The genus Flavobacterium comprises a diversity of species, including fish pathogens. Multiple techniques have been used to identify isolates of this genus, such as phenotyping, polymerase chain reaction genotyping, and in silico whole-genome taxonomy. In this study, we demonstrate that whole-genome-based taxonomy, using average nucleotide identity and molecular phylogeny, is the most accurate approach for Flavobacterium species.

is a genus of microorganisms living in a variety of hosts and habitats across the globe. Some species are found in fish organs, and only a few, such as and , cause severe disease and losses in fish farms. The evolution of flavobacteria that are pathogenic to fish is unknown, and the protein changes accountable for the selection of their colonization to fish have yet to be determined.

Introduction: International guidelines recommend that adults with peripheral artery disease (PAD) be prescribed antiplatelet, statin and antihypertensive medications. However, it is unclear how often people with PAD are underprescribed these drugs, which characteristics predict clinician underprescription of and patient non-adherence to guideline-recommended cardiovascular medications, and whether underprescription and non-adherence are associated with adverse health and health system outcomes.

Methods And Analysis: We will search MEDLINE, EMBASE and Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews from 2006 onwards.

Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is a Gam-negative bacterium responsible for furunculosis in fish. Because this aquatic bacterial pathogen has a rich reservoir of antibiotic-resistant genes, it is essential to investigate antibacterial alternatives, including the use of phages.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) explantation remains a challenge due to endovascular graft ingrowth into the aortic wall with time. Surgical access into the aortic arch can be difficult either via sternotomy or thoracotomy, and proximal barbs become engaged firmly into the aortic wall. Explantation often requires extensive thoracic aortic resection, sometimes from the distal aortic arch to the abdominal aorta, followed by reconstruction, risking injury to surrounding neurovascular structures and even death.
