Selling antibiotics without prescriptions among community pharmacies and drug outlets: a simulated client study from Ghana
CONCLUSIONS: A very high prevalence/sub-optimal practice of selling antibiotics without prescriptions was found. This highlights the need to increase compliance with antibiotic dispensing legislation through evidence-based interventions including education of key stakeholders.PMID:37975725 | DOI:10.1080/14787210.2023.2283037 (Source: Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy)

The gut and lung microbiota in pulmonary tuberculosis: susceptibility, function, and new insights into treatment
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2023 Nov 16. doi: 10.1080/14787210.2023.2283036. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) that poses a major threat to human health.AREAS COVERED: Herein, we aim to review the alteration of the microbiota in gut and respiratory during TB development, the potential function and mechanisms of microbiota in the pathogenesis of Mtb infection, and the impact of antibiotic treatment on the microbiota. In addition, we discuss the potential new paradigm for the use of microbiota-based treatments such as prob...

Practical diagnostic algorithms for Chagas disease: a focus on low resource settings
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2023 Nov 7. doi: 10.1080/14787210.2023.2279110. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Chagas disease, caused by parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is the most important neglected tropical disease in the Americas. Two drugs are available for treatment, but access to them is challenging, in part due to complex diagnostic algorithms. These are stage-dependent, involve multiple tests and are ill-adapted to the reality of vast areas where the disease is endemic. Molecular and serologic tools are used to detect acute and chronic infections, with the performance of the latter showing geographic differe...

Advantages and limitations of current diagnostic laboratory approaches in syphilis and congenital syphilis
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2023 Nov 7. doi: 10.1080/14787210.2023.2280214. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The reemergence of syphilis, especially congenital syphilis, presents a significant public health threat. Accurate diagnosis of syphilis depends on recognition of a constellation of symptoms, review of medical and sexual history, and multiple laboratory tests. While reliable, current tests for syphilis can be difficult to interpret, which can lead to delays in treatment.AREA COVERED: This review summarizes the major advantages and limitations of available diagnostic laboratory methods for syphilis, provi...
