✅ The result of our work indicates that SAA might potentially be used for the early diagnosis of COVID disease, but more studies are needed.

✅ The current review describes the presence of MRSA, VRSA and VRE in different food samples of animal and plant origin in Iran. Databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, SID, and Google Scholar were searched and a total of 65 articles were retrieved (published between 2006 and September 2020) reporting antibiotic-resistant S. aureus and Enterococcus in food in Iran.

✅ Among the most important conclusions that can be inferred from the trend of word change used in the COVID-19 literature is that the most significant words in international literature differ significantly from those in national literature, as international research focuses on COVID-19 and the infections caused by it. In contrast, national research focuses on COVID-19 and patients. Another significant result is the annual word-changing national and international literature.

✅ Due to the increase in overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of extended-spectrum antibiotic-resistant strains and this has burdened the treatment of infections caused by these microorganisms.

✅ Accordingly, the extract of A. visnaga can decrease the expression of the Exotoxin A and S genes of P. aeruginosa and consequently it may decrease the pathogenicity of bacteria. These phenomena (exoA and exoS expression inhibition) may involve reducing the antibiotic resistance of P. aeruginosa.

✅ Our study showed the existence of some Omicron-related mutations before the emergence of this variant in Khuzestan Province, Iran. In addition, it Strengthened the possibility of unconfirmed variants, such as Epsilon entering Iran. It also provided a reference for studies that need to be aware of the circulating variants in Iran.

✅ The dropping of the hematological markers in COVID-19 is linked with a noticeably increased mortality rate, while high neutrophil and BS levels are related to aggravation of the disease. Monitoring the hematological markers can contribute significantly to selecting the proper treatment and hamper of disease worsening.

✅ For the last few years, antibiotic resistance has become one of the major concerns within medical society. On one hand, pathogens have mostly acquired resistance against the major conventional antibiotics used in the treatment of microbial infections. These included even first-line antibiotics, which are critical in the treatment of severe infections. This catastrophic situation has occurred due to the extensively irresponsible use of antibiotics in humans and veterinary medicines, agriculture, aquaculture and animal breeding.
