Nanozyme Aptasensor Array for Predictive Sensing of Virulent and Antibiotic‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus strains

Small, Volume 22, Issue 15, 12 March 2026.
An array‐based nanozyme‐aptamer platform for rapid, colorimetric fingerprinting of Staphylococcus aureus strains is reported. By combining differential aptamer dissociation with pattern‐recognition analysis, the sensor achieves strain‐level discrimination, infers virulence, and predicts the identification of previously unencountered strains, offering a

Venous Thromboembolism in Pediatric Musculoskeletal Infections: Diagnostic Challenges in a Resource‐Limited Setting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Axial CTPA‐intraluminal filling defect, located centrally within the left lower lobe pulmonary artery (center of crosshair). ABSTRACT Venous thromboembolism is a recognized but often underdiagnosed complication of pediatric musculoskeletal infections, particularly in low‐resource settings where access to Doppler ultrasonography, magnetic resonance ...

The European Union Summary Report on Antimicrobial Resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria from humans, animals and food in 2023–2024

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This report presents the main findings of the 2023–2024 harmonised antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring in Salmonella spp., Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from humans, food‐producing animals (broilers, laying hens, fattening turkeys, fattening pigs and bovines under 1 year of age), and derived meat.

Infection with Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–Positive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus t034

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)–positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), sequence type 398 is believed to be of animal origin. We report 2 cases of infection due to PVL–positive MRSA, spa type t034, in patients in Sweden who had had

Molecular Characterization of Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase‐Negative Staphylococci Isolates at a Rural Hospital in Southern Malawi

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives This study is aimed at identifying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence‐encoded genes in Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolates from a rural hospital in Southern Malawi. S. aureus isolates were further characterized by typing of staphylococcal protein A (spa). Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional

Prevalence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infections in a Saudi Arabian hospital

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2015
Summary: Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a two-component toxin associated with the toxicity and virulence of Staphylococcus aureus. The presence of PVL is well documented in community-acquired methicillin-resistant S.

Efficacy of Cold Atmospheric Plasma Against Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms: A Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus poses a serious threat to global health due to its resistance to conventional antibiotics and its ability to form resilient biofilms. Cold atmospheric plasma has emerged as a promising alternative for microbial biofilm inactivation. Objective To systematically evaluate the in vitro efficacy of cold

Clinical Prediction of Necrotizing Pneumonia in Children With Mycoplasma pneumoniae: A Model Based on Early Response to Therapy

Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objective This study aimed to identify factors that predict progression to necrotizing pneumonia (NP) in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) who fail to respond to initial therapy and to develop a predictive model to support early clinical decision‐making. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical and laboratory data of children with
