Implementation of isoniazid preventive therapy among people living with HIV in Northwestern Nigeria: Completion rate and predictive factors
Conclusion: IPT completion rate among PLHIV is relatively low, highlighting the need to strengthen IPT rollout in public health facilities in Nigeria. Pharmacy-led IPT adherence education and regular clinical evaluation may improve IPT completion rates, along with synchronizing and prepackaging IPT and ART resupplies for PLHIV.

Colonization of the preterm neonatal gut with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and its association with neonatal sepsis and maternal gut flora
Conclusions: The results show that neonatal gut is colonized by GNB from birth onward. However, the rate of colonization with CRO is low. An association was also observed between colonization and late-onset sepsis. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Phage types of Vibrio cholerae 01 biotype ELtor strains isolated from India during 2012 & #8211;2017
Conclusion: The current study identified phage type 27 as the most dominant type and serotype Ogawa was found continuous in circulation throughout the year which has caused recent cholera outbreaks in India during the past years. Phage sensitivity data propose an alternative cost-effective approach to prevent cholera outbreak by therapeutic uses of typing phages irrespective of origin or clonality of the strains.

Are treatment outcomes of patients with tuberculosis detected by active case finding different from those detected by passive case finding ?
Conclusion: High initial loss to follow-up, delay in treatment initiation, and poor treatment outcome among ACF patients are a major concern. The study results call for active follow-up after diagnosis and close monitoring during treatment for patients detected by ACF. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Isolation of a novel phage and targeting biofilms of drug-resistant oral enterococci
Conclusion: The study shows that the novel phage inhibits biofilm production in oral enterococci isolates from periodontitis patients but has a narrow host range. The role of bacteriophages as strong biotechnological and natural therapeutic agents for E. faecalis in chronic periodontitis can be considered. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)
