The antimicrobial resistance of (NG) is an increasing public health concern, highlighted by the fact that gonococcus is considered as a 'high'-priority pathogen by the WHO for research and development of new therapeutic options. According to the data of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in 2022, the rate of NG infections is the highest recorded since European surveillance of sexually transmitted infections began in 2009. We report a brief description of a patient infected with two different isolates of drug-resistant .

- Tanshinones are bioactive red pigments found in Danshen, a key herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but their biosynthetic pathway is only partially understood.
- Recent studies reveal significant differences in the diterpenoid profiles of different Salvia species, indicating a complex genetic relationship.
- A combination of Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and RNA sequencing was used to examine the leaves and roots of two Salvia species, leading to the identification of thousands of transcripts and key gene families involved in the biosynthesis of tanshinones.
Neoplastic diseases are still a major medical challenge, requiring a constant search for new therapeutic options. A serious problem of many cancers is resistance to anticancer drugs and disease progression in metastases or local recurrence. These characteristics of cancer cells may be related to the specific properties of cancer stem cells (CSC).

These plants are cultivated in Europe as robust ornamentals, and several cultivars are available. However, their medicinal potential remains underutilized because of limited information about their phytochemical and genetic diversity.

Molecular biology provides techniques for comparing material from the crime scene with other biological material of evidence. In this paper, we propose a set of seven markers based on Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) loci for DNA profiling of Quercus spp.
