The world faces multiple public health emergencies simultaneously, such as COVID-19 and Monkeypox (mpox). mpox, from being a neglected disease, has emerged global threat that spread to more than 100 nonendemic countries, even been spreading for 3 years now. general mpox symptoms are similar chickenpox measles, thus leading possible misdiagnosis. This study aimed at facilitating rapid high-brevity diagnosis. Reportedly, circulates among particular groups, sexually promiscuous gay bisexuals....
Enterobacteriaceae have been classified as severely drug resistant bacteria by the World Health Organization due to their extensive production and dissemination of carbapenemases (CPs) extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL). The current study was conducted with aim determine prevalence CP- ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, well antibiotic susceptibility profiles. For this, a hospital-based which included 384 participants bacterial infections. collection processing specimens per standard...
The high rates of bacterial infections affect the economy worldwide by contributing to increase in morbidity and treatment costs. present cross-sectional study was carried out evaluate prevalence infection urinary tract (UTI) patients antimicrobial resistance rate (AMR) a Tertiary Care Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. conducted for period one year from January 2020 December 2020. A total 1899 different clinical samples were collected examined cultures using standard procedures. Samples inoculated...
Human Parainfluenza Virus (HPIV) Type-1, which is an anti-sense ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus belonging to the paramyxoviridae family, induces upper and lower respiratory tract infections. The infections caused by HPIV Type-1 are usually confined northwestern regions of America. HPIV-1 causes through virulence hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein, plays a key role in attachment viral particle with host's receptor cells. To best our knowledge, there no effective antiviral drugs or vaccines...
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant health concern in India, especially among households with children and young adolescents aged 6–17 years. Despite ongoing research, there is knowledge gap regarding specific risk factors for TB within this demographic. This study aims to bridge by examining the association between various socio-demographic factors, including socioeconomic status, nutritional environmental conditions. Utilizing data from National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 4th 5th...
is mainly responsible for sepsis, urethritis, and respiratory tract infections. These bacteria may affect the transcription of host particularly their immune system by producing changes in epigenetics. In present study, four proteins
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a leading cause of treatment failure for many infectious diseases worldwide. Improper overdosing and the misuse antibiotics contributes significantly to emergence drug-resistant bacteria. The co-contamination heavy metals antibiotic compounds existing in environment might also be involved spread AMR. current study was designed test efficacy (arsenic) induced AMR patterns clinically isolated extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing A total 300...
To analyze the impact of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) Multidimensional Approach (IMA) and use INICC Surveillance Online System (ISOS) on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rates in Saudi Arabia from September 2013 to February 2017. A multicenter, prospective, before–after surveillance study 14,961 patients 37 intensive care units (ICUs) 22 hospitals. During baseline, we performed outcome VAP applying definitions CDC/NHSN. intervention, implemented IMA...
In response to the escalating threat of drug-resistant fungi human health, there is an urgent need for innovative strategies. Our focus on addressing this challenge by exploring a previously untapped target, yeast casein kinase (Yck2), as potential space antifungal development. To identify promising candidates, we conducted thorough screening diverse-lib drug-like molecule library, comprising 99,288 molecules. Five notable compounds with IDs 24334243, 24342416, 17516746, 17407455, and...
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major causative agent of mastitis and resistant to many antibiotics. Thus, there need characterize the genetic determinants S. erythromycin resistance, such as ermA, ermB ermC. The current study aimed determine phenotypic genotypic resistance profile relatedness recovered from bovine humans in close contact. A total 14 mastitis-infected buffalo milk samples 16 their respective milkers were collected different farms Lahore, Pakistan. antibiotic was...
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, also known as RdRp, is a possible therapeutic target that could be used to suppress the proliferation of viruses such SARS-CoV-2. This protein has two major functional sites (a) catalytic and (b) substrate entry, which regulate natural entry its corresponding interaction with protein. In this study, computational drug design pipeline was applied investigate potential inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 RdRp from Lauraceae plants, five top hits were selected based on...
Background The rise in infections caused by penicillin-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae has become a global concern. However, the magnitude this problem Southwest Saudi Arabia never been investigated. Therefore, study aims to determine prevalence bacteria region using vitro data. Materials and methods This retrospectively studied pneumococcal isolates collected Microbiology Laboratory general hospital Al Baha, Arabia, from January 2013 December 2017. A minimum inhibitory...
Globally, the novel corona virus infection has continued to witness a growing number of cases since December 2019 when outbreak was discovered and noted in China. Despite this not been well studied for case COVID-19, human contact, public moveableness environmental variables could have an impact onairborne’spropagation continuance, such as influenza virus. This study aimed determine seasonal variation geographical distribution COVID-19 across Nigeria. An internet based archival research...
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a highly morphic, retrovirus that rapidly evolves through mutation as well recombination. Because of the immunocompromised status in HIV patients, there often higher chance acquiring different secondary infections followed by liver cirrhosis, hepatitis B & C, and HIV-associated nephropathy. current study was conducted to see prevalence infections, hematological biochemical markers for renal associated diseases, detect envelope gene (GP41) newly...
