Comparative Neurotoxicity of Polymyxin B and Colistin in Patients With Cancer
ABSTRACT Background The polymyxins, polymyxin B and colistin, are last‐line options for the treatment of infections caused by drug‐resistant gram‐negative organisms. The comparative neurotoxicity of these agents using contemporary dosing is poorly understood.

Conserved Asp233–Asp246 hydrogen bond modulates active site dynamics in class A β‐lactamases
Abstract Rigid enzymes catalyze chemical reactions by stabilizing the transition state through a specific conformation. Catalytic residues are precisely positioned, and enzyme dynamics are kept to a minimum. It is thought that conserved residues around the active site (second‐shell residues) play a crucial role in positioning catalytic residues. Asp233

Genomic and Phenotypic Classification of Staphylococcus Species Isolated From Delhi Air
Multiple Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from the outdoor polluted air of the Indian Capital, New Delhi. The bacterial samples were collected from 6 different locations, and the whole genome of four Staphylococcus isolates was sequenced in their entirety. This study presents the comparative genomic analysis of these four isolates.

ABSTRACT Background Meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam are commonly used empirical antibiotics in critically ill adults with sepsis, but whether one is superior to the other is uncertain. Methods The Empirical Meropenem versus Piperacillin/Tazobactam for Adult Patients with Sepsis (EMPRESS) trial is an ongoing investigator‐initiated, randomised ...

ABSTRACT Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are common in children and are diagnostically challenging, with cutaneous manifestations being the most common presentation. Patch testing (PT) is a well‐established tool for investigating delayed T‐cell‐mediated reactions and is widely used in patients with contact dermatitis.
