Pathogenic gram-negative bacteria frequently carry genes encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and/or carbapenemases. Of great concern are carbapenem resistant , , and . Despite the need for rapid AMR diagnostics globally, current molecular detection methods often require expensive equipment and trained personnel.

- Researchers created a new mouse model called EvoCaP to study how prostate cancer spreads to other parts of the body, including bones, liver, and lungs.
- They tracked tumor migration using a barcoding technique, finding that only a few aggressive clones are responsible for most of the cancer's spread, while the majority of cells stay localized.
- The study suggests that prostate cancer acts as a systemic disease driven by these aggressive clones, and understanding these patterns is crucial for developing new treatments.
Unlabelled: The dissemination of multidrug-resistant (MDR) STc131 is related to its persistence in the human gastrointestinal tract as efficient gut colonizers. Infection and prevention measures are the cornerstones for preventing STc131 spread. Oral decolonization therapies that target ST131 are being developed.

We consider the specific affordances of cultural production theory for examining how sociohistorical and cultural discourses of impact individuals at every level of education. We then extend this discussion by exploring how an informal learning space at a prestigious science museum was designed to explicitly tackle cultural discourses of that act as barriers to identification with science.
