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.

Necrotizing Pneumonia Caused by PVL‐Negative Methicillin‐Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Complicated by Refractory Pneumothorax: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Here we report a case of PVL‐negative MSSA necrotizing pneumonia in a previously healthy man that rapidly progressed to cavitary lesions and refractory pneumothorax. Despite its improvement after clindamycin‐based therapy, the patient experienced recurrent pneumothorax and chronic respiratory failure.

Characterization of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from milk samples of dairy cows in small holder farms of North-Western Ethiopia

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background Staphylococcus aureus is a contagious, opportunistic pathogen that causes clinical or subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle. The genetic background and antimicrobial resistance of isolates from Ethiopian dairy farms has not been studied ...

Virulence factors in coagulase-positive staphylococci of veterinary interest other than Staphylococcus aureus

Veterinary Quarterly, 2020
Coagulase-positive Staphylococci (CoPS) can exist as commensals in humans, companion and food-producing animals, but can cause severe or even lethal diseases. Exchange of these bacteria between humans and animals has been described. Special attention has

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

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
