Studying Microbial Ecology of Diabetic Foot Infections: Significance of PCR Analysis for Prudent Antimicrobial Stewardship

International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, 2025
This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the microbial ecology of diabetic foot infections (DFIs), using molecular-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis to accurately identify the causative agents. One hundred DFI patients were recruited and classified using the Depth Extent Phase and Associated Etiology (DEPA) score according to their severity. Results revealed polymicrobial infections in 75% of cases, predominantly featuring Staphylococcus epidermidis (83%) and Staphylococcus aureus (63%). Importantly, 20% of samples exhibited facultative anaerobes Bacteroides fragilis or Clostridium perfringens, exclusively in high DEPA score ulcers. Candida albicans coinfection was identified in 19.2% of cases, underscoring the need for mycological evaluation. Empirical antimicrobial therapy regimens were tailored to DEPA severity, yet our findings highlighted a potential gap in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) coverage. Despite an 88% prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci, vancomycin usage was suboptimal. This raises concerns about the underestimation of MRSA risk and the need for tailored antibiotic guidelines. Our study demonstrates the efficacy of molecular-PCR analysis in identifying diverse microbial communities in DFIs, influencing targeted antibiotic choices. The results advocate for refined antimicrobial guidelines, considering regional variations in microbial patterns and judiciously addressing multidrug-resistant strains. This research contributes crucial insights for optimizing DFIs management and helps the physicians to have a fast decision in selection the suitable antibiotic for each patient and to decrease the risk of bacterial resistance from the improper use of broad-spectrum empirical therapies.

International Journal of Pharmacy Practice, 2025
Objectives This study aimed to investigate public storage and disposal practices of unused medicine and their perception of the role of Jordanian authorities’ responsibility for disposing of unused medicines. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted over 3 weeks (February to March 2022). Data were collected online using a convenient sampling technique from 681 Jordanian population who agreed to participate. Key findings Around 73% (n = 495) of the participants reported storing unused medicines in the medicine cabinets at home, with 15.7% (n = 107) storing unused medicine in the kitchen and 15.3% (n = 104) in the bedroom. Findings showed that 28.0% (n = 191) disposed of unused medicines in the household rubbish, 22.6% (n = 154) shared them with anyone who needed them, or 19.8% (n = 135) with family and friends. Only a few participants return their unused medicine to the pharmacies 10% (n = 68), hospitals 6.3% (n = 43), and healthcare clinics 5.9% (n = 40). Conclusion The findings indicate that Jordanian participants have become more aware of proper practices for storing and disposing of unused medicines compared to the previous Jordan studies. However, factors influencing their behaviour regarding disposal practices of unused medicines are yet to be further studied. A Jordanian disposal scheme for unused medicines should be developed to help people return them to pharmacies, hospitals, and healthcare clinics.

Open Public Health Journal, 2025
Halal pharmaceuticals comply with Islamic dietary laws and ethical principles, addressing the needs of Muslim consumers. Understanding public awareness and attitudes towards these products is crucial for promoting informed healthcare decisions and religious adherence. Halal pharmaceuticals, adhering to Islamic principles, are essential in Muslim-majority countries. This study aimed to investigate the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) of Jordanian society regarding halal pharmaceutical products. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 914 participants from diverse demographic backgrounds in Jordan. The survey assessed awareness, attitudes, and practices concerning halal pharmaceuticals. Data analysis was performed to identify key determinants of KAP scores. The study revealed moderate knowledge about halal pharmaceuticals among participants, with 60.4% and 64.2% unfamiliar with the terms “halal pharmaceuticals” and “non-halal pharmaceuticals,” respectively. While 85.2% of participants recognized the prohibition of substances, such as derivatives of dead animals and alcohol, in pharmaceuticals, 66.2% lacked awareness of specific non-halal ingredients. When seeking information about halal medicines, 73.1% of participants relied on established institutions, while 68.4% used online resources. Pharmacists were identified as trusted sources by 61.7% of respondents. Gender, age, smoking status, education level, specialization, and job status significantly influenced KAP scores. Specifically, females exhibited higher knowledge and more favorable attitudes, with 64.1% of females reporting favorable knowledge, compared to 52.3% of males. Higher education levels also correlated with better KAP scores, with 74.5% of participants with a university education demonstrating more favorable practices compared to 55.7% of those without higher education. The findings underscore the need for enhanced educational initiatives to bridge knowledge gaps and promote awareness about halal pharmaceuticals. Collaborative efforts between healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and religious authorities are essential to ensure the availability and clear identification of halal pharmaceutical options, catering to the religious beliefs of patients and fostering informed healthcare decisions.
Ethical considerations and concerns in the implementation of AI in pharmacy practice: a cross-sectional study

BMC Medical Ethics, 2024
Background Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare has raised significant ethical concerns. In pharmacy practice, AI offers promising advances but also poses ethical challenges. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in countries from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region on 501 pharmacy professionals. A 12-item online questionnaire assessed ethical concerns related to the adoption of AI in pharmacy practice. Demographic factors associated with ethical concerns were analyzed via SPSS v.27 software using appropriate statistical tests. Results Participants expressed concerns about patient data privacy (58.9%), cybersecurity threats (58.9%), potential job displacement (62.9%), and lack of legal regulation (67.0%). Tech-savviness and basic AI understanding were correlated with higher concern scores (p < 0.001). Ethical implications include the need for informed consent, beneficence, justice, and transparency in the use of AI. Conclusion The findings emphasize the importance of ethical guidelines, education, and patient autonomy in adopting AI. Collaboration, data privacy, and equitable access are crucial to the responsible use of AI in pharmacy practice.
