability compared with PCT.
