Susceptibility Patterns of ESBL Positive Uropathogenic Escherichia coli to CLSI Recommended Group Drugs for Enterobacteriaceae
Abstract: Bacterial pathogens causing acute infections are increasingly exhibiting resistance to the commonly used antibiotics and have thus become a great threat to public health. The failure of empirical therapy is frequently observed, even in community-acquired urinary tract infections. We, therefore, conducted a study in 2009-10 to find out what proportion of urinary tract infections with Escherichia coli were caused by ESBL producers, the assessment susceptibility pattern of ESBL positive and …

Climate Change and the Spread of Pathogens: Implications for Public Health
Abstract: Climate change plays a significant role in the spread of infectious diseases by shifting how pathogens behave, affecting how vulnerable hosts are, and changing the way diseases are transmitted.Rising global temperatures, changing precipitation levels, and extreme weather events are accelerating the spread of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, increasing the risk of outbreaks worldwide. Warmer conditions favor the survival and expansion of vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, and Zika …

Clinical Fusariosis in India: Taxonomy, Pathogenesis, and Therapeutic Challenges
Abstract: Fusarium species are emerging opportunistic pathogens in humans, responsible for a wide spectrum of infections ranging from superficial keratitis and onychomycosis to life-threatening disseminated disease in immunocompromised hosts. Historically regarded as plant pathogens and environmental saprophytes, these hyaline moulds have become clinically relevant with the increasing use of intensive chemotherapy, haematopoietic stemcell and solidorgan transplantation, and widespread use of broadspectrum antibiotics and corticosteroids. In India, Fusarium assumes particular importance due …

Types of Fungi Species Attacking Mulberry, Symptoms, and Their Interaction
Abstract: Mulberry trees (Morus spp.) are essential in sericulture since their leaves are the primary source of nutrition for silkworms (Bombyx mori L.). The cultivation of mulberry trees has long been integral to the silk industry, particularly in countries like China, India, and Japan. However, like all agricultural crops, mulberry trees are vulnerable to a variety of pests and pathogens including fungi. Fungal diseases can have a profound impact on mulberry …

Decoding the Mycobacterium tuberculosis–Macrophage Interplay: From Immune Defense to Pathogen Persistence
Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and has been responsible for over one billion deaths worldwide over the past two centuries, remaining a major global health challenge despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. The barriers that make tuberculosis difficult to treat and eliminate are inextricably tied to its intracellular habitat. However, a research gap lies in understanding the molecular mechanisms of its survival and …

Hybrid Authentication Scheme Based on Cyber Physical System Use in Agriculture
Abstract: Recently, the agriculture industry has seen the application of artificial intelligence (AI). To maximize yield, the industry must overcome a number of obstacles, including poor soil management, infection by pests and pathogens, the need for huge information, low output, and a technological lack of clarity among farm owners. The core principles of intelligence in farmland are expense, precision, good speed, and scalability. This study reviews the various applications of artificial …

In vitro Demonstration of Biofilm Formation on Catheter Materials by Candida Species Isolated from Blood Stream Infections
Abstract: In recent years, a progressive increase in the frequency of nosocomial candidaemia has been observed. Candidaemia due to vascular catheters are on the rise. There are many associated risk factors such as the type of patient, catheter location, frequency of change of cannulae, duration of catheterization, etc. Candida species produce biofilms on synthetic materials, which facilitate adhesion of the organisms to devices and render them relatively refractory to medical therapy. …

Evaluating Linezolid: A Comprehensive Analysis
Abstract: Treatments for infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant staphylococci and VRE, including skin and soft tissue infections, community-acquired pneumonia, and other infections treated with linezolid, an oxazolidinone antimicrobial agent that functions by specifically inhibiting protein synthesis. Even while antibiotic resistance is becoming more frequent in many nations, linezolid resistance among these pathogens is still low, typically less than 1%. Thus, the emergence of resistance in clinical isolates should …

A Chronological Review on Preclinical and Clinical Evaluation of Antimicrobial Sutures
Abstract: Incidence of various infections is increasing with increased number of surgeries. Widespread common surgery procedures are associated with a 1–11% risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) which occur when pathogenic organisms proliferate in surgical wounds, result in impede wound healing, cause separation of the wound edges (dehiscence), and increase the risk of abscess in deeper wound tissues. Surgical site infection increases morbidity and mortality of postoperative patients and require prolonged …

Molecular Characterization of Abiotic Stress Tolerant Chickpea Rhizobia
Abstract: Rhizobacteria are root-colonizing bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship with many legumes. Though parasitic varieties of rhizobacteria exist, the term usually refers to bacteria that form a relationship beneficial for both the parties (mutualism). Such bacteria are often referred to as plant growth promoting rhizobacterias (PGPRs). Though microbial inoculants are indisputably beneficial for crops, they are not widely used in industrial agriculture, as large-scale application techniques have yet to become …
