Phenotypic and Genotypic Analyses of Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates From Outpatient Blood Samples in Mukuru Slum, Nairobi, Kenya

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Bloodstream infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and its methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA) represent a major clinical challenge, contributing to prolonged illness, increased healthcare costs, and high mortality worldwide. In low‐resource settings, these infections are further aggravated by overcrowding, poor sanitation,

Unveiling Antimalarial Drug Resistance: The Role of CRISPR‐Cas Technologies in Malaria Research

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, remains a global health burden, with drug resistance threatening control efforts. CRISPR‐Cas technologies, particularly CRISPR‐Cas9, have transformed malaria research by enabling precise genetic manipulations to study antimalarial resistance mechanisms, develop novel therapeutics and enhance ...

Cost-effectiveness of malaria diagnosis using rapid diagnostic tests compared to microscopy or clinical symptoms alone in Afghanistan [PDF]

, 2015
Background Improving access to parasitological diagnosis of malaria is a central strategy for control and elimination of the disease. Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are relatively easy to perform and could be used in primary level clinics to ...

Epidemiological and Clinical Profile of Fixed Pigmented Erythema at the Departmental University Hospital Center Borgou/Alibori (Benin)

Dermatology Research and Practice, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Fixed pigmented erythema (FPE) is a common toxidermia characterized by the appearance of one or more annular, erythematous and hyperpigmented spots, following the systemic administration of a drug. The main aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of fixed pigmented erythema at the Departmental University ...

Origin and evolution of sulfadoxine resistant Plasmodium falciparum.

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
The Thailand-Cambodia border is the epicenter for drug-resistant falciparum malaria. Previous studies have shown that chloroquine (CQ) and pyrimethamine resistance originated in this region and eventually spread to other Asian countries and Africa ...

A randomized controlled pilot trial of azithromycin or artesunate added to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine as treatment for malaria in pregnant women. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
New anti-malarial regimens are urgently needed in sub-Saharan Africa because of the increase in drug resistance. We investigated the safety and efficacy of azithromycin or artesunate combined with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine used for treatment of malaria ...
