Staphylococcus caprae Infections in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Report of Two Cases.

() is a coagulase-negative staphylococci. This group of bacteria is typically part of the skin flora but can become pathogenic in susceptible hosts, such as preterm infants with prolonged stays in neonatal intensive care units. Two preterm newborns with late-onset sepsis caused by , one of whom also developed meningitis.

Using a sensitive screen-printed electrode based on printex L6 and polyaniline activated carbon for piroxicam detection.

This study reports the development and implementation of a straightforward, rapid, and cost-effective voltammetric technique for piroxicam (PIR) detection at nanomolar concentrations in biological and environmental samples. The method involved the use of a screen-printed electrode (SPE) enhanced with a combination of Printex L6 carbon (PL6C) and polyaniline-based activated carbon (PAC) on a chitosan film crosslinked with epichlorohydrin (CTS:EPH). The detection was carried out using square-wave adsorptive anodic stripping voltammetry (SWAdASV) in a 0.

Assessing azithromycin's ecological toll: Unveiling multifaceted impacts on Poecilia reticulata THROUGH biomarker analysis.

This study investigates the impact of environmentally relevant concentrations of azithromycin on Poecilia reticulata, through biomarkers at different levels. To this end, the somatic indexes of P. reticulata were evaluated, and liver and gill samples were collected and analyzed for biochemical and histopathological alterations.

infection on European farms is associated with an altered tonsil microbiome and resistome.

is a Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen causing systemic disease in piglets around weaning age. The factors predisposing to disease are not known. We hypothesized that the tonsillar microbiota might influence disease risk via colonization resistance and/or co-infections.

25(OH)D concentrations are not associated with adiposity indicators, but with the stage of immunodeficiency in people with HIV/AIDS.

Objective: this study assessed the association between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and anthropometric indicators of adiposity in people living with HIV/AIDS taking highly active antiretroviral therapy.

Methods: the study included 244 people living with HIV/AIDS who received outpatient care at the Institute of Tropical Diseases in the city of Teresina, Brazil. Sociodemographic, clinical, anthropometric and laboratory characteristics were examined.
