Understanding SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology in companion animals is critical for evaluating their role in viral transmission and their potential as sentinels for human infections. This large-scale serosurvey analyzed serum samples from 706 cats and 2,396 dogs collected across the USA in 2023 using a surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT) to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Overall, 5.

- The study investigates how N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can disrupt extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in bacterial biofilms, which help protect bacteria from treatments.
- Researchers used microscopy techniques to observe NAC's effects on single cells and early biofilms of the Xylella fastidiosa bacteria.
- The findings suggest that NAC significantly alters both soluble and tightly bound EPS, enhancing bacterial mobility and potentially aiding in the treatment of bacterial infections.
Background & Hypothesis: Cognitive impairment is common in patients being evaluated for a kidney transplant (KT). The association between pretransplant cognitive function and posttransplant outcomes is unclear.
Study Design: We performed a prospective cohort study to assess the association between pretransplant cognitive function and clinically relevant posttransplant outcomes.
A 2-yr-old female Brahma chicken was presented to the Poultry Mobile Clinic of the College of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University with a 3-wk onset of a wet sneeze that progressed to wheezing with a whistle-type sound. Upon observation, a cyst was found above the left clavicle in the area around the crop. The bird was euthanatized due to the progressive and chronic nature of the symptoms.
