Distribution of ribotypes and sequence types across humans, animals and food in 13 European countries.

is a One Health pathogen found in humans, animals, and the environment, with food representing a potential transmission route. One Health studies are often limited to a single country or selected reservoirs and ribotypes. This study provides a varied and accessible collection of isolates and sequencing data derived from human, animal, and food sources across 13 European countries.

Diversity of PCR ribotypes isolated from freshwater sediments depends on the isolation method.

is an intestinal pathogen of humans and animals. In community-associated infections, the environment is suggested to play a significant role in overall transmission routes. Although the prevalence of in freshwater and soil has been widely studied, little is known about its presence in sediments.

Different sampling strategies for optimal detection of the overall genetic diversity of methicillin-resistant .

Surveillance schemes for methicillin-resistant (MRSA) are widely established at the national and international levels. Due to the simple standardization of the protocol, mainly isolates from bloodstream infections are used. However, the limitations of this simple surveillance system are well described.

TXM peptides inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection, syncytia formation, and lower inflammatory consequences.

After three years of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the search and availability of relatively low-cost benchtop therapeutics for people not at high risk for a severe disease are still ongoing. Although vaccines and new SARS-CoV-2 variants reduce the death toll, the long COVID-19 along with neurologic symptoms can develop and persist even after a mild initial infection. Reinfections, which further increase the risk of sequelae in multiple organ systems as well as the risk of death, continue to require caution.

Comparative Genomics of Clostridioides difficile.

Clostridioides difficile, a Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobic bacterium, has rapidly emerged as the leading cause of nosocomial diarrhoea in hospitals. The availability of large numbers of genome sequences, mainly due to the use of next-generation sequencing methods, has undoubtedly shown their immense advantages in the determination of C. difficile population structure.
