Knowledge regarding helicobacter pylori infection among patients in hail region of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Helicobacter pylori () is a gram-negative widely prevalent bacterium that is known to cause chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric carcinoma, and gastric lymphoma. Considering peptic ulcer patients will experience chronic relapse, eliminating in this population is significant to prevent further relapses. The treatment should be based on the comorbidities and patient preferences.

Multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria in ICU patients of a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia: distribution of carbapenemase genes in clinical and rectal swab samples.

Antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negative bacteria is a growing clinical challenge. This study aimed to assess bacterial distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility, and carbapenemase gene prevalence in clinical isolates. A total of 154 patients (mean age: 57.

Molecular and genetic analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to pose significant challenges in healthcare settings due to its multi-drug resistance (MDR) and virulence. This retrospective study examines the molecular and resistance profiles of MRSA isolates from a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia, providing valuable insights into regional epidemiology. A total of 190 MRSA strains were analysed to assess antimicrobial susceptibility, genetic diversity, and virulence factors.

Correlation between polio immunization coverage and overall morbidity and mortality for COVID-19: an epidemiological study.

We conducted the current analysis to determine the potential role of polio vaccination in the context of the spread of COVID-19. Data were extracted from the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Health Observatory data repository regarding the polio immunization coverage estimates and correlated to the overall morbidity and mortality for COVID-19 among different countries. Data were analyzed using R software version 4.
