Phages as potential life-saving therapeutic option in the treatment of multidrug-resistant urinary tract infections by Beata Zalewska-Piątek, Michalina Nagórka

“…Phage therapy (PT) has emerged as a promising alternative due to its specificity, safety and efficacy against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens causing infectious diseases. PT demonstrates significant potential in treating chronic and recurrent UTIs, also including catheter-associated infection by reducing bacterial biofilms, delaying catheter blockage, and enhancing antibiotic efficacy when used in combination. …”

Investigation of new exopolysaccharides produced by strains of donkey milk by Arevik Israyelyan, Tsovinar Balabekyan, Lara Aleksanyan, Inesa Sahakyan, Anna Gasparyan, Flora Тkhruni

“…Results: The antimicrobial activity of the polysaccharide and antimicrobial protein-like fractions of the genus Enterococcus strains depends on its concentration, time of interaction with the test culture, and the species of the pathogenic bacteria. Conclusion: The obtained results were shown that strains isolated from fermented donkey milk that are capable of synthesizing two substances of different nature with high antimicrobial properties during the growth process are promising for further research and application for their use as probiotics and biopreparations in pharmaceuticals. …”

Integrating agent-based disease, mobility and wastewater models for the study of the spread of communicable diseases by Néstor DelaPaz-Ruíz, Ellen-Wien Augustijn, Mahdi Farnaghi, Sheheen A. Abdulkareem, Raul Zurita Milla

“…To that end, we developed an integrated Agent-Based Model (ABM) that facilitates analysis in space and time at various temporal resolutions, including disease spread, population mobility and wastewater production, while also being sufficiently generic for different types of infectious diseases or pathogens. The integrated model replicates the epidemic curve for COVID-19 and can estimate the daily infections at the household level, enabling the monitoring of the spatial patterns of infection intensity. …”
