In Argentina, about 55% of unvaccinated adults <35 years are susceptible to HAV.

HIV status was not associated with the presence of anti-HAV antibodies.

Targeting vaccination at susceptible adults is needed to reduce the HAV incidence.

HAV immunity studies are useful to redefine prevention policies.

Vancomycin and metronidazole are the most active agents in vitro against C. difficile.

Differences in clindamycin, imipenem, moxifloxacin, rifaximin resistance among centres.

Rifaximin, moxifloxacin resistant C. difficile related to prevalence of tuberculosis.

First multicenter surveillance on in vitro susceptibility of C. difficile in Argentina.

RVFV is a mosquito-borne disease.

WHO has included this virus in Bluepoint list of 8 pathogens.

In KSA not much information is available.

This review discusses the status, pathogenesis, prevalence, challenges and future prospects of RVFV in KSA.

No vaccine is available for human use.

Trichoderma harzianum controls pests via multiple mechanisms.

Effective against a broad spectrum of pests via direct and indirect actions.

Application methods and synergistic combinations boost biocontrol efficacy.

Formulation and genetic advances enhance stability for sustainable agriculture.

Twelve bacterial genera were identified in Tilapia (Oreochromis spp).

Aeromonas, an opportunistic pathogen, was identified in Tilapia.

Shewanella, Vibrio, Pseudomonas, and others were found in Tilapia.

Basmati rice is globally sought after for its fine, soft, long, aromatic grain.

The bacterial leaf blight disease significantly reduces yields in basmati rice.

Treating seeds with the consortium inhibited BLB incidence and improved growth.

Microbial treatments can be as effective as chemical controls for managing BLB.

One third of the patients had extra-pulmonary or disseminated tuberculosis.

Invasive procedures were required to reach the diagnosis.

Treatment without rifampin showed good clinical outcomes.

Plant extracts showed antifungal activities against MDR and non-MDR Candida.

Synergism with fluconazole was observed.

Plant extracts and their active compounds could be part of new antifungal candidates.

Ceftolozane/tazobactam was the most active combination against MDR P. aeruginosa.

Imipenem/relebactam presented activity in 80% of the isolates.

This is the first study analysing imipenem/relebactam activity in MDR PAE in the region.

Ceftazidime/avibactam reverted ceftazidime activity in 25% of the isolates.

The poor activity of the CZA-AZT combination suggests the presence of non enzymatic mechanisms.
