Widespread macrolide resistance among rapidly growing mycobacteria due to plasmids containing erm(55)

Scientific Reports
Macrolides (clarithromycin and azithromycin) are a mainstay of therapy for infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM). Historically, macrolide resistance in RGM species is associated with mutations in the 23S rRNA gene and chromosomal ...

Evaluating the efficacy of HRZE-based regimens in a high-burden murine model: a back-translational assessment of rifamycins and moxifloxacin substitutions in tuberculosis treatment

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionThe standard treatment for tuberculosis is the isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (HRZE) regimen. Despite its efficacy, this regimen has limitations, including prolonged treatment duration and poor clinical outcomes in drug ...

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

An Overview of Foodborne Risks in Afghanistan

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foodborne diseases represent a serious yet underrecognized public health burden in Afghanistan, a country shaped by decades of conflict, weak infrastructure, and limited regulatory capacity. This article provides a comprehensive overview of major foodborne risks in the country, including microbiological hazards, chemical contaminants, and ...
