    Abstract Background: The emergence and rapid spread of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains, such as methicillin-resistant
    Methods: In this study, we investigated the kinetics of biofilm formation and assessed various parameters related to the antimicrobial and antibiofilm efficacy of melittin and antibiotics, both alone and in combination, against MDR-MRSA and -VRSA. The antimicrobial parameters included the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICi), Fractional Bactericidal Concentration Index (FBCi), and the antibiofilm activity of melittin and antibiotics indicated by the Minimum Biofilm Inhibitory Concentration (MBIC), Minimal Biofilm Eradication Concentration (MBEC), Fractional Biofilm Inhibitory Concentration Index (FBICi), and Fractional Biofilm Eradication Concentration Index (FBECi).
    Results: The MIC results showed that all
    Conclusion: In conclusion, our study provides evidence that melittin is effective against both planktonik and biofilm forms of MRSA and VRSA and exhibits significant synergistic effects when combined with antibiotics. These results suggest that melittin and antibiotics could be a potential candidate for further investigation for

    Abstract Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the most important causes of death worldwide. The lack of timely attention on TB diagnosis and treatment during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a potential threat to health issues and may have severe consequences for patients and health systems. There is not much information on the management of TB during this period. Here, we reviewed the current literature to evaluate the rate of
    Methods: Several databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, and MEDLINE (via PubMed), were searched for original articles addressing TB and COVID-19 diseases published from December 2019 to April 2021.
    Results: Of 3,879 articles, 57 articles were included in this study, and among 106,033 patients affected by COVID-19, 891 also had TB. Overall, investigators found a consistent increase in C-reactive protein, D-dimer (especially in patients with severe clinical manifestation), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, and a reduction of lymphocytes. The respiratory symptoms of TB/COVID-19 patients were similar to those of TB patients, but the risk of developing pulmonary TB increased in COVID-19 patients. Also, the mortality rate in TB/COVID-19 patients was higher than that in patients affected only by COVID-19 or TB.
    Conclusion: Some reports indicated worsening respiratory symptoms and even activation of latent TB after COVID-19 or vice versa. It seems that both active and previously treated TB constituted a risk factor for COVID-19 in terms of severity and mortality, regardless of other underlying diseases and patient status. Health systems should not neglect TB during this era of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic by setting up appropriate diagnostic and clinical management algorithms.

    Abstract Colistin is considered as one of a last resort antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, the recent emergence of colistin resistance (ColR) worldwide that severely restricts therapeutic options is a serious threat to global public health. In this study we have investigated the molecular determinants in ColR K. pneumoniae isolates collected from clinical specimens. A total of 98 E. coli and 195 K. pneumoniae clinical isolates were collected from two hospitals from August 2018 to December 2019 in Tehran, Iran. Colistin susceptibility and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute by disk diffusion method, and microdilution method, respectively. For isolates with colistin MIC ≥4 μg mL-1, PCR was performed for the detection of mcr-1 to mcr-4 genes. Moreover, nucleotide sequences of mgrB, phoP, phoQ, pmrA, and pmrB genes were determined by sequencing. Finally, the transcriptional level of pmrK and pmrC genes was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). None of the E. coli isolates were resistant to colistin while 21 out 195 K. pneumoniae isolates were identified as resistant, 19 of which carried mutation in the mgrB gene. Three different mutations were observed in the pmrB gene in 3 K. pneumoniae isolates. None of the ColR isolates showed alternations in pmrA, phoP, and phoQ genes. Furthermore, none of the plasmid-encoding genes were detected. Transcriptional level of the pmrK gene increased in all ColR isolates meanwhile, pmrC overexpression was detected in 16 out 21 (76.19%) isolates. Eventually, all ColR isolates were susceptible to tigecycline. Our results demonstrated that the alternation of mgrB gene is the main mechanism related to colistin resistance among ColR K. pneumoniae isolates in this study.

    Abstract Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota's composition and function is important in developing insulin resistance and diabetes. Diabetes has also been linked to changes in the circulating and fecal metabolites. Evidence suggests the associations between the gut microbiota and the aberrant diabetes-related metabolome. Metabolites play a crucial role in the host-microbiota interactions. Researchers have used a combination of metagenomic and metabolomic approaches to investigate the relationships between gut microbial dysbiosis and metabolic abnormalities in diabetes. We summarized current discoveries on the associations between the gut microbiota and metabolites in type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes mellitus in the scoping review. According to research, the gut microbiota changes might involve in the development of diabetes through modulating the host's metabolic pathways such as immunity, energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. These results add to our understanding of the interplay between the host and gut microbiota metabolism.
