Angiogenesis and eosinophilia in the nasal mucosa of patients with different clinical phenotypes of chronic rhinosinusitis
Conclusions: Patients from AERD phenotype have the highest degree of stromal eosinophilic infiltration and endothelial proliferation in comparison to other CRS phenotypes. Eosininophil infiltration marker BMK13 correlates better with the clinical parameters of CRS in comparison to the vascular proliferation markers.

Comparison of two multiplex PCR tests for common pathogen detection in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infection
Conclusions: These two methods are comparable in detecting common pathogens of ARTIs in children. As XYres-MCA analysis is more cost-effective, it could play an important role in diagnosing ARTIs in children in less economically developed regions.

The role of TNF receptors as mediators of chronic vasculitis in possible milder forms of the CNS tuberculosis
Conclusions: The histopathological presentation of TB is not always limited to granulomas, abscesses, or meningitis; there are also clinical presentations characterized only with chronic inflammation of nervous and vascular tissue. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

Molecular epidemiological investigation of carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from intensive care unit patients of six geographical regions of Turkey
Conclusions: In Turkey, a polyclonal population of CC14 throughout the country and inter-hospital spread were indicated. The use of molecular typing tools will highlight understanding the transmission dynamics. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

Prevalence and antibacterial resistance patterns of uropathogenic staphylococci in Casablanca, Morocco
Conclusions: The prevalence and antibacterial resistance patterns of uropathogenic staphylococci in this study, with a high percentage of methicillin resistance, require careful consideration of antimicrobial therapy for staphylococcal UTIs.

Antibiotic resistance patterns of pediatric community-acquired urinary tract infections in a tertiary care center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Conclusions: Antibiotic resistance is a major concern worldwide due to misuse of antibiotics and subsequent rise of multidrug resistant organisms. Our findings highlight the rise in antibiotic resistance, particularly inE. coli strains. Furthermore, ESBL-producing bacteria were responsible for approximately one-third of UTIs. Our study emphasizes the importance of local antibiograms for pediatric community-acquired infections, as it guides clinicians in every center in the choice of appropriate empiric antibiotic treatment.

Prevalence and molecular determinants of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from Jazan, Saudi Arabia
Conclusions: The incidence of carbapenemase-producingK. pneumoniae in Jazan hospitals seemed to be high, confirming the continued prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Saudi Hospitals. We reportK. pneumoniae strain with triple carbapenemase genes in southern Saudi Arabia. The emergence of such an isolate could threaten patients and healthcare workers and requires great attention to rapid interventions to avoid further dissemination, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Serum vitamin D concentration in children with pneumonia and acute respiratory infections, risk factors for its low level
Conclusions: We found that children with pneumonia had a lower vitamin D level. We also found that poor nutrition and the age of the child (1 to 5 years) were risk factors for low vitamin D levels with respiratory infections. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

Evaluation of epidemiological and microbiological characteristics, clinical features, and outcomes of adult patients with infective endocarditis in Mashhad, Iran
Conclusions: In our study, the median age of IE onset was relatively low. The most frequent predisposing factor was a prosthetic valve or intracardiac device. The proportion of negative blood cultures was unacceptably high. Thus, our findings emphasize promoting laboratory infrastructure, developing a national protocol for early initiation of appropriate treatment, and eliminating predisposing factors.

Investigation of in vitro efficacy of quercetin-meropenem combination in carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates
Conclusions: Although the combination of quercetin and meropenem has a high synergistic effect in carbapenem-resistantK. pneumoniae isolates, it seems that the carbapenemase species affects this situation. however, more work is needed on this subject.
