Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) develops from complex interactions among environmental, host and pathogenic factors. This study aimed to phenotypically identify isolated from cattle with BRD and assess antimicrobial susceptibility and determining the molecular phylogeny of local strains. Between November 2023 and March 2024, nasal swabs were collected from 93 cattle with BRD, before culturing for phenotypic analysis, and performing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for molecular characterisation.

Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are the most common infections in humans accounting for significant morbidity and mortality. Management of LRTIs is complicated due to increasing antimicrobial resistance. This study investigated the prevalence and trends of antimicrobial resistance for bacteria isolated from respiratory samples of patients with LRTIs.

The global race against antimicrobial resistance requires novel antimicrobials that are not only effective in killing specific bacteria, but also minimize the emergence of new resistances. Recently, CRISPR/Cas-based antimicrobials were proposed to address killing specificity with encouraging results. However, the emergence of target sequence mutations triggered by Cas-cleavage was identified as an escape strategy, posing the risk of generating new antibiotic-resistance gene (ARG) variants.

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the bacterial profile and their antibiotic spectrum in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and investigate the risk factors for VAP and the presence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was included 105 patients with clinically suspected VAP in intensive care units (ICUs) of two university hospitals from Syria, between January 2023 and February 2024. Culture-positive included 69 samples (65.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa presents a significant treatment challenge, necessitating effective antimicrobial options. This retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted at Dammam Medical Complex and aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), ceftolozane-tazobactam (C-T), and meropenem and colistin in treating MDR P. aeruginosa infections.
