Article Synopsis
  • Olorofim was tested against various species and showed strong effectiveness, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range between 0.008 and 0.06 µg/mL.
  • Olorofim maintained its potent activity even against strains that had high fluconazole resistance (MICs of 16 µg/mL or more).
  • The overall geometric mean MIC for olorofim across all isolates was very low, at 0.010 µg/mL, indicating its potential as a valuable treatment option.

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3) has decimated kiwifruit orchards growing susceptible kiwifruit Actinidia chinensis varieties. Effector loss has occurred recently in Psa3 isolates from resistant kiwifruit germplasm, resulting in strains capable of partially overcoming resistance present in kiwiberry vines (Actinidia arguta, Actinidia polygama, and Actinidia melanandra).

Context: Disparities in cardiovascular disease prevalence and death exist among South Carolina's rural residents. Blood pressure self-monitoring (BPSM), where individuals measure their own blood pressure outside of the clinical environment, coupled with additional support, is an evidence-based, cost-effective strategy that is underutilized at large.

Program: The YMCA's BPSM program is an evidence-based, 4-month program that includes 2 individualized office hours with a Healthy Heart Ambassador and 4 nutrition education sessions per month.
