Carbapenem-resistant (CRAb) is an important pathogen causing serious nosocomial infections. We describe an outbreak of CRAb in an intensive care unit in the Netherlands in 2021. During an outbreak of non-resistant , while infection control measures were in place, CRAb isolates carrying highly similar and encoding plasmids were isolated from three patients over a period of several months.

Article Synopsis
- Advances in biorecognition engineering technologies, such as molecularly imprinted polymers, recombinant antibodies, and antibody mimetics, offer promising alternatives for cancer detection.
- A review of scientific literature from 2000 to 2021 revealed that antibody mimetic molecules are the most prevalent technology used, focusing on cancers like breast and lung cancer, while electrochemical and optical methods were the preferred detection techniques.
This editorial summarises the organisation, activities, and scientific content of the 6th European Student Council Symposium (ESCS) organised by the International Society for Computational Biology Student Council (ISCB-SC). The event was held on September 6, 2020, as a satellite event preceding the ISCB's 19th European Conference in Computational Biology. Both events were first planned to be held in-person in Sitges, Spain, but moved virtually as a strategy to face the SARS-CoV2 sanitary crisis.

- * Fungal strains isolated from plants growing in metal-rich mine tailings showed the ability to remove substantial amounts of heavy metals from cultures and revealed novel metabolic responses, including the production of specific phenolic compounds and organic acids.
- * The study suggests that these endophytic fungi could serve as effective agents for restoring environments contaminated with heavy metals, leveraging their unique chemical responses to metal exposure.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: We provide an extensive summary of the in vitro antibacterial properties of medicinal plants popularly used in Mexico to treat infections, and we discuss the ethnomedical information that has been published for these species.
Materials And Methods: We carried out a bibliographic investigation by analyzing local and international peer-reviewed papers selected by consulting internationally accepted scientific databases from 1995 to 2014. We provide specific information about the evaluated plant parts, the type of extracts, the tested bacterial strains, and the inhibitory concentrations for each one of the species.
