The diagnosis of STB is mainly based on clinicoradiological observations substantiated by bacterial culture, staining, Gene Xpert, and histopathology. The purpose of the study was to correlate these methods to evaluate the effectiveness in the diagnosis of STB. A total of 178 clinicoradiologically suspected cases of STB were included in the study. ...
The aim is to compare the pathogen detection performance of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and the culturing of percutaneous needle biopsy samples obtained from an individual with a suspected spinal infection. A retrospective study of 141 individuals with a suspected spinal infection was conducted, and mNGS was performed. The microbi...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) typically cause opportunistic pulmonary infections and reliable laboratory results can assist with diagnosis of disease. Microscopy can detect acid-fast bacilli from specimens though it has poor sensitivity. Solid and liquid culture are used to grow NTM, which are identified by molecular or protein-based assays. Be...

Upper Palaeolithic sites in southwestern France attributed to the Upper Gravettian and the Solutrean yielded sub spherical gravels with a highly shiny appearance that have intrigued researchers since the 1930s. In this work, we analyze specimens from five sites, including the recently excavated Solutrean site of Landry, to establish whether their p...
