Measles Outbreak Hits Florida Elementary Schools
Florida health officials are investigating a measles outbreak at an elementary school in Broward County, with four cases reported so far, while at least 11 states have reported recent measles cases. A study in East Africa found that roughly half of urinary tract infection isolates were multidrug-resistant, with high rates of resistance across pathogens to first-line antibiotics. Saudi Arabia reported four more MERS-CoV cases, with two being fatal, and the WHO suggested that public health actions prioritizing COVID-19 case detections or COVID-19 mitigation actions may have contributed to the decline in MERS-CoV cases. In Belgium, more than half of sequenced samples of Mycoplasma genitalium were resistant to macrolides, raising concerns about multidrug resistance and the need for updated testing and treatment guidelines.
