The frequency of erythromycin resistance within group A streptococci in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 1995 to 2001 was 2.1% (26 isolates). Of this, 57.7% was macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS) inducible, 7.7% was MLS constitutive, and 34.6% had the M phenotype. Eleven different emm sequence types were found among 25 erythromycin-resistant isolates tested. Nineteen of 26 erythromycin-resistant isolates were additionally resistant to tetracycline and/or chloramphenicol.

Germanium Atoms Exceed the Tetrahedral Coordination in MFI Zeolite.

Université de Caen Normandie, ENSICAEN, CNRS, LCS, 14000 Caen, France.
Germanium is known to occupy tetrahedral sites by substituting silicon in germanosilicate zeolites. In this study, we present pioneering findings regarding the synthesis of zeolites with an MFI structure (GeMFI) incorporating a high germanium amount (16% Ge). Remarkably, the germanium atoms feature a slight electron deficiency with respect to GeO, and the typical coordination number of 4, as usually reported for the germanosilicate zeolites, is exceeded, giving rise to Ge dimers in a double-bridge configuration.

The present study investigates the natural ability of Bacillus velezensis R22 to produce 2,3-BD from two inulin-rich substrates - insoluble and soluble chicory flour. After complex optimization of the media content and process parameters by consecutive application of Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology, the strain R22 was capable of producing 71.2 g/L (95.

Article Synopsis
- AI applications in healthcare, especially neurosurgery, are rapidly increasing, highlighting the need for understanding AI fundamentals to inform decisions on its future use.
- A global survey of 250 neurosurgeons revealed limited knowledge of AI concepts, with only a few respondents accurately defining key terms like Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
- Despite low familiarity with AI basics, a strong interest and positive attitude towards integrating AI into neurosurgery were noted, with barriers such as lack of funding and infrastructure identified as key challenges.
Diagnostic Challenges in the Detection of Actinomycotic Osteomyelitis of the Mandible: A Case Report.
Case Rep Dent
January 2025
Department of Dental, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Medical University, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Actinomycosis is a rare chronic granulomatous infection and can be caused by Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria which are normal commensals of the oral cavity and pharynx. These organisms can involve different parts of the maxillofacial region, rarely affecting the jaws. Actinomycotic osteomyelitis is an infection of the jaw bones, typically associated with trauma or an underlying nonspecific infection or disease.
