✅ Based on our results, trimethoprim, doxycycline, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and gentamicin were effective, but rifampicin had lower susceptibility. This informs antibiotic selection for Brucella infections, underscoring its importance in managing the disease.

✅  Highlights:

• The frequency of virulence and housekeeping genes accounted for more than 50%.

• The highest resistance rate was to the most β-lactam antibiotics (100.0%).

• The highest susceptibility was to imipenem (94.4%).

✅ Results demonstrated an important prevalence of acute respiratory infections among children and improved data on the epidemiology of respiratory viruses among children living in Al-Ahsa province in Saudi Arabia.

✅ In this study, HBV antigen prevalence was 2%, and OBI prevalence was 1%, indicating a low HBV incidence in HD patients. Our study underscores the importance of lifestyle improvement, increased awareness among lower-educated and lower-skilled individuals, and rigorous disinfection practices in managing risk factors for hemodialysis patients, including HBV and OBI.

✅ The study found a significant difference in some bacterial strains between patients with OSSN and those without OSSN. Understanding the function and composition of the ocular surface microbiome can provide insights into ocular surface diseases.

✅ Identifying and quantifying Porphyromonas gingivalis and other periodontal infections using various methods in plaque samples is crucial.

✅ According to the research findings, L. rhamnosus strain IDC-D21 is recommended for application as a coculture in the dairy industry. Indeed, it has the best probiotic and technical features.

✅ Based on our results, the ethanolic extract of the loquat plant was effective in inhibiting the growth of most dermatophytes to a significant extent, but the Fusarium genus was less sensitive. This is useful in choosing plant extracts in treating dermatophytes, which confirms their importance and their containment of beneficial active compounds.

✅ Ultrasound had a greater effect on the protoscolices’ mortality than albendazole sulfoxide and the lethality was associated with intensity (F=64.467, P=0.001) and exposure duration (F=179.932, P=0.001).
