This research sought to investigate the association between the occurrence of the and genes and the strength of biofilm formation, as well as to assess the efficacy of vancomycin and ceftaroline against strains obtained from skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). A total of 134  isolates were collected from SSTI patients and identified through standard microbiological techniques. Vancomycin and ceftaroline susceptibility testing were performed using the agar dilution and disc diffusion methods, respectively.

Two populations of Physalis patula Miller collected in different localities (Querétaro and Teotihuacán) of Central México were analyzed. Eight new compounds including three withanolides, physapatolides A-C (1-3), two labdanes, 12-epi-physacoztomatin (10) and physapatulone (12), besides three 12-O-glucosyl labdanes, patulosides A-C (13-15), were isolated from these collections. A series of known withanolides, flavonoids, labdanes, sucrose esters, and sterols were also isolated.

Background: Long-term comprehensive studies on the genomic epidemiology of both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) isolates are limited in China. Here, we aimed to assess the genomic epidemiological characteristics and population dynamics of S.

Objective: Currently, there is a limited amount of published data on the incidence of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) in most parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Thus, it is extremely important to have information concerning the distribution and prevalence of MRSA and MSSA to better handle and manage future epidemics.  This study aimed to investigate the correlation between MRSA and/or MSSA with BSI at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
