Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the spectroscopic analysis of mercury(II)-thiolate complexes, which is essential in understanding the bioinorganic chemistry of mercury.
  • Researchers show that they can accurately predict Hg NMR chemical shifts for these complexes using specific computational methods, achieving results within 40 parts per million (ppm) of experimental values.
  • The findings indicate that the length of the Hg-S bond significantly influences chemical shifts, and using this information alongside experimental NMR data can help optimize the binding sites of mercury(II) in proteins.

Article Synopsis
  • The global antimicrobial resistance crisis has prompted international efforts to improve antimicrobial stewardship in the veterinary sector, facing challenges like expert shortages and lack of treatment guidelines.
  • Surveys and research initiated by the COST Action ENOVAT aim to address these issues by exploring current practices and improving diagnostics.
  • The white paper emphasizes the need for a sustainable European veterinary research agenda to ensure long-term improvements in antimicrobial use and resistance management.

Acute diarrhoea is a common presentation in dogs, and a common reason for antimicrobial prescription and nutraceutical use. This evidence-based guideline provides recommendations for antimicrobial and probiotic treatment of canine acute diarrhoea (CAD). A multidisciplinary panel developed the recommendations by adhering to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.

Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a vital One Health issue; the rational use of antimicrobials is essential to preserve their efficacy. Veterinarians cite pressure from pet owners as a contributor to antimicrobial prescription. Engaging pet owners in antimicrobial stewardship could reduce this pressure.
