Pitfalls in the diagnosis of apparent homozygous mutations: two cases of IL10RA deficiency inflammatory bowel disease and a literature review by Xiu Shi, Ziqing Ye, Lai Qian, Wenhui Hu, Ye Yang, Chunmeng He, Zhiheng Huang, Bingbing Wu, Ying Huang

“…Abstract Background In East Asia, IL10RA is the predominant pathogenic gene in patients with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD), frequently characterised by refractory diarrhoea and severe perianal disease, resulting in elevated death rates. IL10RA-deficient IBD, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, has been documented to be inherited through the conventional compound heterozygous or homozygous mutation patterns from both parents. …”

Antimicrobial resistance and beta-lactamase gene distribution among clinical isolates: a two-year cohort study by Yasser Alraey, Mohammed Mushabub Assiry, Irfan Ahmad, Abdulaziz Alqahtani, Nada Basheer, Mohammed A. M. AlAsiri, Saleh A. M. Alshehri, Saeed M. S. Alhamhhum, Sultan Mohammed Alhefdi, Mohd Shahid Khan, Mohd Saleem, Abdulah A. S. Bawazeer

“…The tests on antimicrobial resistance demonstrated that Imipenem (95%), along with Tigecycline (97%), were effective, but Norfloxacin (97.1%) and Cotrimoxazole (46%) had notable resistance patterns. The results showed an ESBL detection rate of 312 among Escherichia coli isolates, but MBL counts reached 83, and AmpC beta-lactamase production amounted to 142. blaCTX-M emerged as the leading ESBL gene type (38.1%) among a total of 142 collected E. coli strains, which also demonstrated blaOXA-48 (25.3%) and blaNDM (22.7%) as their prevalent MBL genes. …”
