Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as aluminum (Al)] is becoming a serious global problem due to the rapid development of the social economy. Although plant growth-promoting rhizo-bacteria (PGPR) are the major protectants to alleviate metal toxicity, the study of these bacteria to ameliorate the toxic effects of Al is limited. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of different levels of (5 ppm and 10 ppm) of accession number of MT123456 on plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, oxidative stress and response of antioxidant compounds (enzymatic and nonenzymatic), and their specific gene expression, sugars, nutritional status of the plant, organic acid exudation pattern and Al accumulation from the different parts of the plants, which was spiked with different levels of Al [0 µM (i.

Background: Rates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are rising in Thailand. Although high-dose (HD) sulbactam is recommended for treating carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii infections, data on plasma sulbactam concentrations in children are limited.

Sulbactam-durlobactam is approved for the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia caused by susceptible isolates of complex. Patients with serious infections may require support with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), which presents challenges for optimal dosing of antibiotics. Sulbactam-durlobactam dosing regimens were derived for this population using an CRRT model and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS).

Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) is a critical priority pathogen posing a substantial threat to our public health due to its virulence and resistance to broad-spectrum antimicrobials. Sulbactam-durlobactam (Xacduro) is a newly approved β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor combination agent with potent and activity against CRAB. The phase III randomized trial (ATTACK) demonstrated the safety and efficacy of sulbactam-durlobactam in combination with imipenem-cilastatin as background therapy in treating adult patients with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia caused by CRAB.

Background: Acinetobacter seifertii, a member of A baumannii-calcoaceticus complex, can be considered a pathogen of concern due to the presence of resistance genes. The aim of the study was to describe an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant A seifertii among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: All patients with carbapenem-resistant A seifertii diagnosed and admitted to the NICU from June 2023 to October 2023 were included.
