Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a priority for both public health and the global economy. Moreover, information on AMR is scarce, particularly in low/middle-income countries. We evaluated the direct economic cost of microorganisms and AMR.

The continued use of synthetic fungicides to control the diseases favors the emergence of resistant strains, which encourages the search for alternatives. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) as antifungal agents against local isolates of and , each of them in a fungicide-sensitive and -resistant version, and a isolate.

- Amazonia's floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse, but our understanding of its forest species and their unique roles is still limited, especially as changing flood patterns impact these communities.
- About one-sixth of the tree diversity in Amazonia is specifically adapted to live in floodplain environments, indicating a significant ecological specialization within these forests.
- The study emphasizes that the unique composition of floodplain forests is influenced by regional flooding patterns, highlighting the necessity of maintaining overall hydrological health to ensure the survival of Amazon's tree diversity and its essential ecosystem functions.
