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.

Currently there is no detailed, internationally agreed protocol defined to evaluate antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for Legionella pneumophila (required to establish epidemiological cut-off value or "ECOFF" boundaries); therefore, antimicrobial resistance in these isolates cannot be defined. AST methods utilising media containing activated charcoal as an ingredient, to enable Legionella growth, are unreliable as noted in an internationally authored opinion paper and a new gold standard is required. Here we define a detailed protocol for broth microdilution (BMD) using defined cell culture collection-deposited control reference strains (Philadelphia-1 and Knoxville-1) as well as two accessible reference strains with moderately (lpeAB-carrying) and markedly (23S rRNA mutation-carrying) elevated azithromycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).

Department of Infectious Diseases, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital, Hefei, Anhui, 230022, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of azithromycin in the treatment of pediatric pneumonia and its impact on platelet count and D-dimer levels.
Methods: A comparison was made between the two groups regarding clinical treatment effects, recovery status, levels of blood indicators [C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT), D-dimer (D-D)], and the occurrence of adverse reactions. The control group received conventional symptomatic treatment, while the case group received both conventional treatment and azithromycin.

Human babesiosis is a malaria-like, tick-borne infectious disease with a global distribution. Babesiosis is caused by intraerythrocytic, apicomplexan parasites of the genus Babesia. In the United States, human babesiosis is caused by Babesia microti and Babesia duncani.
