High qnrS retention of ESBL-producing and mcr-harbouring colistin-resistant Escherichia coli in Vietnamese food products.

Plasmid-mediated antibiotic-resistant bacteria's transmission is fatal and a major threat to public health. This study aimed to clarify the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance（PMQR）genes in extended-spectrum β-lactamase（ESBL）-producing or/and mcr-harbouring colistin（COL）-resistant Escherichia coli（ESBL-COL-EC）isolates from Vietnamese and Japanese chicken meat. Resistance towards ciprofloxacin（CIP）was examined in 308 ESBL-COL-EC isolates; CIP-resistant ESBL-COL-EC isolates were examined for the PMQR gene.

Edible river fish-derived extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales harboring transferable plasmids encoding , , and .

Transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes has increased the global prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria, especially in developing countries. Human infection with these bacteria may be food-mediated but has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to examine ESBL-producing bacteria in edible river fish and elucidate their potential for horizontal gene transfer.

Successful Management of Pulmonary Mucormycosis Presenting as Round Pneumonia by Lung Resection in a Kidney Transplant Recipient.

Relationship between Driving Ability and Physical Fitness Factors in Older Adults: A Multiple Linear Regression Analysis.

The number of older drivers is increasing with the aging population; this has led to concerns about traffic accidents involving older drivers. For older adults, the automobile is not just a means of transportation, but a life necessity that promotes social activities and maintains and improves health-related quality of life. In this study, we aimed to clarify the relationship between driving ability and physical fitness factors among 70 older adult drivers using a single regression analysis and multiple regression models adjusted for age, sex, and other factors.

Beyond transportation, automobiles represent a vital lifeline for older adults, fostering social activities and influencing their health-related quality of life. This study explores improving and sustaining driving ability among older adults with anticipated declines through health-conscious exercises.

IncHI2 Plasmid Encoding and in Salmonella enterica SE20-C72-2 and Escherichia coli EC20-C72-1 Isolates from the Edible River Fish Anabas testudineus.

Salmonella enterica SE20-C72-2 and Escherichia coli EC20-C72-1 were isolated from the edible fish Anabas testudineus in Vietnam.

ESBL-producing Vibrio vulnificus and V. alginolyticus harbour a plasmid encoding ISEc9 upstream of bla and qnrS2 isolated from imported seafood.

In recent years, trade liberalisation has led to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in food products. Because ARB has reportedly been found in imported foods, the spread of plasmid-mediated ARB through food products is a concern. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of ESBL-producing Vibrio vulnificus and V.

Using simple economic games to assess social orienting and prosocial behavior in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

Deficits in socio-emotional reciprocity, in prosocial behavior and in developing social relationships are diagnostic criteria of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), usually assessed by self-report or observation. Simple social experiments developed by behavioral economists allow for quantification of ASD-related social behavior. In this study, we used such experiments to compare social-economic decision-making between ASD adolescents and neurotypical controls.
