Rationale: group bacteria (MABS) cause lethal infections in people with chronic lung diseases. Transmission mechanisms remain poorly understood; the detection of dominant circulating clones (DCCs) has suggested potential for person-to-person transmission.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the role of drinking water in the transmission of MABS.

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a nationally notifiable illness in Canada due to its potential severity and transmissibility. Vaccination strategies differ by province/territory and are informed by changes in the antigenic characteristics of circulating strains. Though IMD statistics are tracked at a provincial/territorial level, there is a lack of published data characterizing trends in the epidemiology of this disease at a national level.

Objective: This research aims to investigate the epidemiology and genetic changes of Shigella species in the cities of Qazvin and Tehran from 2003 to 2023, with a focus on assessing antibiotic resistance among the isolates. This study is based on the analysis of 80 Shigella isolates, which were obtained from patients' feces.
Results: Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) as the primary typing method, the isolates were classified into 13 distinct clusters, revealing a dominant pattern that has persisted for over twenty years.

Background: The investigation into virulence factors, clinical and molecular characteristics, and resistance mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) in pediatric populations is currently inadequate.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the virulence factors, clinical and molecular characteristics, and resistance mechanisms of 135 CRPA isolates in Shanghai, China.
Methods: Analysis of virulence-associated genes and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) provided epidemiological and molecular insights into the isolates.

Background: Development of polymyxin resistance in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) poses a severe challenge to public health. Here we aimed to perform a retrospective study of prevalence and molecular characteristics of polymyxin-resistant CRKP strains.
Methods: 4455 clinical CRKP strains from 18 provinces in China during 2000 to 2023 were collected.
