In 1,494 pregnant women (on weeks 32-36) staphylococcal carriership was studied. One-third of the women under investigation were found to be carriers, their bacterial discharge increasing in spring and summer. The isolated strains proved to be polyresistant to antibiotics and belonged to epidemic strains. About a half of Staphylococcus aureus strains could not be identified with the use of the international set of phages.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are characterized by dynamic wound microbiome, the timely and accurate identification of pathogens in the clinic is required to initiate precise and individualized treatment. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has been a useful supplement to routine culture method for the etiological diagnosis of DFUs. In this study, we utilized a routine culture method and mNGS to analyze the same DFU wound samples and the results were compared.

Purpose: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication that has been extensively investigated in large joint arthroplasty. However, this has been inconsistently reported after metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) arthroplasty. The objective of the study was to report the presentation and treatment of patients with PJI after MCP or PIP joint arthroplasty.

Antimicrobial resistance and impaired bone regeneration are the great challenges in treating infected bone defects. Its recurrent and resistant nature, high incidence rate, long-term hospitalization, and high medical costs have driven the efforts of the scientific community to develop new therapies to improve the situation. Considering the complex microenvironment and persistent mechanisms mediated by resistant bacteria, it is crucial to develop an implant with enhanced osseointegration and sustained and effective infection clearance effects.

Background: Echocardiographic evaluation of vegetations is crucial in infective endocarditis (IE). Although several studies have noted a link between larger vegetations and an increased risk of embolization, a more comprehensive evaluation of vegetation characteristics in a contemporary cohort has not been conducted. Our study aimed to define the short-term risk of symptomatic embolization in patients with IE.

Introduction: The emergence of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is a growing public health concern. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and multi-drug resistant (MDR) profiles of MRSA in goats in Bangladesh.
Methodology: A total of 150 samples from goats comprised of rectal swab (n = 50), nasal swab (n = 50), and milk (n = 50) were collected.
