Article Abstract
Group A Streptococcus is one of the leading causes of otorrhea. The performance of rapid antigen tests in 256 children with otorrhea showed excellent sensitivity, 97.3% (95% confidence interval: 90.7%-99.7%), and specificity, 100% (95% confidence interval: 98.0%-100%). In a period of increasing invasive and noninvasive group A Streptococcus infections, an early diagnosis could be useful.

Objectives: Oral health is an important aspect of quality of life for older people, especially those with dementia. The impact of an active oral hygiene program on the oral microbiome was explored in a group of older participants (average age 84 years old) with dementia against a separate control group whose oral hygiene followed the status quo.
Materials And Methods: The oral cavity bacteriomes and mycobiomes were assessed from swabs of cheek, gum, and tongue surfaces.

This study aims to determine the molecular features and antimicrobial resistance of (Group B streptococcus, GBS) causing invasive and noninvasive infections in Korean adults. Sequence type (ST), capsular serotype, pilus island typing, and antimicrobial susceptibility were analyzed for GBS isolates obtained at a hospital laboratory that processed the primary clinical specimens collected from Korean adults between 2021 and 2024. Among the 90 isolates, Serotype VIII (34.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease globally, with rising prevalence linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS). Excessive liver fat accumulation (steatosis) worsens disease progression and MASLD prognosis. Moreover, gut microbiota dysbiosis might promote steatosis, accelerating the disease progression to severe stages.
