Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from free-range chickens in the Caatinga biome.

Antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli is a global health challenge from a One Health perspective. However, data on its emergence in the Caatinga biome are limited. This biome is exclusive to the Brazilian Northeast and offers unique epidemiological conditions that can influence the occurrence of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella quasipneumoniae ST688 (NDM-1) and Klebsiella michiganensis ST40 (KPC-2) in food destined for hospitalized patients.

Objectives: Klebsiella spp. are leading causes of nosocomial infections. Their ability to harbour antimicrobial resistance genes makes them an important public health threat.

Are perceptions of climate change in Amazonian coastal communities influenced by socioeconomic and cultural factors?

Climate changes have become undisputed, as have their consequences for global ecosystems and mankind. The coastal areas are among the most affected areas on the planet due to their geographical location. The effects suffered by coastal areas can render the residing populations homeless, as well as compromise the continuity of the history and culture of these environments.
