Unlabelled: is an emerging fungal pathogen notable for its resistance to multiple antifungals and ability to survive in various environments. Understanding the interactions between and environmental protozoa, such as could provide insights into fungal adaptability and pathogenicity. Two isolates (MMC1 and MMC2) were co-cultured with to examine interaction dynamics, survival, stress responses, growth, virulence, biofilm formation, and antifungal susceptibility.

Background: Despite the global public health threat posed by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter spp., clinical and molecular epidemiological studies on international isolates remain scarce. Historically, the taxonomy of Enterobacter has been challenging, limiting our understanding of the clinical characteristics and outcomes of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter spp.

Proteolytic fermentation induces negative effects on gut health and function, which may affect pig performance. The objective was to conduct a meta-analysis to develop an index of dietary indigestible dietary protein (IDP) to investigate growth performance outcomes of mixed-sex weanling pigs (average body weight of 7.59 kg).

Skeletal fracture resistance emerges from multiple components of bone structure like microarchitecture, matrix mineralization, and organization. These characteristics are engendered via mechanisms like the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) pathway, involving two paralogs, HIF-1α and HIF-2α. Under normoxia, HIF-α is targeted for degradation via von-Hippel Lindau (VHL); hypoxia enables HIF-α stabilization and induction of target genes.
