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...

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 ...

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 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 Eighty samples were collected from intestine of Cyprinus carpio fish from Tigres river passing through Mosul city during the period from October 2009 to October 2010. In this study Intestinal samples of fish sh...

Lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease characterized by complex immune disturbances concerning humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Despite intensive research, many pathological processes regarding this diso...

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 ...

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...

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells express a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR) that detects microbial metabolites presented by the nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC)–like molecule MR1. Th...

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...

Abstract This study investigated infection by Leishmania spp., Leptospira spp., Toxoplasma gondii, and Trypanosoma cruzi in six-banded armadillos (Euphractus sexcinctus) from the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil. T...

The aim of this study was to perform a current molecular characterization of bovine pathogenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from random samplings in Argentinean dairy farms. Rectal swabs were obtained from 395 (63.7...

The aim of this review is to describe the main theoretical findings and research conclusions about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in the perinatal period. On one hand, epidemiological studies show that the risk of O...

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 ...
