Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate if orangutans at a Wisconsin zoo had antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, linking them to human strains due to close contact with zoo staff.
  • Fecal samples from two orangutans were tested for resistant bacteria using specific culture media, and identification was done through mass spectrometry and antimicrobial testing.
  • One bacterial isolate was further analyzed and identified as Escherichia coli, specifically the ST6448 strain with a resistance gene (CTX-M-55), suggesting a potential risk of resistance transfer from animals to humans.

Duplication 15q (dup15q) syndrome is the most common genetic cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Due to a higher genetic and phenotypic homogeneity compared to idiopathic autism, dup15q syndrome provides a well-defined setting to investigate ASD mechanisms. Previous bulk gene expression studies identified shared molecular changes in ASD.

Flooding poses a serious public health hazard throughout the world. Flood modeling is an important tool for emergency preparedness and response, but some common methods require a high degree of expertise or may be unworkable due to poor data quality or data availability issues. The conceptually simple method of inverse distance weight modeling offers an alternative.
