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...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

Abstract Background Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) emerging as a standout in the clinical setting. In this study, we harnessed the power of mNGS to explore the pathogenic spectrum and temporal variations i...

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are a serious threat to global food security, with estimated annual losses exceeding $173 billion. Beyond their direct damage, interactions between PPNs and other phytopathogens can lead ...

Abstract Zoonoses are among the greatest threats to human health, with many zoonotic pathogens believed to have emerged following the Neolithic transition. Palaeomicrobiological investigations of the zooarchaeological re...

Background: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Gram-negative bacteria are spherical lipid bilayer nanostructures with diameters of 20 to 250 nm. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a keystone periodontal pathogen,...

BackgroundRegulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 (RTEL1) is a gene that encodes a DNA helicase crucial for DNA repair and telomere maintenance. It belongs to a family of genes associated with telomere biology disord...

This investigation focused on the compilation and analysis of the incidence of foodborne diseases and foodborne outbreaks related to protein-based foods, published in official surveillance reports from the European Union...

Abstract Background Lynch syndrome (LS) is a common hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome caused by pathogenic germline mutations in MMR genes. This study aimed to conduct LS screening in a South Chinese Endometrial ...

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a complex multifactorial infectious disorder of the female reproductive tract, associated with severe long-term sequelae including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic p...

Abstract Tick-borne pathogens pose significant threats to wildlife health and may serve as sources of zoonotic infections. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of Anaplasma spp., particularly Anaplasma ovis, in...
