Antibiotic resistance to poses a major public health threat, particularly in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. The emergence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains complicates treatment options, requiring a deeper understanding of their genetic makeup and potential therapeutic targets. This research delineated an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strain obtained from an ICU patient and telomeric temperate phage derived from hospital effluent.

- - The study investigates the oral microbiota differences between healthy individuals and those with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in the Middle East, highlighting the need for more research on this genetic disorder.
- - Saliva samples from 36 participants (18 with SCA and 18 healthy controls) were analyzed using next-generation sequencing to identify and quantify various bacterial species in their oral microbiomes.
- - Findings reveal that alterations in the oral microbiota may increase health complications for SCA patients, suggesting that salivary diagnostics could be useful for predicting and preventing related diseases in the future.
