Carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CP-CRE) represent a significant global threat. The emergence of dual CP-CRE is particularly alarming, as they can potentially compromise the efficacy of newer antibiotics, further decreasing therapeutic alternatives. Herein, we report the emergence of multiple species of CP-CRE recovered from invasive infections in Chile that simultaneously harbor and and provide an in-depth genomic characterization of these worrisome pathogens.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored the link between internalized weight bias (IWB), pregnancy-related weight changes, and postpartum depression in women six to twelve months after giving birth.
- The research utilized a cross-sectional survey with 251 participants from the U.S., measuring weight gain during pregnancy, weight retention postpartum, IWB, and levels of postpartum depression.
- Results showed that while weight gain during pregnancy didn’t significantly impact IWB or depression, the retention of that weight was positively linked to both IWB and depressive symptoms, suggesting that sociocultural pressures may exacerbate psychological distress postpartum.
Interventions delivered by mobile devices (mHealth interventions) have the potential to increase access to weight management treatment in low-income populations. However, little prior research has examined effects of mHealth programming plus phone-based community health worker (CHW) support for weight management among public housing residents. For our intervention, we first interacted with a community advisory board to collect feedback on proposed intervention components.

- Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a common and serious condition caused by a combination of risk factors, including both genetic and environmental influences.
- Recent research has revealed the complex mechanisms behind DVT, highlighting the roles of blood flow changes, the endothelium, platelets, leukocytes, and the interplay between inflammation and coagulation.
- The formation of a thrombus is driven by the activation of endothelial cells, which leads to the adhesion of blood cells and further promotes clot development.
is a major foodborne pathogen that can contaminate food products and colonize food-producing facilities. Foodservice operations (FSOp) are frequently responsible for foodborne outbreaks due to food safety practices failures. We investigated the presence of and characterized from two FSOp (cafeterias) distributing ready-to-eat meals and verified FSOp's compliance with good manufacturing practices (GMP).
