Biodiversity gaps in microorganisms, such as yeasts, blur our understanding of microbial diversity, introducing biases in their biogeography, ecology, and taxonomy. The genus Carlosrosaea is a potential plant growth booster, yet it is still a little-known yeast group. Considering that databases like GBIF and GenBank are powerful tools for exploring biodiversity data, we aimed to map the geographic distribution, ecological patterns, and taxonomic potential of the genus Carlosrosaea.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccinations in liver cirrhosis patients, three years into the pandemic, due to ongoing uncertainties in this demographic.
  • The research included 124 liver cirrhosis patients, focusing on their antibody responses post-vaccination over different time intervals, as well as any adverse effects experienced.
  • Results indicated that while 18% experienced mild adverse events, a significant portion had inadequate antibody responses over time, with factors like older age and type of vaccine linked to poorer outcomes.
