Background: Preterm birth is the leading cause of mortality in newborns, with very-low-birth-weight infants usually experiencing several complications. Breast milk is considered the gold standard of nutrition, especially for preterm infants with delayed gut colonization, because it contains beneficial microorganisms, such as and .
Aim: To analyze the gut microbiota of breastfed preterm infants with a birth weight of 1500 g or less.
Article Synopsis
- The study presents draft genome sequences of four Bordetella pertussis isolates linked to significant outbreaks in northeastern Mexico from 2008 to 2014.
- These isolates belong to a specific lineage and are categorized into two main clusters based on their genetic alleles.
- The research contributes to understanding the genetic diversity of B. pertussis during recent outbreaks.*
Objective: the association between vitamin D and COVID-19 severity is not consistent. We compared prevalences and analyzed the association between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 severity in Northeast Mexico. Methods: this was a cross-sectional study with individuals consecutively included at a referral diagnostic center during March-September 2020 (n = 181).

The progression and distribution of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are continuously changing over time and can be traced by blood donors' serological survey. Here, we investigated the seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in blood donors in Nuevo Leon, Mexico during 2020 as a strategy for the rapid evaluation of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and asymptomatic case detection. We collected residual plasma samples from blood donors who attended two regional donation centers from January to December of 2020 to identify changes in anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG prevalence.

- * A total of 4,495 individuals aged 18 and older were screened for IgG antibodies, revealing a positivity rate of 27.1%, which increased over the months from 11.9% in August to 31.9% in November.
- * The findings indicated that most participants showed no prior evidence of infection, highlighting the need for stricter preventive measures and increased promotion of COVID-19 vaccinations.
