Clinical spectrum of fusariosis from a tertiary care center in India- a retrospective study
CONCLUSION: Traumatic injuries were the major cause of infections in the present study. As Fusarium is a virulent and highly resistant pathogen, an early suspicion and an appropriate diagnosis would lead to a better outcome in these patients.PMID:38682054 | PMC:PMC11055442 | DOI:10.18502/ijm.v16i1.14884 (Source: Iranian Journal of Microbiology)

< em > In vitro < /em > evaluation of inhibitory effect of < em > Lactobacillus reuteri < /em > supernatant on the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 and expression of < em > UL54, UL52 < /em > and < em > UL27 < /em > genes
CONCLUSION: The study findings indicated that the supernatant of L. reuteri has a potent anti-HSV-1 effect especially if it is incubated with the virus before inoculation into the cell. Its possible antiviral mechanism is to inhibit the virus by binding to it or changing the surface structure of the virus. Metabolites of L. reuteri can be considered as a novel inhibitor of HSV-1 infection.PMID:38682053 | PMC:PMC11055432 | DOI:10.18502/ijm.v16i1.14877 (Source: Iranian Journal of Microbiology)

Early detection of oral bacteria causing gum infections and dental caries in children
CONCLUSION: There were significant associations between dental/oral health and microbial community. Metabolism of the oral bacteria, including biofilm formation, can affect gums and develop dental plaques and hence dental caries, especially in children. Early diagnosis of dental caries in children via rapid, accurate molecular methods can increase the diagnostic capacity in clinical cases and therefore prevent periodontal infections in adulthood.PMID:38682052 | PMC:PMC11055450 | DOI:10.18502/ijm.v16i1.14870 (Source: Iranian Journal of Microbiology)

The antibiogram of pus cultures in federal tertiary care hospital, Islamabad and its utility in antimicrobial stewardship
CONCLUSION: The generation of a local antibiogram specific to the hospital setting is essential to effectively manage infections empirically and preserve the efficacy of existing antibiotics. By implementing antimicrobial stewardship practices based on a better understanding of antibiotic susceptibility patterns, we can contribute to the mitigation of antibiotic resistance and improve patient outcomes.PMID:38682051 | PMC:PMC11055436 | DOI:10.18502/ijm.v16i1.14871 (Source: Iranian Journal of Microbiology)

Italian peninsula as a hybridization zone of Ixodes inopinatus and I. ricinus and the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in I. inopinatus, I. ricinus, and their hybrids
Ixodes inopinatus was described from Spain on the basis of morphology and partial sequencing of 16S ribosomal DNA. However, several studies suggested that morphological differences between I. inopinatus and Ixode... (Source: Parasites and Vectors)

Epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns of bacterial meningitis among hospitalized patients at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia: a six-year retrospective study
ConclusionThe study highlights the substantial burden of bacterial meningitis among hospitalized patients, especially among high-risk groups. Emerging antimicrobial resistance emphasizes the need for optimized surveillance and stewardship. Future prospective research employing molecular techniques across multiple centers in the country is warranted to enhance understanding and guide public health strategies in Saudi Arabia.

Stalk rot species diversity and molecular phylogeny associated with diseased maize in India
AbstractStalk rot disease is a major constraint in maize production and till date reported to be caused by two to three species of phytopathogenic fungi but, in our present study, we disclose the first report of stalk rot is caused by complex species of phytopathogens, which belongs to five different genera. Therefore, to substantiate these findings, a total of 105 diseased samples of maize were collected from 21 different locations in six different geographical locations of India from which 48 isolates were used for the research study. Morphological features such as pigmentation, colony color, type of mycelium and pattern...
