Sharing of alleles between and associated with extensive drug resistance in isolates from infants and poultry in the Peruvian Amazon.

is a serious health threat because of the rapid progressive evolution of antimicrobial resistance and efficient transmission from zoonotic as well as human sources. Resistance to fluoroquinolones and macrolides is particularly concerning as this compromises the two most effective oral antibiotic agents currently available for human campylobacteriosis. Here, we report on the prevalence and worldwide distribution of the operon , which encodes an efflux pump conferring high levels of combined resistance to fluoroquinolones and macrolides in strains isolated from poultry ( = 75) and children ( = 177).

Adults living with dementia and chronic wounds, wound types, care challenges, and impact across dementia stages: A scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to map the existing evidence on the epidemiology, care challenges, and impacts of various wound types among individuals living with dementia across different stages of the disease.

Introduction: Dementia is a growing global health concern, projected to rise significantly as the population ages. This condition not only affects cognitive function but also increases the risk of chronic wounds in part due to impairments in mobility, self-care, and communication.

Genomic Epidemiology of 2023-2024 Oropouche Outbreak in Iquitos, Peru reveals independent origin from a concurrent outbreak in Brazil.

Oropouche virus is an arbovirus endemic to the Americas. Periodic outbreaks have occurred since its description in 1955. In late 2023, an outbreak occurred in Peru, centered in and around Iquitos in the Eastern Peruvian Amazon.

Adherence to Wearing Therapeutic Footwear Among People at High-Risk of Diabetes-Related Foot Ulcers in Jordan.

This study aimed to investigate the levels of adherence to wearing therapeutic footwear, and the factors associated, among people at high-risk of diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs) in Jordan. This was a secondary analysis of data from a multi-centre cross-sectional study of participants at high-risk of DFU in Jordan who had therapeutic footwear. Participants had socio-demographic, health, limb, and psychosocial variables collected, plus self-reported their proportion of adherence time wearing therapeutic footwear on an average day (excluding sleeping time) using a visual analogue scale.

Species diversity in the new lamprey genus Occidentis, formerly classified as western North American 'Lampetra'.

Accurate taxonomy is fundamental to the study and conservation of biodiversity. Because of their morphological similarities, most brook and river lampreys in western North America have been placed in the genus Lampetra along with lampreys from Eurasia and eastern North America. However, molecular-based phylogenetic studies dating back several decades indicate that lampreys from Pacific drainages are genetically distinct from Atlantic Lampetra.
