is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen and is a common cause of nosocomial infections. The increasing development of antibiotic resistance in this organism is a global health concern. The clinical isolate AB307-0294 produces a type VI secretion system (T6SS) that delivers three antibacterial effector proteins that give this strain a competitive advantage against other bacteria in polymicrobial environments.

- The study compares cranial ultrasound (cUS) and neonatal brain MRI in assessing brain injury in infants with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).
- Findings indicate that early cUS results, especially concerning white and gray matter injuries, closely correlate with MRI findings, enhancing predictive value for brain injury.
- These insights suggest that cUS can be a valuable tool in low-resource settings where MRI availability is limited, potentially improving newborn care.
We revealed the neglected genetic relationships of resistance for six major wheat diseases and established a haploblock-based catalogue with novel forms of resistance by multi-trait haplotype characterisation. Genetic potential to improve multiple disease resistance was highlighted through haplotype stacking simulations. Wheat production is threatened by numerous fungal diseases, but the potential to breed for multiple disease resistance (MDR) mechanisms is yet to be explored.

Perinatal medicine has made significant advancements in recent decades. This has improved care and outcomes for infants. As we strive to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes, we must understand the influence the maternal/placental/fetal (MPF) triad has on fetal development and postnatal health and disease.
