Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant global health threat by reducing the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics, particularly against pathogens like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This study investigates the antimicrobial potential of rhizospheric soil bacteria from Prosopis cineraria (Sangri) in the Thar Desert. Bacterial strains isolated from these samples were observed to produce secondary metabolites, notably, Iturin A C-15 cyclic lipopeptide (SS1-3-P) which was extracted from strain Enterobacter cloacae SS1-3 and was purified and characterized using reverse-phase HPLC, ESI-LC/MS, Nile-Red Assay, and FT-IR analysis.

Antimicrobial Resistance poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Microorganisms develop multi-drug resistance due to intrinsic factors, evolutionary chromosomal alterations, and horizontal gene transfer. , a common nosocomial bacterium, can cause various infections and is classified as multidrug-resistant.

Background And Objectives: Nosocomial pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria presents a significant challenge for healthcare systems, as there are limited effective treatments available. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to investigate the outcomes of colistin plus meropenem combination therapy on nosocomial pneumonia.
Materials And Methods: An exhaustive search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and Embase databases was conducted, resulting in the extraction of 5 studies for qualitative assessment and meta-analysis.

Background And Objectives: is a common pathogen associated with healthcare-related infections. It is particularly notable for its ability to develop resistance to multiple antibiotics, making treatment challenging. During the COVID-19 pandemic, increased antibiotic use to manage critically ill patients was contributed to the rise of multidrug-resistant .

Objective: The increase of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), especially carbapenem-resistant strains, is challenging for treating infections. This study investigated the antibiotic resistance pattern and frequency of carbapenem resistance genes (oxacillinase and metallo-beta-lactamase) in A.
