Case Report: We report the case of a 63-year-old patient who underwent aortic valve replacement with a biological valve for a bicuspid aortic stenosis, and LIMA-IVA single-bypass surgery. Two weeks later, he presented with Enterococcus faecillis bacteremia, attributed to left pyelonephritis and successfully treated with Amoxicillin. Two months after his surgery, he had a new bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecalis and we discovered a pseudo-aneurysm of the mitro-aortic trigone.

Essential genes are those whose presence is vital for a cell's survival and growth. Detecting these genes in disease-causing organisms is critical for various biological studies, including understanding microbe metabolism, engineering genetically modified microorganisms, and identifying targets for treatment. When essential genes are expressed, they give rise to essential proteins.

Utilising agricultural byproducts specifically fruit wastes for bioethanol production offers a promising approach to sustainable energy production and waste mitigation. This approach focuses on assessing the biochemical composition of fruit wastes, particularly their sugar content, as a key aspect of bioethanol production. This study evaluates the potential of pineapple, mango, pawpaw and watermelon fruit wastes for bioethanol production, highlighting the substantial organic waste generated during fruit processing stages such as peeling and pulping.
