Prevalence and molecular characteristics of mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli isolated from duck farms and the surrounding environments in coastal China.

The emergence of colistin-resistance is considered a threat to public health and colistin-resistant bacteria have recently been reported in animal, environmental and human sources. Whereas, the epidemic and dissemination of colistin-resistant bacteria in duck farms have not been surveyed, especially the surrounding environmental contamination from duck farms. We investigated the prevalence and molecular characteristics of mcr-1-positive E.

Retrospective Data Insight into the Global Distribution of Carbapenemase-Producing .

This study aimed to determine the global distribution and molecular characteristics of carbapenemase-producing isolates. A total of 328 (11.1%, 328/2953) carbapenemase-producing isolates from humans were obtained from public databases as of October 2019.

Absorption of caffeine in fermented Pu-er tea is inhibited in mice.

Caffeine is present in a number of dietary sources consumed worldwide. Although its pharmacokinetics has been intensively explored, little is known about complexed caffeine (C-CAF) in aqueous extraction of fermented Pu-er tea. The major components of C-CAF are oxidative tea polyphenols (OTP) and caffeine.
