Trichoderma spp. are among the most studied biocontrol agents. While extensive work has been done to understand Trichoderma antagonistic mechanisms, additional research is needed to fully understand how Trichoderma spp.

Multidrug efflux pumps have been found to play a crucial role in drug resistance in bacteria and eukaryotes. In this study, we investigated the presence of functional multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) efflux pumps, inferred from whole genome sequencing, in the halophilic archaeon Halorubrum amylolyticum CSM52 using Hoechst 33342 dye accumulation and antimicrobial sensitivity tests in the presence and absence of efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs). The whole genome sequence of H.

Objective: Breakthrough COVID-19 infections are common following immunisation with various types of vaccines. The patterns of infections have not been well established. We aimed to analyse the signs and symptoms of post vaccination infections in addition to the need for hospital admission, ER visit and supplemental oxygen in relation to age and gender.

Article Synopsis
  • A prior study found that soybean fields double-cropped with winter wheat had fewer soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) than fallow fields.
  • A follow-up investigation used metagenomics and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) to analyze soil chemical profiles and discovered 51 compounds, some identified as having potential nematicidal properties.
  • The research suggests that the reduction in SCN populations in these double-cropped fields results from a combination of enriched microbial communities, more beneficial organisms, and higher concentrations of nematicidal compounds, marking a novel approach in soil chemical profiling for SCN suppression.

Objectives: Perinatal substance abuse (PSA) is associated with increased risk of prematurity, low birth weight, neonatal abstinence syndrome, behavioral issues and learning difficulties. It is imperative that robust care pathways are in place for these high-risk pregnancies and that staff and patient education are optimized. The present study explores the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals toward PSA to identify knowledge gaps to enhance care and reduce stigma.
