Mycobacterium avium complex bacteria cause chronic pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) in susceptible patients [1]. The recommended treatment regimen (rifampicin, ethambutol and azithromycin) achieves 65% cure rates but with considerable toxicity and drug-drug interactions [2,3]. Minocycline proved active in monotherapy experiments using the hollow-fibre model [4].

Background: Our previous study showed that antibiotic exposure was linked to depressive symptomatology in community-dwelling older adults in China. Our current study aims to explore the underlying mechanisms by assessing the intermediated effects of circulating short-chain organic acids (SCOAs) on this association.
Methods: Depressive symptoms were screened by the 30-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30).

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.

Antibiotics are indispensable in modern healthcare, playing a critical role in mitigating bacterial infections. Azithromycin is used to fight upper respiratory tract infections, however has potential toxic effects that remain inadequately understood. In our present study, azithromycin exposure to led to significant physiological and behavioral change, with pronounced effects observed at the studied concentration.

Background: Babesia is a tick-borne protozoan blood parasite that can cause hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, lethargy and splenomegaly in giant pandas.
Methods: We evaluated the efficacy and safety profile of a therapeutic regimen combining atovaquone and zithromycin in the context of babesiosis in giant pandas that have been naturally infected. The examined pandas underwent clinical and laboratory analyses, including hematology, biochemistry and thyroid hormone profiles.
