Environmental risk assessment of petrogenic hydrocarbon spills in mangrove ecosystems: the Tumaco case study as a baseline, Colombian Pacific.

Petrogenic hydrocarbon spills (PHS) are harmful to mangrove ecosystems along tropical coastlines in the short and long term. The aim of this study was to assess the environmental risk of recurrent PHS on mangrove ecosystems in Tumaco municipality, Colombian Pacific. Mangrove characteristics and management aspects led to subdividing the study area into 11 units-of-analysis (UAs) for which threats, vulnerability, potential impacts, and risks were assessed based on environmental factors and the formulation and use of indicators in a rating scale with five categories, which are very low, low, moderate, high, and very high.

Comparative Genomics of Clinical and Environmental Isolates of spp. of Colombia: Implications of Traits Associated with Virulence and Resistance.

There is widespread concern about the increase in cases of human and animal infections caused by pathogenic species due to the emergence of epidemic lineages. In Colombia, active surveillance by the National Institute of Health (INS) has confirmed the presence of ; however, in routine surveillance, these isolates are not genomically characterized. This study focused on the pangenome analysis of six species: , , , , and to determine the genetic architectures of potentially virulent and antimicrobial resistance traits.
