The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has awarded funding to nearly 30 organizations to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and other healthcare threats through the establishment of 2 new networks: the Global Action in Healthcare Network (GAIHN) and the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Laboratory and Response Network (Global AR Lab & Response Network). With funding from this initiative, WHO will enhance the national, regional and global understanding of epidemiology and AMR in Neisseria gonorrhoeae ( N. gonorrhoeae ). In partnership with WHO collaborating centres (1-3) , the WHO Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and STI Programmes will strengthen surveillance of AMR in N. gonorrhoeae by coordinating, consolidating and expanding the Enhanced Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (EGASP) at the global level within the Global AMR Surveillance System framework. WHO launched EGASP to generate high quality and representative gonococcal AMR data. Th...

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI), especially among people ages 15 to 29 years old. It is caused by the bacterium  Chlamydia trachomatis,  which can spread from one person to another through vaginal, anal, or oral sex.  The bacteria causes inflammation of the cervix, rectum, or the throat.

Research has not shown that the infection can spread from an infected person's throat to the vagina or rectum...

7. Impetigo Can Be a Complication of Another Skin Condition What's interesting about impetigo is that this skin infection is sometimes a complication of another skin condition. If you have a dry or itchy rash from eczema, chickenpox, or another similar ailment, scratching the rash can break your skin. This can provide a point of entry for the staph or strep bacteria.

A new Cornell study has found the antimicrobial properties of certain stem cell proteins could offer a potential treatment to reduce infection in skin wounds. Treating wounds with the secretion of a type of stem cell effectively reduced the viability of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus – better known as MRSA – according to a new study from researchers at the Baker Institute for Animal Health, part of the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM). Moreover, the secretion stimulated the surrounding skin cells to build up a defense against the bacterial invader, the researchers found. The study appeared Sept. 16 in Stem Cells Translational Medicine. "The results showed that secreted factors from equine mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), a type of stem cell, significantly decreased the viability of MRSA in our novel skin model," said first author Dr. Charlotte Marx, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of  corresponding author Dr. Gerlinde R. Van de Wall...

There are limited epidemiological data simultaneously evaluating the relationship between HPV prevalence and BV prevalence and their effect on cervical lesions among women aged 20–35 years in the Fujian province. In this study, the population aged 20–35 years, showed a relatively high HPV prevalence, but the rate of abnormal cervical lesions was low, which highlights the importance of HPV vaccines. In addition, a previous study suggested that the mortality rate of cervical cancer among young urban women increased by 4.1 percent per year in China, according to rough statistics [9]. However, current cervical cancer screening guidelines focus primarily on women older than 30 years. Therefore, the rate of missed cervical cancer diagnosis in young women under 30 years should receive more attention. According to our previous study [10], most women aged 20–35 years are willing to receive and pay for the HPV vaccine. Therefore, it is necessary to in...
