Nosocomial transmission of NDM-1-containing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST147 in a Dutch pediatric oncology center associated with patients from Ukraine.

We studied nosocomial transmission of multidrug-resistant bla-containing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST147 in a Dutch pediatric oncology center. Whole-genome multilocus sequence typing revealed two genetic clusters consisting of 2 and 5 K. pneumoniae isolates, both from Ukrainian medical evacuees and Dutch patients.

Grp78 is required for intestinal Kras-dependent glycolysis proliferation and adenomagenesis.

In development of colorectal cancer, mutations in are often followed by mutations in oncogene The latter changes cellular metabolism and is associated with the Warburg phenomenon. Glucose-regulated protein 78 () is an important regulator of the protein-folding machinery, involved in processing and localization of transmembrane proteins. We hypothesize that targeting in and ()-mutant intestines interferes with the metabolic phenotype imposed by mutations.

Pre-Operative SARS-CoV-2 Testing in Asymptomatic Heart Transplantation Recipients.

Introduction: From the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, international guidelines have recommended pre-operative screening for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) before heart transplantation (HTx). Due to the changing prevalence of COVID-19, the chances of false positive results have increased. Because of increased immunity in the population and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 to current Omicron variants, associated mortality and morbidity have decreased.

Scanning Electron Microscopy and First Molecular Data of Two Species of (Copepoda: Lernaeidae) from (Cyprinidae) and (Clariidae) in Kenya.

A parasitological study carried out in May 2022 and March 2023 in the Nyando River of Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya, disclosed two parasitic lernaeid copepods: Humes, 1957, from the gills of a cyprinid, the Ningu Boulenger, 1901, endemic to the Lake Victoria drainage system, and Fryer, 1957, from a clariid, the North African catfish (Burchell, 1822). The copepods were studied and supplementary taxonomic information was presented using scanning electron micrographs and genetic data. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provided information on the morphology of 's antennae, oral region, thoracic legs (2-5), and furcal rami not previously reported.

Integrated morphological and molecular characterization of the fish parasitic nematode Campana-Rouget, 1961 infecting (Boulenger, 1900) in Kenya.

During a parasitological survey carried out between May and August 2022 in the River Nyando, Lake Victoria Basin, a single species of Railliet, 1916 (Nematoda: Rhabdochonidae) was recorded from the intestine of the Rippon barbel, (Boulenger, 1900) (Cyprinidae). Based on light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and DNA analyses the parasite was identified as () Campana-Rouget, 1961. Light microscopy, SEM and DNA studies on this rhabdochonid resulted in a detailed redescription of the adult male and female.
