In this study the antibiotic susceptibility pattern and bla genes were characterized in Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates that fingerprinted by rep-PCR and PFGE methods at Kurdistan Province, Iran. A total of 70 K. pneumoniae were isolated from clinical samples to detect the antimicrobial susceptibility, carbapenemase and MBL-producing isolates. The PCR assay was used to identify the bla genes. Isolates were typed by PFGE and Rep-PCR methods. The highest and lowest rates of resistance were observed in cefotaxime (67.1%) and imipenem (8.6%), respectively. The rate of blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-48 genes were 1 (1.4%) and 14 (20%) isolates, respectively. All were classified in 27 clusters by rep-PCR and 39 PFGE types. The low frequency of carbapenemase and MBL genes in this study are epidemiologically important.

Eravacycline is a broad-spectrum fluorocycline currently approved for complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs). In lung-infection models, it is effective against methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and tetracycline-resistant MRSA. As such, we aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model to evaluate eravacycline's pulmonary distribution and kinetics.

Purpose: The effective compound combination of Bufei Yishen formula III (ECC-BYF III) has shown protective effects against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its effect on mitochondrial dysfunction remains unclear. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of ECC-BYF III on mitochondrial dysfunction in COPD mice and elucidate its potential mechanisms.

Label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with machine learning (ML) techniques presents a promising approach for rapid pathogen identification. Previous studies have demonstrated that purine degradation metabolites are the primary contributors to SERS spectra; however, generating these distinguishable spectra typically requires a long incubation time (>10 h) at room temperature. Moreover, the lack of attention to spectral variations between strains of the same bacterial species has limited the generalizability of ML models in real-world applications.
