Background: Global strategies aim to eradicate HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by 2030. We aim to assess HIV and other STIs morbidity trends from 1992 to 2021 across BRICS-plus (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), which accounts for nearly half of the world population.
Methods: HIV and other STIs morbidity estimates were derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

is the causative agent of the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea.

We previously reported that a linear cationic 12-amino acid cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) was bactericidal for . In this study, our objectives were to determine the effect of cyclization of the linear CPP on its antibacterial activity for and cytotoxicity for human cells. We compared the bactericidal effect of 4-hour treatment with the linear CPP to that of CPPs cyclized by a thioether or a disulfide bond on human challenge and multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains of grown in cell culture media with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
