Antibiotic sensitivity of 21 Campylobacter strains isolated from humans, monkeys and birds with diarrhea was assayed and the findings are presented. It was shown that all the isolates were highly sensitive to ofloxacin, pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, josamycin, pipemidinic acid and amoxyclav (a combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid). The predominating majority of the strains were resistant to rifampicin, amoxycillin and phosphomycin. The majority of the cultures were sensitive to erythromycin and roxithromycin while some of the isolates were resistant to them which could be used as an additional biological characteristic of Campylobacter cultures and considered in choosing agents for antibiotic therapy.

The expression profile of the key genes of biosynthesis (VTC2, GPP, GalDH, and GalLDH) and recycling (MDHAR1, MDHAR4, and MDHAR5) of ascorbate in response to infection with the fungal pathogen Fusarium proliferatum in garlic cultivars resistant (Podnebesny) and sensitive (Dubkovsky) to Fusarium rot was determined. It was found that differences in resistance to Fusarium lead to discrepancies in the dynamics and expression of individual genes of the ascorbate pathway, as well as in the ascorbate content. It was shown that, in response to infection, the expression level of the MDHAR4 gene increases in the resistant cultivar and decreases in the Fusarium-sensitive accession.

Endophytes are bacteria that inhabit host plants for most of their life cycle without causing harm. In the study, 15 endophytic bacteria were isolated from 30 forage Sorghum plants and assessed for various plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits, such as phosphate solubilization, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity, ammonia production, siderophore production, gibberellic acid production, Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, and zinc solubilization. One isolate, JJG_Zn, demonstrated multiple PGP activities and was identified as Enterobacter sp.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a (MTB)-specific triple-color FluoroSpot assay (IFN-γ/IL-2/TNF-α) in the differentiation of tuberculosis (TB) infection status in febrile patients.
Method: Febrile patients with suspected active TB (ATB) were consecutively enrolled. The frequencies and proportions of MTB-specific T cells secreting IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α were detected at the single-cell level by triple-color FluoroSpot assay.
