China has now achieved the elimination of malaria, but it still faces severe challenges in the post-elimination stage. China continues to be plagued by imported malaria cases, and preventing re-transmission of imported malaria is critical. The effectiveness of antimalarial drugs for malaria control largely depends on the study of drug resistance markers . Monitoring molecular markers of parasite-associated drug resistance can help predict and manage drug resistance. There is currently a lack of systematic reviews of molecular markers for indigenous and imported malaria in China. Therefore, this review summarizes the published articles related to molecular marker polymorphism of indigenous and imported malaria cases in China in the past two decades, to study the mutation frequency and distribution of , , , and gene resistance-related loci. This can provide a whole picture of molecular markers and the resistance mutations of imported cases in China, which has certain significance for drug resistance surveillance planning, safe and effective treatment, and preventing the recurrence of local transmission by imported malaria in China in the future.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death in the world, despite being a preventable and curable disease. Irrespective of tremendous advancements in early detection and treatment, this disease still has high mortality rates. This is due to the development of antibiotic resistance, which significantly reduced the efficacy of antibiotics, rendering them useless against this bacterial infection.

Background: A liver abscess caused by hypervirulent can lead to multiple invasive extrahepatic infections, including lung abscesses, endophthalmitis, brain abscesses, and necrotizing fasciitis. This condition, known as liver abscess invasion syndrome, progresses rapidly and is associated with severe illness, high disability rates, and significant mortality. However, bloodstream infections with co-infection involving carbapenem-resistant are exceedingly rare.
