ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE OF ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII AT CAN THO GENERAL HOSPITAL IN 2019–2023
This study examines antibiotic resistance patterns in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Can Tho General Hospital, Vietnam, between 2019 and 2023, focusing on multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pandrug-resistant (PDR) strains. The goal is to assess the prevalence of resistance and its clinical implications. Respiratory specimens from various departments, including the intensive care unit (ICU), were analyzed. Bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were conducted using standard microbiological techniques and the Vitek-2 Compact system. Resistance patterns were categorized as MDR, XDR, and PDR, and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production was evaluated. MDR, XDR, and PDR were prevalent in 11.0%, 73.2%, and 15.7% of A. baumannii isolates. Resistance rates fluctuated over the five-year period, with a significant rise in PDR in 2021. ESBL production was strongly associated with increased resistance to key antibiotics, including vancomycin, clindamycin, erythromycin, and gentamicin. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) were observed between the ESBL-producing and non-ESBL-producing strains, particularly for ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and gentamicin. The study underscores the increasing threat posed by MDR, XDR, and PDR A. baumannii strains, particularly those producing ESBL, which exhibit higher resistance to crucial antibiotics. These findings highlight the urgent need for continuous surveillance, antibiotic stewardship, and targeted interventions, especially in ICUs, to prevent the further spread of resistant strains and improve patient outcomes.

ANALYSIS OF BACTERIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE PATTERNS IN THE TREATMENT OF HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA AT CAN THO GENERAL HOSPITAL
Viêm phổi bệnh viện là một bệnh lý nghiêm trọng, làm tăng thời gian điều trị, chi phí và nguy cơ tử vong. Nghiên cứu này phân tích đặc điểm vi khuẩn và tình trạng kháng kháng sinh trong điều trị viêm phổi bệnh viện tại Khoa Hồi sức tích cực - Chống độc, Bệnh viện Đa khoa thành phố Cần Thơ. Nghiên cứu mô tả cắt ngang được thực hiện trên 181 mẫu bệnh phẩm phân lập từ bệnh nhân điều trị tại khoa Khoa Hồi sức tích cực từ tháng 01/2022 đến tháng 12/2023. Tỷ lệ nam/nữ là 2,1:1, trong đó 77,3% bệnh nhân trên 60 tuổi, 21,0% từ 40–60 tuổi và 1,7% dưới 40 tuổi. Các vi khuẩn gây bệnh phổ biến nhất là A. baumannii (32%) và K. pneumoniae (45,9%). Chủng A. baumannii nhạy cảm cao với Ertapenem (100%) nhưng kháng hầu hết các kháng sinh khác. Trong khi đó, K. pneumoniae có độ nhạy vừa phải với Amikacin (59,0%) nhưng kháng cao với các kháng sinh còn lại. Ertapenem được khuyến nghị sử dụng để điều trị viêm phổi bệnh viện do A. baumannii, trong khi Amikacin, kết hợp với các kháng sinh khác, phù hợp để điều trị Viêm phổi bệnh viện do K. pneumoniae. Kết quả nghiên cứu nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của việc xét nghiệm kháng sinh đồ nhằm tối ưu hóa phác đồ điều trị và giảm nguy cơ kháng thuốc.

Unraveling the genetic basis of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus: Focus on mecA and PVL Genes
Background Staphylococcus aureus infections, including Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin-Sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), present significant challenges in healthcare due to rising antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluates the genetic basis of antibiotic resistance in S. aureus, focusing on key resistance-associated genes mecA and PVL. Methods A total of 568 clinical specimens were analyzed for the presence of S. aureus. Demographic data were collected to assess age-dependent prevalence. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted to evaluate resistance patterns. The prevalence of the mecA and PVL genes was determined using molecular techniques. Results S. aureus was identified in 37.9% of cases, with the highest prevalence (60-79 age group). All S. aureus isolates showed 100% resistance to penicillin. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains accounted for 84.19% of isolates, with a significant presence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains. The mecA gene was prevalent in 82.79% of MRSA isolates, indicating its strong association with methicillin resistance. Additionally, 41.86% of all S. aureus isolates were positive for the PVL gene, highlighting its widespread distribution. Conclusions The high prevalence of mecA and PVL genes in S. aureus strains underscores the challenges in managing these infections. These findings emphasize the necessity for judicious antibiotic use and enhanced collaborative efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance. Understanding the genetic basis of resistance can inform more effective diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes in S. aureus infections.

Comprehensive Analysis of Demographic, Clinical, and Genetic Characteristics in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are substantial contributors to the global disease burden and mortality. The ANRIL gene polymorphism rs1333040 has been implicated in susceptibility to cardiovascular disease; however, its role in the Vietnamese population remains unclear. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 185 Vietnamese patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and clinical data, medical history, and biochemical parameters were recorded. ANRIL SNP rs1333040 was genotyped using PCR-RFLP. Genotype frequencies were assessed for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and their association with cardiovascular risk factors. Results The ‘Normal’ BMI (Body Mass Index) category was the largest segment, comprising 77.84% of the sample. Key cardiovascular risk factors identified among patients with AMI included hypertension (83.8%), dyslipidemia (80.0%), smoking (50.0%), and diabetes mellitus (33.8%). Clinical presentation showed that 55.0% of patients had non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 45.0% had ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Lipid profile abnormalities were significant; 60.0% had decreased High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C), 53.8% had elevated triglycerides, 37.5% had elevated Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C), and 36.3% had elevated total cholesterol levels. Genetic analysis focused on the rs1333040 polymorphism of the ANRIL gene, with the most common genotype being TT (58.8%), followed by CT (33.7%) and CC (7.5%). Allele frequencies were 75.6% for T and 24.4% for C. This study is the clinical implications of ANRIL polymorphisms in Vietnamese patients with CAD and AMI. Significant genotype-phenotype associations were observed, underscoring the importance of incorporating genetic screening for enhanced prognostic capabilities and personalized therapeutic decisions. Further research focused on delineating the precise genetic underpinnings of complex cardiovascular diseases in diverse populations is warranted.

ASSESSING THE INHIBITORY PROPERTY OF Ruellia tuberosa L. EXTRACT ON CALCIUM OXALATE CRYSTALLIZATION IN VITRO
Nghiên cứu này đánh giá khả năng ức chế và hòa tan tinh thể calcium oxalate gây sỏi thận của các chiết xuất từ cây Ruellia tuberosa L. Các bộ phận của cây (lá, thân và rễ) được chiết xuất bằng phương pháp ngâm trong ethanol 70%. Cao chiết từ rễ cho hiệu suất cao nhất 30,58% và có chứa các hợp chất flavonoid, terpenoid, tanin. Khả năng ức chế sự hình thành mầm tinh thể được đánh giá bằng phương pháp đo độ hấp thụ ở 620 nm. Cao chiết lá cho hoạt tính ức chế mạnh nhất ở giai đoạn hình thành mầm tinh thể với IC50 5,13 mg/mL. Đánh giá khả năng ức chế sự phát triển tinh thể được thực hiện và theo dõi bằng phương pháp đo độ hấp thụ ở bước sóng 214 nm trong 10 phút. Chiết xuất lá cũng cho kết quả ức chế phát triển tốt nhất với IC50 7,15 mg/mL. Khả năng ức chế sự kết tinh của tinh thể được thực hiện bằng phương pháp đo độ hấp thụ ở 620 nm trong 6 giờ. Cao chiết thân cho hoạt tính ức chế cao nhất với IC50 7,1 mg/mL. Khả năng hòa tan tinh thể được đánh giá bằng phương pháp chuẩn độ, cao chiết thân cho hiệu quả hòa tan cao 51,48% với hàm lượng 20 mg/mL. Kết quả cho thấy các chiết xuất R. tuberosa có khả năng ức chế quá trình hình thành sỏi thận, với chiết xuất lá ức chế hiệu quả giai đoạn đầu, chiết xuất thân ức chế giai đoạn sau và hòa tan tinh thể. Đây có thể là liệu pháp tự nhiên cho bệnh sỏi thận.
