(Microbiology Society, 2020-11-10)Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) remains a major clinical pathogen and public health threat with few therapeutic options. The mobilome, resistome, methylome, virulome and phylogeography of CRKP in South ...
-
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020-12)Global expansion of antimicrobial drug–resistant Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131 is unrivaled among human bacteria. Understanding trends among ST131 clades will help with designing prevention strategies. We ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-02)Lower respiratory tract infections are important causes of morbidity and mortality. The global increase in antimicrobial resistance necessitates rapid diagnostic assays. The BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia plus (FAPP) panel ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020-08)Bedaquiline, a novel therapeutic drug, and clofazimine, a re-purposed drug, are front-line therapies recommended by WHO to treat rifampicin-resistant or multidrugresistant tuberculosis. Both drugs have been in use ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2020-06)BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious cause of death globally, and drug-resistant TB strains pose a serious threat to controlling the global TB epidemic. The clinical features, locations, and social factors ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2020-07)BACKGROUND: Community health workers (CHWs) are an essential cadre in the health systems of many low- and middle-income countries. These workers provide a wide variety of services and are key to ongoing processes of task ...
-
(Wiley, 2020-05)Increasingly, gut microbiota distortions are being implicated in the pathogenesis of several infectious and noninfectious diseases. Specifically, in the absence of an eubiotic microbiota, mice are more prone to colonization ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2020-12)BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains not detected by commercial molecular drug susceptibility testing (mDST) assays due to the RpoB I491F resistance mutation are threatening ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2020-12)BACKGROUND: Previous studies have described the association between dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiota (VMB) and related dysbiotic conditions, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and aerobic vaginitis (AV), and various adverse ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-04-10)Colistin has become a critical antibiotic for fatal Gram-negative infections owing to the proliferation of multidrug-resistant carbapenemase-producing bacteria. Thus, cheaper, faster, efficient and easier-touse colistin ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-01-23)Universal drug susceptibility testing (DST) is an important requirement of the End TB Strategy. The Sensititre broth micro-dilution assay (BMD) tests multiple drugs quantitatively. We defined interpretive criteria for ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)Antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is increasingly being implicated in invasive infections worldwide with high mortalities. Forty-two multidrug resistant (MDR) K. pneumoniae isolates were collected over a 4-month ...
-
(Wiley, 2021-12)Citrobacter spp., Enterobacter hormaechei subsp., Klebsiella variicola and Proteae tribe members are rarely isolated Enterobacterales increasingly implicated in nosocomial infections. Herein, we show that these species ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-11)The spread of carbapenem- and polymyxin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae poses a significant threat to public health, challenging clinicians worldwide with limited therapeutic options. This review describes the current coding ...
-
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2020-09)BACKGROUND. Streptococcus agalactiae or group B streptococcus (GBS) is a significant cause of neonatal sepsis. Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for pregnant women identified to be rectovaginally colonised ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-11)Neisseria gonorrhoeae antimicrobial drug resistance has emerged worldwide; however, the situation in sub-Saharan Africa is not well documented. We investigated the molecular epidemiology and occurrence of antimicrobial ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2020-12)BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a global health problem. The epidemic is very serious in sub-Saharan Africa with approximately 70% of the global cases. The disease particularly affects ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Introduction: Carbapenems and colistin are the last-line antibiotics for treating Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, increasing reports of resistance to these antibiotics is being reported in clinical settings, ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)PURPOSE : Overview of the evolving epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related ocular disease over time. METHOD : Narrative review. RESULTS : HIV enhances susceptibility to opportunistic eye infections, ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)Syphilis and HIV infection may coexist in the same individual. Ocular syphilis and/or neurosyphilis may develop at any stage of coinfection, with a stronger association between ocular and neurosyphilis in individuals living ...
