Unlabelled: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are divided into two distinct groups: carbapenemase-producing (CPE) and non-carbapenemase-producing (non-CPE). The population of non-CPE growing on CPE selective plates during routine screening is usually not reported and is not well defined. This study aimed to characterize non-CPE isolates growing on those plates.

Bacterial infections can induce exuberant immune responses that can damage host tissues. Previously, we demonstrated that systemic infection in mice causes tissue damage in the liver. This liver necrosis is associated with the expression of endogenous retroviruses, chromosomally integrated retroviruses that encode a reverse transcriptase.

The designated uses of lakes connect individuals to the natural environment, but some can expose recreational users to pathogens associated with fecal contamination that cause waterborne illnesses. Routine monitoring of fecal indicators in surface waters helps identify and track sources of fecal contamination to protect public health. We examined fecal indicators ( and enterococci) and factors influencing recreational freshwater quality.
