In the recent years, the epidemiology of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) has changed worldwide. This is remarkably noticed with the significant increase in high-risk populations. Although surveillance of such infections is essential, data in the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region remain scarce. In this paper, we reviewed the existing ...

An emergence of a novel coronavirus, causative agent of COVID19, named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), occurred due to cross-species transmission. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses able to infect a great number of hosts. Entrance of SARS-CoV-2 depends on the surface (S) protein interaction with host ACE2 p...

Background Some studies have shown that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an effective drug in reducing the in vitro replication of SARS-CoV-2. However, the in vivo effect of HCQ still unclear. Objectives This study aims to evaluate viral load clearance in patients with COVID-19 who underwent HCQ treatment in comparison with a control group that did not ...

Avian coronavirus (AvCoV/IBV) is a virus with high morbidity, which can cause respiratory, digestive, renal, and reproductive diseases in chickens. Molecular detection and sequencing are the main tool for identification and classification of AvCoV. Thirty-six samples were collected in three broiler farms from different regions in Colombia, due to m...

There are different studies that aim to enhance the production of nisin by Lactococcus lactis since its chemical synthesis is not possible. In this study, glutathione (GSH) and pyruvate, which are known to reduce the oxidative stress of cells, have been shown to trigger the production of nisin at both transcriptional and translational levels in L. ...

Candida parapsilosis produces biofilm, which colonizes catheters and other invasive medical devices that are manipulated by health care workers. In previous studies, C. parapsilosis in vitro biofilms have exhibited high resistance rates against conventional antifungals, but susceptibility to both echinocandins and lipid formulations of amphotericin...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is one of the Gram-negative bacilli most frequently found in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients. This opportunistic pathogen is intrinsically multidrug-resistant, and therefore, its treatment presents a challenge. The genetic characterization of S. maltophilia is largely unknown, especially from those strains that ...

Bacillus sp. strain QHF158, a Gram-positive, spore-forming and parasporal crystal-secreting bacterium, was isolated from soil of Limushan National Forest Park in China. Here we present the significant feature of parasporal inclusions of this organism, together with the draft genome sequence and annotation. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that strai...

Each year, millions of people worldwide are affected by superficial mycoses, which are frequently caused by dermatophytes having affinity to the scalp, nails, hair and the stratum corneum of the skin. The changing reservoirs of zoophilic dermatophytes, the numerous reports of animal carrier status, and the increasing number of pets make the diagnos...
