Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the necessity for resilient healthcare systems, especially regarding antibiotic stewardship in hospitals like those in Abu Dhabi.
- This study evaluates the maturity levels of antibiotic stewardship programs in a general hospital by analyzing prescribing practices and the hospital's readiness for managing infectious disease outbreaks from data on non-surgical patients aged 25-40.
- Findings from the study of 240 cases indicated key insights into antibiotic usage patterns, including an average treatment duration and instances of duplicate therapy, which will help improve antibiotic management during health crises.

Nosocomial infections are a serious threat and difficult to cure due to rising antibiotic resistance in pathogens and biofilms. Direct exposure to cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been widely employed in numerous biological research endeavors. Nonetheless, plasma-treated liquids (PTLs) formulated with physiological solutions may offer additional benefits such as enhanced portability, and biocompatibility.

() is a leading cause of nosocomial infections associated with a high mortality rate and represents a serious threat to human health and the increasing frequency of antimicrobial resistance. Cancer patients are more vulnerable to invasive infection due to ulcerative lesions in mucosal surfaces and immune suppression secondary to chemotherapy. In our in vitro study, we observed that probiotics have the potential to yield beneficial effects on intestinal epithelial cells infected with .
