Background: Phleboviruses are large and widespread group of viruses that are transmitted by arthropods and they have been reported to circulate in endemic regions of Mediterranean Basin, including Croatia.
Objectives: To investigate the role of Toscana virus, as a cause of the aseptic meningitis, in summer months in Croatia.
Study Design: Samples from 30 patients with aseptic meningitis were retrospectively tested by serology and RT-PCR for TOSV.
Article Synopsis
- The northern Adriatic Sea's marine macroaggregates, mainly from phytoplankton, are rich in proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides.
- The study explores how different macroaggregate fractions react based on their composition, particularly emphasizing the bioavailability of these components.
- Enzymatic hydrolysis indicates that while polysaccharides and proteins degrade simultaneously, lipids remain mostly intact, with the higher molecular weight fractions showing potential for preserving organic nitrogen.
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance rates of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Proteus mirabilis strains isolated from inpatients at the Split University Hospital (southern Croatia) during a survey performed between 2005 and 2008. A total of 2152 consecutive isolates of P. mirabilis were isolated.

PCR amplification was performed with the AmpFISTR Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit and the amplified products were separated and detected using the ABI 3130 DNA genetic analyzer. The agreement with Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) was confirmed for all loci (p > 0.
