Prevalence and Risk Factors of Multidrug-Resistant Infection in Clinical Dogs and Cats - China, 2018-2021.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: spp., while naturally occurring as commensal bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans, have emerged as significant opportunistic pathogens in healthcare settings.

What Is Added By This Report?: A comprehensive surveillance study revealed enterococci in 14.

Characterisation of Strains and Their Prophages That Carry Horse-Specific Leukocidin Genes .

Leukocidins of (.) are bicomponent toxins that form polymeric pores in host leukocyte membranes, leading to cell death and/or triggering apoptosis. Some of these toxin genes are located on prophages and are associated with specific hosts.

Gold Nanorods Decorated by Conjugated Microporous Polymers for Infrared Responsive Cytostatic Drug Delivery.

Near-infrared (NIR) controlled drug delivery systems have drawn a lot of attention throughout the past few decades due to the deep penetration depth and comparatively minor side effects of the stimulus. In this study, we introduce an innovative approach for gastric cancer treatment by combining photothermal infrared-sensitive gold nanorods (AuNRs) with a conjugated microporous polymer (CMP) to create a drug delivery system tailored for transporting the cytostatic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). CMPs are fully conjugated networks with high internal surface areas that can be precisely tailored to the adsorption and transport of active compounds through the right choice of chemical functionalities.

Prolonged Preservation of up to 24h at 10°C does not Impact Outcomes after Lung Transplantation.

Objective: To determine the impact of prolonged storage of donor lungs at 10°C of up to 24h on outcome after lung transplantation.

Background: An increasing body of evidence suggests 10°C as the optimal storage temperature for donor lungs. A recent study showed that cold ischemic times can be safely expanded to >12h when lungs are stored at 10°C.

High prevalence and plasmidome diversity of -positive enterococci in a Shenzhen community, China.

Background: The emergence of , which can confer resistance to phenicols and oxazolidinones in spp., poses a growing public health threat.

Methods: 102 -positive enterococci (OPEs) including various species were isolated from feces of 719 healthy volunteers in a Shenzhen community, China.
