ABSTRACT The cefazolin inoculum effect (CzIE) has been associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infections. We aimed to investigate the point prevalence of CzIE among nasal colonizing MSSA isolates from ICU a multicenter study Colombia (2019–2023).

The coronavirus pandemic is a major public health crisis affecting global systems with dire socioeconomic consequences, especially in vulnerable regions such as Latin America (LATAM). There an urgent need for vaccine to help control contagion, reduce mortality and alleviate social costs. In this study, we propose rational multi-epitope candidate against SARS-CoV-2. Using bioinformatics, constructed library of potential peptides, based on the affinity most common human histocompatibility...

HIV infection makes carriers susceptible to develop a group of infections that would not normally be found in an immunocompetent patient. In Colombia, total 11,606 cases were reported 2015. This paper documents the case patient diagnosed with infection, who developed lesions typically caused by varicellazoster virus. These vesicular evolved into phlyctenas local necrosis. Given presentation, diagnosis skin immunocompromised or HIV-infected patients becomes challenge for health professionals...
