In the present research, we aimed to determine the characteristics of E. faecalis strains collected from an Iranian Children's Hospital for four years. Sixty-seven E. faecalis isolates with virulence genes detection, variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR), and multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) typing were investigated. A high frequency of virulence genes belonged to gelatinase (73%) and Enterococcus faecalis (62%). The MLVA of 67 E. faecalis isolates revealed 52 VNTR patterns and 38 MLVA types (MTs). Furthermore, genetic diversities with the majority of the MT1 as a major MT in different Wards of the Children's Hospital were found.

Introduction: Exposure to environmental factors ( air pollution and second-hand tobacco smoke) have been associated with impaired lung function. However, the impact of environmental factors on lung health is usually evaluated separately and not with an exposomic framework. In this regard, breath analysis could be a noninvasive tool for biomonitoring of global human environmental exposure.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and olfactory dysfunction (OD) are prevalent disease complications in people with cystic fibrosis. These understudied comorbidities significantly impact quality of life. The impact of highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT) in young children with cystic fibrosis (YCwCF) on these disease complications is unknown.
