Healthcare-Associated Infections in Ukraine and the Activity of 4-Thiazolidinone Derivatives Against Related Pathogens

"This study involves microbiological diagnostic testing of clinical samples collected from ICU patients diagnosed with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). The intervention includes:~Sample Collection: Blood, urine, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, wound swabs, and oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal swabs.~Pathogen Identification: Using biochemical tests, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and 16S rRNA sequencing to identify bacterial and fungal pathogens.~Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing: Determining the resistance profiles of the identified pathogens to various antimicrobial agents.~Evaluation of New Compounds: Testing the antimicrobial efficacy of new 4-thiazolidinone derivatives against isolated pathogens.~This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the understanding of pathogen distribution and resistance patterns in HAIs."
