Article Abstract

The total number of 26,701 cases of bacterial foodborne infections and intoxications were registered in 2000. The incidence was 96.9/100,000 population. S. Enteritidis was found in 96.9% of cases in outbreaks caused by Salmonella sp. The main vehicle of foodborne infections and intoxications in outbreaks (in Poland defined as 4 and more sick people) was food prepared from eggs (44.4% cases in outbreaks, 54.4% cases caused by Salmonella). Private homes prevailed (56.1% of outbreaks) among the places of the ready made food production. Six epidemics with 100 and more cases each were registered. Four deaths were noted in outbreaks in 2000.

AIP56, an AB toxin secreted by subsp. , has tropism for myeloid cells.

Front Immunol

Introduction: The AB-type toxin AIP56 is a key virulence factor of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Phdp), inducing apoptosis in fish immune cells. The discovery of AIP56-like and AIP56-related toxins in diverse organisms, including human-associated Vibrio strains, highlights the evolutionary conservation of this toxin family, suggesting that AIP56 and its homologs may share conserved receptors across species.

Objective: Global per capita alcohol consumption is increasing, posing significant socioeconomic and medical challenges also due to alcohol-related traumatic injuries but also its biological effects. Trauma as a leading cause of death in young adults, is often associated with an increased risk of complications, such as sepsis and multiple organ failure, due to immunological imbalances. Regulatory T cells play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis by regulating the inflammatory response.

According to WHO, dengue fever (DF) is currently endemic to more than 100 countries in various regions of Africa, America, and Asia; outbreaks have been reported in Europe. In the Russian Federation, there is a much smaller proportion of children among those infected due to the imported nature of the infection. We described a clinical case of imported dengue fever in an adolescent girl in Moscow after a 5-day vacation.

The emergence of new psychoactive substances (NPS) in the global drug market since the 2000s has posed major challenges for regulators and law enforcement agencies. Among these, synthetic cathinones have gained prominence due to their stimulant effects on the central nervous system, leading to widespread recreational use. These compounds, often marketed as alternatives to illicit stimulants such as amphetamines and cocaine, have been linked to numerous cases of intoxication, addiction and death.
