Article Synopsis
- * This study used high-frequency monitoring data to identify nearly 3000 potential contaminants, revealing that over half of these compounds likely come from irregular emissions, primarily linked to industrial activities.
- * The research also pinpointed sixteen specific irregularly emitted substances with confirmed industrial origins and suggests a common source for an additional 40 compounds, proposing further studies to discover unknown contaminants in other river systems.
Article Synopsis
- A case series investigated an outbreak of infection in a flock of lorikeets, identifying key clinical signs such as lethargy, weight loss, and anemia in suspected cases.
- Four out of eleven suspected cases were confirmed infected through fecal examination, with confirmed infections showing a broader range of clinical presentations and high total scores correlating to anemia.
- Follow-ups after treatment indicated that affected birds showed signs of recovery, emphasizing the importance of thorough physical exams to identify infected birds and the need for further testing even in the absence of ova shedding.
Background: Enterobacter cloacae complex contains nosocomial pathogens responsible for infection outbreaks. Identification at the species level within the E cloacae complex remains difficult. Using whole genome sequencing, our aim was to decipher the transmission routes that led to the death of six of seven neonates who had bacteraemia caused by E cloacae complex isolates in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) over a 13 month period.

Molecular biology tests are rapid but might miss low-level carriage. Culture-based methods using enrichment are cheap and detect low-level carriage but cause delay.
