✅ These results show that ALG from Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases anti-alginate antibodies in conjugate form with exotoxin A and can be considered an appropriate, effective adjuvant.

✅ Isolated Lactobacillus brevis strain from the local Bazoft cheese has a good antimicrobial ability. By performing extra in vitro and in vivo tests, this native strain can be used more in medicines and the food industry.

✅ The results indicated that the used TaqMan duplex real-time PCR technique is specific and cost-effective and can be an excellent alternative to commercial kits for simultaneously detecting C. trachomatis and M. genitalium. Although the disadvantage of this method is its high cost, this disadvantage has significantly been resolved by the multiplex method.

✅ A 9-year study showed that 91.4% of the strains are still sensitive against amikacin which is a suitable treatment option in the studied strains. The establishment of antimicrobial stewardship programs and regular monitoring of antimicrobial resistance could help to reduce inappropriate prescribing for UTIs.

✅ The results have indicated that the usability of the Mask mobile application to prevent COVID-19 has been excellent. As a result of the study, mobile application developers might improve or modify their existing mobile health application designs to achieve optimal outcomes.

✅ Our study showed that E. coli isolates taken from patients mainly were MDR strain and resistant to many of the common antibiotics used to treat urinary tract infections. Using the correct dose of medication and multidrug therapy would be effective in reducing the incidence of antibiotic resistance.

 

✅ In summary, drug-resistant variants were detectable in most coinfected patients with chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) and HIV. As a result of mutations, therapeutic strategies sometimes are not effective. Therefore, recognition and monitoring of drug resistance mutations are critical.

✅ Acinetobacter spp., is considered as fast emerging opportunistic agents with evolving drug resistance. Rationale use of antibiotics is important and necessary to prevent microbial resistance. Gender is considered a risk factor for Acinetobacter infection.
