Evaluation of Surgical Antimicrobial Prophylaxis Compliance: A Multicentre Point Prevalence Study.

Background: This study aimed to determine the frequency of compliance with surgical prophylaxis in Turkey and to identify the causes and risk factors for non-compliance.

Methods: This multi-center, prospective, point prevalence study was conducted in eight hospitals from different regions of Turkey. Patients over 18 years who underwent surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP) in all hospital surgical units were included in the study.

New strategies to advance plant transformation.

Plants are an important source of food, energy, and bioproducts. Advances in genetics, genomics-assisted breeding, and biotechnology have facilitated the combining of desirable traits into elite cultivars. To ensure sustainable crop production in the face of climate challenges and population growth, it is essential to develop and implement techniques that increase crop yield and resilience in environments facing water scarcity, nutrient deficiencies, and other abiotic and biotic stressors.

Mortality rates and risk factors associated with mortality in patients with stenotrophomonas maltophilia primary Bacteraemia and Pneumonia.

This study aims to evaluate the risk factors associated with the mortality of S. maltophilia infections. Patients aged 18 years and older with S.

Rapid and efficient in planta genome editing in sorghum using foxtail mosaic virus-mediated sgRNA delivery.

The requirement of in vitro tissue culture for the delivery of gene editing reagents limits the application of gene editing to commercially relevant varieties of many crop species. To overcome this bottleneck, plant RNA viruses have been deployed as versatile tools for in planta delivery of recombinant RNA. Viral delivery of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to transgenic plants that stably express CRISPR-associated (Cas) endonuclease has been successfully used for targeted mutagenesis in several dicotyledonous and few monocotyledonous plants.
