Emerging threats of high biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance in clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from Pakistan
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical MRSA strains exhibit a substantial potential for biofilm formation, contributing to a resistant phenotype. Routine antibiotic testing in clinical settings that overlook the biofilm aspect may lead to the failure of empiric antibiotic therapy.PMID:38614413 | DOI:10.1016/j.meegid.2024.105592 (Source: Infection, Genetics and Evolution)

Effects of Rifampicin Plus Levofloxacin or Isoniazid on Immune Function of Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with rifampicin + isoniazid, rifampicin + levofloxacin had a better clinical effect in the treatment of pulmonary TB and could effectively regulate patients' immune functions and inhibit inflammatory reactions. The current research team recommends that rifampicin + levofloxacin become the preferred treatment for pulmonary TB in the absence of a drug allergy.PMID:38607224 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Hospital-acquired pneumonia due to Burkholderia cepacia in a thalassemia pregnancy with postoperative eclampsia: A case report
Respir Med Case Rep. 2024 Apr 4;49:102021. doi: 10.1016/j.rmcr.2024.102021. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThere are limited case reports on individuals infected with Burkholderia cepacia who do not have typical risk factors, particularly pregnant women with beta-thalassemia. A 34-year-old pregnant female with beta-thalassemia trait and hypertension was admitted to the hospital. The patient was diagnosed with eclampsia and underwent a cesarean section. After two days following the surgery, the patient experienced hospitality-acquired pneumonia. B.cepacia was isolated from blood cultures, and antibiotic susceptibility testing ind...

A sophisticated virulence repertoire and colistin resistance of Citrobacter freundii ST150 from a patient with sepsis admitted to ICU in a tertiary care hospital in Uganda, East Africa: Insight from genomic and molecular docking analyses
Infect Genet Evol. 2024 Apr 9:105591. doi: 10.1016/j.meegid.2024.105591. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSepsis and multidrug resistance comprise a complex of factors attributable to mortality among intensive care unit (ICU) patients globally. Pathogens implicated in sepsis are diverse, and their virulence and drug resistance remain elusive. From a tertiary care hospital ICU in Uganda, we isolated a Citrobacter freundii strain RSM030 from a patient with sepsis and phenotypically tested it against a panel of 16 antibiotics including imipenem levofloxacin, cotrimoxazole and colistin, among others. We sequenced the organism's g...
