Purpose Non-typhoidal salmonella (NTS) infection is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in children. Recently, NTS infections have increased, especially those associated with Salmonella Typhimurium, which has become a global problem because of its high level of drug resistance. Diseases caused by NTS serotypes vary considerably. We summarised ...

Background Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are easily misdiagnosed as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), and treatment drugs are very limited. The main objective of our study was to evaluate the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) in vitro of bedaquiline (BDQ), clofazimine (CFZ), linezolid (LZD), delamanid (DLM), and pretomanid (PA-824...

Bacterial and fungal infections are common issues for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Large, multinational point prevalence surveys have identified that up to 50% of ICU patients have a diagnosis of bacterial or fungal infection at any one time. Infection in the ICU is associated with its own challenges. Causative organisms often harbour...

Background Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a global and highly deleterious pathogen that creates an enormous pressure on global public health. Although several effective drugs have been used to treat tuberculosis, the emergence of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-MTB) has further increased the public health burden. The aim of...

Growing antibiotic resistance is among the most serious threats to public health, with antibiotic misuse considered a leading driver of the problem. One of the largest areas of misuse is in outpatient upper respiratory infections (URIs). The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of EZC Pak, a combination Echinacea-Zinc-Vitamin C dose...

Purpose Liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are progressions affected by genetic predispositions, and persistent hepatitis B virus infection also demonstrates genetic susceptibility. All HBV-related outcomes have been compared in parallel to identify risk polymorphism in HBV progression. Methods The multiple-stage association st...
