Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder characterized by defective chloride ion transport, leading to thickened mucus in the airways. This viscous environment predisposes patients…
Nosocomial pneumonia, particularly ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), remains one of the most prevalent and severe hospital-acquired infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a non-fermenting Gram-negative bacillus, ranks among the…
Neonatal meningitis remains a critical condition with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Effective treatment depends not only on early diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy but…
Listeria monocytogenes, a facultative intracellular Gram-positive bacillus, poses significant treatment challenges, particularly in septicemic forms of infection affecting immunocompromised individuals, neonates, pregnant women, and the…
Klebsiella pneumoniae meningitis presents a critical challenge, particularly when the strain exhibits multidrug resistance (MDR). Synergistic antibiotic therapy is pivotal for maximizing clinical efficacy and…
Group B Streptococcus (GBS), scientifically known as Streptococcus agalactiae, is a Gram-positive bacterium that is a leading cause of septicemia, particularly in neonates and immunocompromised…
Escherichia coli (E. coli), a Gram-negative bacillus, is one of the most common etiologic agents of bacterial meningitis, especially in neonates and immunocompromised individuals. Among…
Enterococcal infections, primarily caused by Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, represent a significant challenge in clinical settings due to their inherent resistance mechanisms and capacity…
Enterococcal endocarditis, predominantly caused by Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, is a severe manifestation of infective endocarditis (IE) characterized by high morbidity and therapeutic complexity.…
Enterobacter species, particularly Enterobacter cloacae and Enterobacter aerogenes, are opportunistic pathogens that can lead to meningitis, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems. Although Enterobacter…
