Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic contaminants that were produced and used in large quantities for their stability, inertness, and other desirable electrical, cooling, and lubricating properties. Due to their environmental persistence and improper disposal, these contaminants have become broadly distributed in the environment. This study examines the levels, composition, distribution, and potential sources of these compounds in surface soils and street dusts collected at 19 residential and industrial areas in Detroit, Michigan.

Introduction: The emergence of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is a growing public health concern. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and multi-drug resistant (MDR) profiles of MRSA in goats in Bangladesh.
Methodology: A total of 150 samples from goats comprised of rectal swab (n = 50), nasal swab (n = 50), and milk (n = 50) were collected.

Subclinical mastitis (SCM), a silent threat in the dairy sector of Bangladesh poses a significant economic impact and serves as a potential source of infection for healthy cows, hindering efforts to achieve milk self-sufficiency. Despite the importance of this issue, limited research has been conducted on mastitis in Sylhet region of Bangladesh. This study aimed to investigate the molecular prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile and resistant genes detection on pathogens ( and causing SCM.

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a critical pathogen associated with hospital-acquired infections, particularly in burn and intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and is notorious for its high level of antibiotic resistance. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using Acroptilon repens extract as a promising alternative treatment for combating multidrug-resistant A. baumannii.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the use of Australian coal fly ash (CFA), synthesized zeolite (SynZ), and chitosan-modified zeolite (ModZ) to immobilize beryllium (Be) in contaminated soils at a low-level radioactive waste site in Sydney, Australia.
- Laboratory tests showed that ModZ effectively reduced Be concentrations in pore water by up to 99.5%, while SynZ increased Be levels due to its solubility, highlighting varying performance of these amendments.
- The amendments also enhanced microbial activity and carbon and phosphorus levels in the soil, especially with ModZ, suggesting its promising eco-friendly potential for managing Be contamination.
