This article contains information on the use of antibiotics according to the problem of antibiotic-resistance growth in pathogens of infections. Also suggested approaches to the choice and prescription of the rational antibiotic treatment of the most frequent respiratory tract infections in children in outpatient practice based on the modern Russian and Eurasian clinical guidelines.

AbstractHuman respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of acute respiratory tract infections in children and immunocompromised adults worldwide. Here we report that amoebae-release respirable-sized vesicles containing high concentrations of infectious RSV that persisted for the duration of the experiment. Given the ubiquity of amoebae in moist environments, our results suggest that extracellular amoebal-vesicles could contribute to the environmental persistence of respiratory viruses, including potential resistance to disinfection processes and thereby offering novel pathways for viral dissemination and transmission.
