Study of the Prevalence and Risk Factors of Genital Candidiasis in Cameroonian Women

Floride Enstelle Abondo Ngono,Kevin Fabrice Paul Mandeng,Souriou Soufianou,Charles Yvan Ella,Ahmadou Fadimatou,Elisée Libert Enyegue Embolo
Introduction: Genital candidiasis is a common fungal infection primarily affecting women. It is caused by yeasts of the genus Candida, mainly Candida albicans. This infection can lead to symptoms such as itching, burning, vaginal discharge, and pain during sexual intercourse, thereby affecting the quality of life of patients. The study examines the prevalence of vaginal candidiasis among women consulting at the Mbangassina Hospital in Cameroon. It identifies as...

Characterization of Multi-Drug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolated from Outpatient at Kabwe Central Hospital

Hudson Mumbole,Melissa Nakazwe
The prevalence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria has emerged as a significant public health concern, particularly among outpatients. In low-income countries like Zambia, infectious diseases stand as prominent contributors to mortality rates. The absence of robust indigenous data on pathogenic agents and antimicrobial resistance hampers the effectiveness of empirical treatment. The escalating concern of multi-drug resistance (MDR) across various diseases poses a significant pub...

Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Analysis of the Causal Relationship between Intestinal Flora and Childhood Obesity

Dewei Xu,Hong Wang
Objective: To evaluate the potential causal relationship between 182 gut microbiota and childhood obesity by two-sample Mendelian randomization. Methods: The data source was the summary data of genome-wide association study (GWAS), and 182 intestinal microbiota contained 874 single nucleotide diversity (SNPs). The childhood obesity data contained 2,442,739 SNPs. Mendelian randomization analysis was performed using three methods: inverse variance weighting (IVW), weighted median,...

Comparative Study of Microbiological and Molecular Diagnosis (Bac Multi-Screen-Real-TMkit) of Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus spp. Strains from Urinary and Vaginal Secretions in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)

Bagora Bayala,Léa Nikiema,Prosper Bado,Salif Sombié,Marc Donald Wilfried Adico,Arouna Soré,Jacques Simporé
Introduction: The last few decades have seen considerable progress in the diagnosis and medical management of infectious diseases. Among these diseases, urogenital infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus spp. remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Bac Multi-Screen-Real-TMkit com...

Prevalence, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profile of Citrobacter and Risk Factors Associated with Diarrheal Diseases in Water Wells in Urban West Region, Zanzibar

Gharibu A. Ibrahim,Alexanda Mzula,Isaac Makundi,Elisa Mwega
Citrobacter are Gram-negative bacteria that give public health challenges due to their zoonotic infections. Diarrheal diseases and antimicrobial resistance are global concerns that increase the burden of implementing infectious disease monitoring, especially in poor economic countries. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility and assess the risk factors of diarrheal diseases caused by bacteria from drinking water wells in the Urban West Regio...

One-Way Analysis and Correlation Analysis of Design Parameter’s Influence on the Work Condition of Vermifilter

Fatima Hamed, Meiyan Xing
Vermifilter, based on earthworm-microorganism synergistic action, could simultaneously achieve the reduction and stabilization of excess sludge environment-friendly. To make vermifilter work more efficiently and steadily, the diameter of ceramsite, filter height, and influent concentration were investigated in this study. The results showed that though larger ceramicite may decrease the rate of suspended solids (SS) reduction and volatile suspended solids (VSS) reduction slightly, it can improve...

Osteopetrosis Case Series from Tanzania

Lee Kapalisya Mwakalinga, Rogers Joachim Temu, Honest Massawe, Mathias Ncheye, Zawadi Mahumbuga, Octavian Allexander Shirima, Mubashir Jusabani, Regnald Shoo, Anthony Japhet Pallangyo
Osteopetrosis is a rare group of sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by diminished skeletal resorption. Typical osteopetrosis has the hallmark symptom of increased bone mass with related symptoms resulting from increased bone density. The mainstay of diagnosis is clinical and largely depends on the radiographic appearance of the skeleton. In our case series, three adults were studied, presented with history of recurrent fractures on the extremities sustained after low energy injuries, histor...

Detection of blaVIM Gene in β-Lactam Resistant E. coli Isolated from Clinical Samples in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Blandine Ouédraogo, Rahimatou Yasmine Wendkuni Tiemtoré, Amana Mètuor Dabiré, Serge Sougué, Jacques Simporé
Escherichia coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, is commonly associated community and hospital-acquired infections, with significant antibiotic resistance implications for public health. This study aimed to detect the blaVIM gene in E. coli strains isolated from the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Pédiatrique Charles De Gaulle (CHUP-CDG) in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. E. coli strains were isolated from various biological samples (urine, pus, blood, stool, and c...

Melioidosis a Rare Cause of Infective Endocarditis: A Case Report

Chun Kiat Ng, Anuradha P. Radhakrishnan
Burkholderia pseudomallei is an unusual causative organism of infective endocarditis. We present a case of Melioidosis mitral valve endocarditis with dissemination to the liver and kidney in a young woman with underlying SLE with lupus nephritis. Despite the delay in reaching a diagnosis, the patient was successfully treated with intravenous Ceftazidime and oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and was discharged well. The identification of the specific aetiologic organism is important for t...

The Ancestors of Cryptococci Appeared on Earth 600 Million Years Ago

Petr Nikolayevich Kolosov
The purpose of the research is to study the early forms of life in the Neoproterozoic. To achieve this goal, the author has conducted the search for microfossils in stromatolites and has systematically identified the detected forms. In Eastern Siberia, 600-million-year-old Neoproterozoic rocks host columnar stromatolites. They were formed in the sublittoral areas of the warm sea and consisted almost entirely of mineralized (silicified) remains of yeast fungi that, during their life cycle, parasi...
