: species have become significant sources of infections acquired in hospital settings and are commonly linked to high mortality rates. Antimicrobial resistance can be influenced by species, geographical location, antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods, and the time of bacterial isolation. There are distinct antimicrobial susceptibility patterns among species, and the investigation into potential antibiotic susceptibility variations among species is beneficial. There is no guidance on the treatment of species infections in the literature. Consequently, the purpose of this review was to elaborate on the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of species through a scoping review of existing studies on the antibiograms of the species and on the illness caused by species. : A comprehensive literature search in PubMed and Web of Science between 1 January 2000 and 30 April 2024 identified all studies, including those that examined antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and antimicrobial therapy of infections caused by species. I considered studies on antimicrobial susceptibility testing for species in which only broth microdilution methods and agar dilution methods were used. : The sensitivity levels of to piperacillin-tazobactam (5-100%), ciprofloxacin (0-43.4%), levofloxacin (30-81.8%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (0-100%), tigecycline (15-100%), minocycline (60-100%), and rifampicin (94-100%) varied. The sensitivity levels of to piperacillin-tazobactam (3.3-93.3%), ciprofloxacin (1-75%), levofloxacin (12-100%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (1.02-96.7%), tigecycline (0-52.2%), minocycline (97.5-100%), and rifampicin (20.5-96%) varied. The sensitivity levels of to piperacillin-tazobactam (41.6-94.0%), ciprofloxacin (14-75%), levofloxacin (77.0-100%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (18.0-100%), tigecycline (50%), minocycline (100%), and rifampicin (66-85.7%) varied. : The majority of the isolates of species were susceptible to minocycline and rifampin. This issue requires professional knowledge integration and treatment recommendations.

Purpose: Corynebacterium species are commensals of human skin and mucous membranes and are recognized as important pathogens in ocular infections. This study investigated the clinical characteristics of Corynebacterium keratitis.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases of bacterial keratitis in which Corynebacterium species were solely isolated from corneal scraping cultures collected at Ehime University Hospital between January 2010 and February 2024.

Microbial isolates from sugar crop processing facilities were tested for sensitivity to several industrial antimicrobial agents to determine optimal dosing. Hydritreat 2216 showed broad spectrum activity against all bacterial isolates as well as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sodium hypochlorite showed broad spectrum activity against all isolates, but at much higher effective concentrations.

Canine pyometra is a common and potentially life-threatening reproductive disorder in intact female dogs. This prospective study aimed to (1) investigate the bacterial spectrum and antimicrobial susceptibilities of bacterial isolates from the uterus and urine of dogs with pyometra, (2) assess the clonal relatedness and virulence factors of Escherichia coli isolates from individual dogs, and (3) determine the occurrence of concurrent and persistent bacteriuria or clinical urinary tract infections. Bacterial isolates from 208 uterine and 203 urine specimens collected during pyometra surgery were analyzed.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp; pneumococcus), the most common agent of community-acquired pneumonia, can spread systemically, particularly in the elderly, highlighting the need for adjunctive therapies. The airway epithelial barrier defends against bacteremia and is dependent upon apical junctional complex (AJC) proteins such as E-cadherin. After mouse lung challenge, pneumolysin (PLY), a key Sp virulence factor, stimulates epithelial secretion of an inflammatory eicosanoid, triggering the infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) that secrete high levels of neutrophil elastase (NE), thus promoting epithelial damage and systemic infection.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to pose significant challenges in healthcare settings due to its multi-drug resistance (MDR) and virulence. This retrospective study examines the molecular and resistance profiles of MRSA isolates from a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia, providing valuable insights into regional epidemiology. A total of 190 MRSA strains were analysed to assess antimicrobial susceptibility, genetic diversity, and virulence factors.
