Talaromyces marneffei is a zoonotic dimorphic pathogen endemic to Southeast Asia and reported in 33 countries, with an estimated 17,300 human cases and 4900 deaths annually. We aimed to identify the best available evidence regarding the epidemiologic...
Acute diarrhoeal disease caused by antibiotic-resistant diarrhoeagenic bacteria is a significant global public health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study provides the first molecular characterisation of antimicrobial r...
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a global issue, causing health problems and financial burdens. This study aimed to provide an update on the invasive pathogens and analyze any associated factors in patients visiting Da Nang Dermato-Vener...
Hepatitis B and C (HBV and HCV) infections persist as significant public health concerns. Specific occupational groups, such as waste collectors, continue to face elevated risk due to exposure to contaminated materials. Research studies have undersco...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern in laboratory animals, where antibiotic use can disrupt the gut microbiome and promote resistant strains. Rabbits, commonly used in biomedical research, are particularly susceptible to gut dysbiosis...
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the most common causes of hospital-acquired infections worldwide, with significant clinical and economic implications. The aim of this review was to summarize the latest body of evidence on associations betw...
The vaginal microbiome can be perturbed by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, resulting in a state of dysbiosis that decreases the abundance of commensal lactobacilli and often leads to pathological conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast...
The human microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining host health through its considerable influence on immune function, nutrient metabolism, and overall homeostasis. While trace metals such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel are essential micronutrie...
In developing countries like Bangladesh, livestock is one of the main sources of income. Among several infectious diseases, the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus anthracis causes a zoonotic disease named anthrax. Animal anthrax outbreaks are a frequen...
The present study investigates the prevalence and diversity of Plasmodium and Trypanosoma infections in Allochrocebus solatus, a vulnerable primate species native to Gabon. Using molecular techniques like nested PCR and phylogenetic analysis, we foun...
Device-associated infections (DAIs) are a significant public health concern because of their attributable mortality, along with the extra length of stay and cost. This two- year prospective surveillance study aimed to assess the incidence of DAIs and...
Antibiotic resistance is a global health crisis exacerbated by the misuse of antibiotics in healthcare, agriculture, and the environment. In an intensive care unit (ICU), where high antibiotic usage, invasive procedures, and immunocompromised patient...
Cervical lymphadenitis in children, often caused by bacterial infections, may require surgical drainage if initial antibiotic treatment fails. Identifying factors associated with surgical intervention may aid in treatment decision-making and improve...
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that primarily target the lungs. The transmission of this disease occurs through the air in the form of droplet nuclei. Unfortunately, there has been an emergence of resistance to strains...
Laboratory-acquired infections (LAIs) pose significant risks to laboratory personnel, public health, and the environment, despite the implementation of biosafety measures. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of global LAIs reported from 1974...
