Evaluation of the role of staphylococci in the pathomechanism of conjunctivitis

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between ica genes and phenotypic biofilm formation in staphylococcal isolates causing conjunctivitis. Additionally, it examined their antibiotic resistance and the presence of selected virulence characteristics, namely adhesion to epithelial cells and in vitro cytotoxicity. Out of the staphylococcal isolates involved in conjunctivitis, the ica genes were detected in […]

The prevalence and risk factors for latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in patients with chronic kidney disease

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a heightened risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB), primarily due to the reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) [1, 2]. The incidence of TB is significantly higher in CKD patients, particularly in those undergoing dialysis, where the risk is estimated to be 10–25 times greater than in […]
