Phenotypic and Genotypic Profile of Enterobacteriaceae Isolated at a Teaching Hospital in Ghana

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study identified a significant prevalence of antimicrobial resistance determinants within Enterobacteriaceae isolates, with particular emphasis on those producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBL). These isolates harbored diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), plasmid replicons, and virulence factors (VFs), highlighting the imperative for

Antifungal Susceptibility Profile of Aspergillus Strains Isolated From the Lower Respiratory Tract in Eastern Indian Patients: A Hospital‐Based Study

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Treatment for chronic to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis typically involves azole antifungal drugs, although studies have shown varying minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for these medications, with a growing concern over voriconazole resistance.

Distribution of Clba Gene and Its Correlation With Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns in MDR E. coli From Diverse Host Groups

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
The clbA gene, encoding the genotoxin colibactin, was present in 13.0% of Multidrug‐resistant (MDR) E. coli isolates, with a significantly higher prevalence observed in clinical patients (25.0%) compared to other host groups. clbA‐positive isolates demonstrated a markedly enhanced resistance profile, including 100% resistance to critical antibiotics ...

Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome in a Patient With Schizophrenia: A Case Report

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 45, Issue 4, December 2025.
A man with schizophrenia developed osmotic demyelination syndrome after rapid correction of polydipsia‐induced hyponatremia, presenting with pseudobulbar palsy & severe EPS. MRI confirmed pontine and basal ganglia lesions. This report highlights ODS as key differential from antipsychotic side effects.

Respiratory admissions and impact of COVID‐19 lockdowns for children with severe cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 1582-1589, December 2025.
In a population cohort of children with severe cerebral palsy, there was a reduced frequency of hospitalization for respiratory illness during periods of restricted social contact, implemented to reduce transmission of COVID‐19. This mirrored trends in the wider population and underlines the importance of community viral transmission in these children.
