Rational use of antibiotic is the key approach to improve the antibiotic performance and tackling of the antimicrobial resistance. The efficacy of antimicrobials are influenced by many factors: (1) bacterial status (susceptibility and resistance, tolerance, persistence, biofilm) and inoculum size; (2) antimicrobial concentrations [mutant selection window (MSW) and sub-inhibitory concentration]; (3) host factors (serum effect and impact on gut micro-biota). Additional understandings regarding the linkage between antimicrobial usages, bacterial status and host response offers us new insights and encourage the struggle for the designing of antimicrobial treatment regimens that reaching better clinical outcome and minimizing the emergence of resistance at the same time.

: Managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity requires a multidimensional, patient-centered approach including nutritional interventions (NIs) and physical activity. Changes in the gut microbiota (GM) have been linked to obesity and the metabolic alterations typical of T2DM and obesity, and they are strongly influenced by diet. However, few studies have evaluated the effects on the GM of a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) in patients with T2DM, especially in the mid-term and long-term.

Animal skin acts as the barrier against invasion by pathogens and microbial colonizers. Environmental microbiota plays a significant role in shaping these microbial communities, which, in turn, have profound implications for host health. Previous research has focused on characterizing microorganisms on bats' skin and in their roosting environments, particularly bacterial communities.

Background: Human brucellosis is the most common bacterial zoonosis worldwide, with brucella spondylitis (BS) being one of its most severe forms, potentially leading to spinal deformity or paralysis. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status and research trends in the BS field using bibliometric methods.
Methods: Publications on BS from January 1, 1980, to March 24, 2024, were retrieved from the Web of Science database.

Delirium is a highly prevalent neuropsychiatric syndrome characterised by acute and fluctuating impairments in attention and cognition. Mechanisms driving delirium are poorly understood but it has been suggested that blood cytokines and chemokines cross the blood brain barrier during delirium, directly impairing brain function. It is not known whether these molecules reach higher brain levels when the blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) is impaired.

Purulent bacterial pericarditis is a rare and progressive infection with a high mortality. It is rarely due to , a commensal bacteria found in the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and the genitourinary tract. Here we present a 71-year-old man with history of esophageal adenocarcinoma, status post distal esophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy 2 years prior, who developed cardiac tamponade secondary to primary purulent bacterial pericarditis in the absence of an esophago-pericardial fistula.
