Abstract Background Serology and PCR testing methods have increased ability to diagnose Bartonella spp. invasive infections. Current treatment recommendations are based primarily on case series aging data published before newly available diagnostic techniques. These limited in safety effectiveness outcomes. This multicenter, retrospective cohort study describes the epidemiology outcomes of bart...

Abstract Acinetobacter baumanniiis a growing public health threat due to increasing incidence of carbapenem-resistant strains in U.S. hospitals. With widespread antibiotic resistance, there is an urgent need for alternative therapies treat these infections, which are often acquired hospital intensive care units. Antibody-based immunotherapies offer one potential treatment avenue, however, adapt...

Background and Objective: As a significant cause of nosocomial infections, Acinetobacter baumannii has been linked to opportunistic infections. The assessment of clonal relatedness of A. baumannii isolates using typing methods like ERIC-PCR is beneficial for controlling conditions due to these resistant isolates. This research aims to study Acinetobacter baumannii resistant isolates to multidru...

background: resistance to anti-tuberculosis (tb) drugs is a global problem. previous studies showed that the prevalence of primary mdr-tb is higher and has been increasing. the purpose of this study was to determine the primary drug resistance in strains isolated from patients with smear-positive of the new cases to anti-tb drugs. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 266 smear positive pulmo...
