Abstract Background Foreign body aspiration (FBA) may be complicated by secondary respiratory tract infection. The spectrum of pathogens associated with FBA in China remains poorly described. This study aimed to obtain c...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory tract infections, particularly in children, older adults, and individuals with immunocompromising conditions. Despite incr...

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe cardiopulmonary disorder characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling, which leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy, and ultim...

There are several significant secondary metabolites found in freshwater macroalgae, which remain an unexplored source of therapeutic substances. The present study investigated the antimicrobial activity of two different ...

Abstract In this study, the contamination levels of hygienic indicators and foodborne pathogens in retail meat products were investigated in relation to the various market factors including processing temperature, proces...

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an apicomplexan parasite that infects most warm-blooded animals, including approximately one-third of the human population worldwide. Dense granule proteins (GRAs), secreted from speciali...

Kiwifruit soft rot caused by fungal pathogens can result in substantial postharvest losses. While Alternaria alternata and A. tenuissima have been implicated in this disease, their pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly cha...

Crops residues are an important source of maintenance of Fusarium graminearum inoculum in the soybean agroecosystem. Given that these populations can interact in the substrate through mechanisms of mycelial recognition a...

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus type 2 (PRRSV-2) has been endemic in China for more than three decades; however, comprehensive epidemiological investigations under field conditions remain limited in r...

To improve early detection of invasive tree pathogens, foliar putative pathogenic fungal communities in reciprocal ex patria sentinel plantings across three continents were examined. Geographic location and tree species ...

Foodborne pathogen outbreaks impose a substantial and escalating burden on global public health, food systems, and economies, with the World Health Organization estimating over 600 million illness episodes and 420,000 de...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim The rapid dissemination of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacterial clones poses a global health threat and limits treatment options. Understanding the dynamics of bacterial clones in Nigeria is ...

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with a high incidence of renal involvement during its course contributing to disease morbidity and mortality. All compartments of the kidney may be affe...

Abstract Background The prevalence and spectrum of PALB2 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPVs) may vary across different regions, and these have not yet been analysed and reported in Slovenian HBOC families. Me...

Chemical composition, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of commercial essential oils’ samples from the aerial plant parts of H. officinalis, R. officinalis and S. officinalis were investigated. Analyses by GC-FID ...

ABSTRACT Diarrheagenic (DEC) and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are associated with intestinal and extra-intestinal infections (ExPEC), respectively. We aimed to analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility, gene e...

IntroductionOrthopedic implant-associated infections, predominantly caused by S. aureus, pose significant challenges due to biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance. Bioactive Glass (BAG) S53P4 is a unique material wi...

Erwinia persicina (Ep) is recognized as an emerging pathogen of considerable threat to tomato yields. Although Stenotrophomonas rhizophila (Sr) has long been recognized as a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR), ...

Objective Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic gynaecological condition characterised by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue; however, its molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Ferroptosis, an iron-depe...

Abstract Background Current understanding of the fluid biomarker profile in early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) associated with pathogenic APP variants remains limited. We characterized four EOAD pedigrees carrying ...

ObjectiveTo investigate the contamination levels of foods such as woodear， Tremella fuciformis （white jelly fungus）， and rice noodles caused by Burkholderia gladioli pv. cocovenenans， and to elucidate the patho...

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), the bacterium that causes citrus canker, contains a gene in the hrp [for hypersensitive response (HR) and pathogenicity] cluster that encodes a harpin protein called Hpa1. Hpa1 pro...

Abstract Soils are the primary environmental reservoir of plant pathogens impacting food production and ecosystem productivity worldwide. Yet, some soils can also suppress pathogens through environmental and microbial re...
