March 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes 88 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from COVID-19 patients at "Reina Sofía" Hospital in Spain between October 2020 and April 2021 to track emerging variants and mutations.
- It notes that the 20E (EU1) variant was predominant at 71.6%, while the Alpha variant was rising at 14.8%, with concerning mutations found in the spike protein of some 20E genomes.
- Statistical analysis indicates a significant correlation between the age of patients and the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, particularly in samples with more genetic mutations.
Abstract: Raw meat and meat products contaminated with Clostridioides difficile could be a vehicle for spreading community-associated C. difficile infection. This study was conducted to determine the occurrence of C.

This study was conducted to determine the occurrence of pathogenic in retail bivalve mollusks. The microbiological quality of samples was also checked through the isolation of spp.

The purposes of this study were to assess the effect of specimen type and processing on isolation, culture, and detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and to determine the occurrence of in piglets of different ages. We compared different culture procedures-direct plating, ethanol shock, and an enrichment step-to isolate from swine feces and rectal swabs.
