Abstract
Objectives: Following the launch of the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS), antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates in many countries remain poorly described. This review provides an overview of published AMR data from Cambodia in the context of recently initiated national human and food-animal surveillance. Methods: PubMed and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched for articles published from 2000 to 2018, which reported antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) data for GLASS specific organisms isolated from Cambodia. Articles were screened using strict inclusion/exclusion criteria. AST data was extracted, with medians and ranges of resistance rates calculated for specific bug-drug combinations. Results: Twenty-four papers were included for final analysis, with 20 describing isolates from human populations. Escherichia coli was the most commonly described organism, with median resistance rates from human isolates of 92.8% (n = 6 articles), 46.4% (n = 4), 55.4% (n = 8), and 46.4% (n = 5) to ampicillin, 3rd generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, and gentamicin respectively. Conclusions: Whilst resistance rates are high for several GLASS organisms, there were insufficient data to draw robust conclusions about the AMR situation in Cambodia. The recently implemented national AMR surveillance systems will begin to address this data gap. (C) 2019 The Author(s).

Abstract
Four Auricularia polysaccharides (A.cornea (ACP), A.auricula (AAP), A.polytricha (APP) and M.fungus (MFP)) were researched to evaluate the effect of Auricularia species on digestion, anti-inflammatory and function of polysaccharides. The results showed that the molecular weights of ACP and MFP were significantly reduced in gastric juice from 30 min to 150 min (p < 0.05), the polysaccharides were degraded into small molecules and their structures were changed after digestion. The inhibition rate of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase of APP were 71.21% and 82.01%, respectively, APP had a better hypolipidemic activity and the inhibitory activity was 89.5%. AAP, APP, and MFP could significantly promoted cell proliferation at 400 mu g/mL. Four polysaccharides could inhibit inflammatory factors, so all polysaccharides have the good anti-inflammatory activity. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of APP against E. coli and S. typhi were 1.25% and 1.0%, respectively. There were significant differences in the digestion, anti-inflammatory and function of Auricularia polysaccharides among different species (p < 0.05). (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
